a little bit to heavy for the most of normal users or?

You can have nice and simple questions. On the other hand, some math-related board may want to use it.

Generally I agree though, it's more a proof-of-concept/just-for-fun type plugin. But it might actually get used.

Thats a really cool feature instead of disabling new registrations completely

You've got my Bertie-vote +1

[tazzarkin]

I've just submitted it to the MODDB.

Here's an image of the ACP module:

I see you followed up on my idea, Igor.

Also a very good addition to "April Fools" and "Troll Virus"

Hahahahaaahahahaahahhhh

You'll definitely win that Bertie!!!

BTW: Admins should be able to solve the questions, too:

70 - 80 = -11

[eviL<3]

70 - 80 = -11

That's the proof that the edit function works.

That one is for not sending e-mails when you're drunk. (and later regret it)
So if you're drunk, you cannot register on a board... Maybe also include an option to turn it on for registered users that might be drunk to?

You have a suggestion to detect a drunk user?

By the way, team members are not eligible to win a bertie anyway. Team member captchas will be an option for the community choice but the bertie will go to the first non-teamie.

I've released a first RC. Check the first post.

Installation instructions for mimTeX

1. Go to the mimeTeX webpage
2. Scroll down to "Precompiled Binaries"
3. Download the binary file depending on which OS your server is running (if you don't know, go to the ACP->System->PHP Information)
4. Upload the mimetex.cgi file to your webhost's cgi-bin folder and set permissions to executable (CHMOD 777)

When you've done that install the captcha plugin and go to the captcha plugin settings -> configuration. There you can set the absolute path to mimeTeX (phpinfo will also help you figure this out). It will be something like: /home/something.com/public_html/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi.
