Where's the "red bullet" for anti-spam verification for registration?

1583 views

It came to my attention that now the registration anti-spamming requires the users to drag a "red bullet" to a certain location. I tried out the registration page on both chrome and firefox, but couldn't find any red bullet.

@JiaYiyang Thanks for the message. Actually I have no idea about the reason of this isssue. I didn't change anything on the site since months. It is very late here, I will care about as soon as I can.

@JiaYiyang In order to reduce the costs for the site, we have installed a certificate from a free certificate authority yesterday (many thanks to @ChristianPietsch for the installation). As a side effect of a very strict configuration, the process behind our captcha got blocked and the red bullet was no more displayed. This issue has been fixed now and the captcha is working again.

If you are a human please identify the position of the character covered by the symbol $\varnothing$ in the following word:
p$\hbar\varnothing$sicsOverflow
Then drag the red bullet below over the corresponding character of our banner. When you drop it there, the bullet changes to green (on slow internet connections after a few seconds).
