The CAPTCHA in create account screen should be refreshed properly
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

User feedback:

The create account systems:
The capatcha would not change visually(is it supposed to?) after I got it wrong first time(typo) but even if I typed in the correct answer it told me it was wrong answer(it was a pretty easy one so doubt I got it wrong repeatedly),it also seemed like it tried making accounts in the background for when I restarted the app and typed in the capatcha(same as before) it now worked but I had been ip banned for creating to many accounts. 

This won't be a problem for me personally, just wanted to let you know of my experience with the app. Got my account fixed from pc but won't be able to edit for a while :p
