Cannot create VLC wiki account

Postby roliroli » 08 Sep 2013 16:59

Hello,
I'm trying to create a VLC wiki account, but failed.

The description says "To help protect against automated account creation, please type the two words you see in the box below:"
But I don't see any box in register form....

Then I tried to use OpenID to login.

After I logined, I cannot edit any page...
It said I should validate my email, but nothing sent to my Gmail account.

Then I tried to edit the email setting.

But needs the "current password" to change email setting...
so I type my Gmail password as "current password" but failed...

Can someone help me to solve this problem?

I had also problems with creating an account on the wiki page.

In detail: with Chrome the captcha box will not be shown because due to higher security restrictions the page fails to load the CaptchaState from google.com.
Message from console:

Code: Select all

[blocked] The page at https://wiki.videolan.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Main+Page&type=signup ran insecure content from http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/challenge?k=6LdskgkAAAAAAO0iEdbUHI__ocm81doCblbkA6w4.
Maybe you should think about jsonp here or just change the captcha URL to use https.

As I don't want to open a new thread for one more little thing I just put it here, too:
At https://wiki.videolan.org/Developers_Corner/ in the Welcome section the link 'Main Developers Site' points to the old URL, which because it doesn't exist anymore results in a redirect to the startpage.

Best,
_marf
