Cannot create VLC wiki account

[roliroli]

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?

Disable the Firefox blocking of HTTPs mixed on the left of the URL bar.

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,
