Support for reCaptcha?

[verzogert]

Any plans to support reCaptcha? I really like the new captcha feature, but have had complaints from users that it's hard to decipher. reCaptcha will do the same function but in addition to providing the bot stopping features, som real useful work is being done, too.

Details at http://recaptcha.net/

thanks,

Hi,

Have you looked at Captcha Creator? We chose to partner with these developers because the images it creates are easily readable over 99% of the time.

I really like the idea of reCaptcha, but the images it produces, as far as I can see, are not as readable as Captcha Creator, and I think they are also more easily broken by software.

I'd like to put in my vote for reCaptcha support.

Is it possible to embed reCaptcha code into formmail.php?

I can't see shelling out $36 for something when there is something out there with comparable quality for free. No offense to the guys at Captcha Creator. Their product looks great, very professional. Unfortunately so does reCaptcha.

I also like how reCaptcha helps the digitization of books...

Something to consider...

You can use our free one: http://www.tectite.com/vbforums/showthread.php?t=1208

Thanks for the suggestion russellr.

I looked at the free one, but the images it creates are a bit low quality.
I'm sure a lot of work went into the code for it, but we're looking for something along the lines of reCaptcha or Captcha Creator.

Of course there is the possibility that I did something wrong in my testing of the free Tectite script... I did see an image, yet it looked like something from the old Windows 3.1 days.

Hi,

There's a config in there to clean it up a little, but that's why we partnered with Captcha Creator.
