[$80] - Captcha issue when applying as a reviewer

[MonicaMuranyi]

When I want to apply as a reviewer in a challenge I have to add the captcha code multiple times although I enter the correct word. I often get an error page and then I have to click the browser back button and start again entering the captchas until it works. This doesn't happen consistently but it happens in 70% of cases.

@ajefts Is there any way to turn a test user into a reviewer, so it can be tested and fixed?

[ajefts]

yes. I just made reviewer1/topcoder#1 as a code, f2f, and ui proto reviewer.

@ajefts @MonicaMuranyi Should I see the captcha at the same page, where I see the open review positions, and have the Apply Now button? As when I try test reviewer on www.topcoder-dev.com, I don't see it there, but also it does not allow me to press Apply Now - nothing happens.

@ajefts Also, which repo hosts the reviewer auction code?

Expected Fix

1. Find out, how to test for this issue with the locally deployed App (keep in mind, that the related code, might be in another repo).
2. Fix the issue, and provide brief comments, how to test.

@birdofpreyru Can I take this issue please? For some reason, I am unable to assign myself..

[birdofpreyru]

@Colinh84 Sure, it is yours. I'll also update your rights in this repo in a moment

[Colinh84]

@birdofpreyru Thanks!

[Colinh84]

@birdofpreyru I'm not sure this one can be solved - The review system is not part of this repo, and there is no captcha related code either...

[birdofpreyru]

@Colinh84 Well, you are not restricted to this repo only. The code should be in some of the repos belonging to appirio-tech, I believe all they are public, so you can look around, to see if you can find it.

[Colinh84]

@birdofpreyru I've found the repo responisble which is tc1-tcnode. However, I'm having trouble getting it deployed properly on my local linux environment, so I will let someone try this.
