Verification problem

Beezer · 08-26-2005, 01:53 AM

Each time I enter the text string in on the verification page, it keeps telling me it’s an invalid string. This as happened 4 times in a row. If it was just once, I'd say user error. But I know that the last 3 times I entered the string correctly and still got the invalid string error.

On one I decided to keep trying until it worked. I had to enter the text 13 times before it gave me the next city. Help! I need GEOs!!!

Very strange. I haven't touched that code in a while. I just tried a few and they worked fine. Hmmm...

I haven't collected any jewels in the past day -- are the codes you're using still strictly alphanumeric? Could it be an issue with code pages, character sets or keyboard mapping?

I'm mired in unicode coversion stuff for work, so this is top-of-mind right now

Yep. In fact, they're all just hex characters (0-9 and a-f).

I've done a few more, and still haven't had a problem.

Mine appears to have been a one time deal. Everything seems to be working as normal now.

aravan · 08-26-2005, 04:37 AM

As has mine. A little bump in the road that has now passed...

dafied · 08-26-2005, 06:23 PM

i had his problem too. but i not go back, reather go back and then I update the page. Then the problem was away.

ps: I'm german, that is why i speak so bad english :-)

i think the problem is back. i am sure that i type in the right code but it says "invalid verification string."

this happend very often in the last time

War_Peace · 09-02-2005, 12:23 AM

hypeserver · 09-07-2005, 01:44 AM

lol that's very weird, but never happened to me though

Brendo · 09-07-2005, 01:31 PM

This happens to me all the time.
I enter the right code, but it says it is invalid.
Oh Well, thats what betas are for I guess.

araT · 09-07-2005, 01:38 PM

Just hit refresh, its happened to me a few times but 2nd time round it always works

Brendo · 09-07-2005, 01:48 PM

Yeah, It usually works the 2nd time. The most invalid entries I have had for the one jewel is 4.
