image Site: CastleCops enables alternate login for Visually Impaired Members image
CastleCops
A prospective member contacted us recently about the inability to create an account (or even log in) because of the security code image we have in place. Accessibility software cannot read the numbers in the image, thereby halting any membership participation. As of yesterday, CastleCops has implemented a new feature for alternate security code transmission. This new accessibility feature is found in the new user registration page, and in the main member login page. This new access feature is in its infancy and will be enhanced as time goes by, however, we would like to thank one of our newest members in pointing out this obstacle and working with us to solve it.

Great idea..i've had the same request from some of my users at http://www.nukedgallery.net
The only problem i see is that bots will follow that link and then use the number as it's displayed in plain text. there are lots of other large sites out there that use optical barriers to prevent automated registration (yahoo, ticketmaster, etc). perhaps some other method would be more secure (for the site admin), but be just as accessible for those who require it.
