[3.3][DEV] Colourful Anti-Bot Check

[splicker]

Extension Name: Anti-Bot Check

Author: Splicker

Extension Description:
Adds a colourful anti-bot check on the registration page. A random selection of images appear requiring the user to select the matching image from a randomly distorted one in order to complete registration.

Features include:
- Images appear in random order each page load
- Captcha image has random distortions each page load
- Checks if correct image had been selected
- Automatically submits form on image click

*Update*
Adjusted slightly so it now shows below other captchas so you can use it in combination with another anti-bot measure if you like. Download link updated.

This is a conversion of an old mod I made about 5 years back before extensions came along. One of my sites suffered with a massive spam problem caused by bots and traditional captures weren't working. Not 100% perfect but it does it's job really well I think. My sites spam and new bot registrations dropped massively after using this.

Just install the extension and it appears on the registration page. No settings to fool around with. Install and go.

Hi
Thanks for this extension.

For the French guys of this forum a translation is available here

I have corrected the grammar and made a small change so it now shows at the bottom of the registration page. You can now use other captchas in unison if you so wish.

Thanks for the translation, ssl.

This looks awesome, I'll give it a go!

I've had to disable it as registering uses only see:

That is there are only the target image not the one the users need to match? Any ideas?

1as the scrambled image isn't showing I'd guess it could be to do with javascript.

Does your browser have it disabled/blocked?

This is definitely not a problem with my style (so the style you use), which is a normal prosilver, just without colour.

I did test it on the Mac with Safari, however I've just enabled it again and this time is is working perfectly.

Thanks to Tastenplayer for confirming it's not a style problem.

You guys are all awesome!

Since my style is an almost normal prosilver, it cannot be the cause of such problems.
There may be problems with some extensions where the wrap plays a role because the style has a wrap background for the border.
(wrong topic, sorry )

I am seriously considering installing this extension when I finally do the updates .
