This forums captcha is terrible
« on: August 31, 2013, 05:29:47 AM »
You should really remove this one



I've never even heard that saying so I had to google it. I run my own forums with captcha and I can tell you that you are making it so many can't join because they are not smart enough to think out side the box.

Thank you for taking the time and looking into this issue

Why are you not using recaptcha? The internal picture captcha is easily broken and the word captcha if it doesn't change regularly then bots are just custom changed so it gets past them. Do you not have a web admin? Do you guys need help in that department? I love hammerwatch but it hurts me to see nothing in the community or wiki.
 
Anyways if you are not able to use recaptcha then some suggested word captcha

1. What is the fifth letter in hammerwatch?
2. What is two plus one? (never want to do numerals)
3. How many finger and toes does a human have? (including thumbs)

These are things anyone would know.

Plugin: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1044

I might even build you guys a new template because this one is so plain!

From the look of it he is just using the default template with no other modifications. I'd be happy to just edit the default files and give them to you so you guys can just upload them. It's only 2 source files and the rest is just template modifications. Anyways you know of how to extract the sprites because I'd like to use them in the template I'd be making.
