Some more feedback:

When trying to register for the mentioned forum I run into several problems. First: I don't know where to click (due to turkish language), but with trial and error I found out (I could have used babelfish or the like...). The I got the message:

Code:

Persits.MailSender.4 error '800a000e'

So I still have not registered and therefore I'll provide the feedback here.

• At the beginning of the test, reload did not work. I had to click on the Link on the top of the page to get the password.
  
• When pressing the "Send" button I don't get feedback. I guess this should be the green bar at the top, but it's offscreen when I press (yes, my browserwindow is quite small).
  
• The gray used is too light in some of the puzzles. People with eyeproblems will run into serious problem and might even not be able to do the puzzles at all. From my experience I can say: For filled areas a 25% gray (HTML:#CCCCCC) is minimum and looks like a 50% gray. For text you should always stick to black on white or white on black due to contrast problems. Use used 16% gray for "phantom" and 25% gray for "battleships" and "tank". The "phantom" gray is hardly visible, because it's too light; the "tank"-gray is hardly visible due to missing contrast. The battleships gray is, although being the same gray like the "tank" one, ok. This is, because there it's used for filled areas.
  
• Can't give a 9 as feedback. The star is below the form. This is due to the last column being too small. Anyway I will never provide feedback during the test - this takes time. I think it's better to give feedback after the test. Maybe you can use the results-page for this, because people will go there anyway to look if results are out...
  
• The resultsform for the optimizer is a little bit small, without need, there is enough space.
