[23/11/06] Better captcha

[Jay.W]

Mod team, Thanks for validating.
I will later post some screenshots how the new captcha is with this mod.

I'm waiting to see screenshots.

Not working for me..... I don't see any captcha at all...... will try reinstalling it later

The mod works fine for me (I was already using the beta version).

Made some piccies for people who are wondering what it all looks like:

Probably this is imcompatible with the Stop_Spambot_Registration mod. Checking that out. Also I was wondering.... I am not using SubSilver as default, but AllSat. Could it be...??

I cannot find the line to edit in profile.php. I've tried it partialy, but it's not there. I have a couple of other mods installed, so maybe that's what causing it. I have the extended user profile mod, or what's it called. It could be an interupt there.

Thanks for any replies.

Those images look pretty easy to crack by a bot. The letters are much darker than the surrounding text.

Just give it a try. Takes only 2 min to instrall and it works perfect. This mod, combined with some others, reduced the spam from 1000 per month to ZERO in the last 10 days !

The spam catcher mod that cought almost a 1000 a day before is now totally out of a job

How do you take this Mod and apply it to Guest Posts?

(So far I know) cannot read this one atm. So it is better then the default phpbb captcha. Offcourse it can be done a lot better, but at this moment that isn't needed.

I don't know how that mod is working, so it is possible that there is a incompatible, but I don't know that yet. Will look into it

yongkian, aelis2004 (another template): Hey, does the previous standard phpBB´s visual confirmation work in your template?

If not, you must first enable it in the admin panel - change your template to subsilver for a while and the option is in Configuration just below the Account activation settings.
And there´s another need for edit to enable the VC in other templates - check out this: http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=329 (the part below to edit in your template).

mamba (dark): I think if the signs were not that dark, it would also be for humans very difficult to read them .

yorktown (guest post): Just make sure you have installed the Guest post MOD and then it works there automatically.

paul999 (similar signs): I wonder if it is easy for humans to tell 0 (zero) from O (capital OU) and I (capital AI) from l (EL) and 7 from 1. Do you use all of these signs and all letters and numbers (aA...) in the captcha?

All chars are used, except 0 (Zero)

Won't work for me. All it shows is a red X (no image) where the generated image ought to be.

* The GD library is installed and used to generate images in several added mods.

* No other spam-bot related mods installed.

i dont notice any difference on my board for the original visual confirmation
