Hello,

There is little problem with registration. ReCaptcha V1 not working, you must change to newest version.

Thanks

Thanks for your feedback! I got the same issue, it looks like this.

I got the same when I signed up about a week ago, however when I pushed the refresh button on it, it gave me a new, working captcha. So, it still does seem to work fine, as long as you refresh the captcha code. Not sure what exactly is with this, perhaps the company who the forums are using for them are trying to gain something from claiming this. But then that's just conjecture.

Actually, if you enter the exact text "V1 SHUTDOWN etc. bla bla" then the captcha works.

Sorry, been away for the past week - I’ll try to look at this as soon as I’m able to!

Sorry about the delay - this should now be fixed. :)

Hopefully the "I'm not a bot" reCAPTCHA is efficient at actually stopping bots. Human spammers are really hard to prevent but this may still help us!

Hopefully it will help, indeed!

What about attachments ?

Also, bot spams from computers used by humans might not be countered - Re-capthca in the usual sense usually let known IPs even from other (not-this-forum) instances to pass. For example, as I already used CAPTCHA enough on this IP, the CAPTCHA here doesn't ask to identify stuff anymore.

The captcha won't get through everything, and a lot of spam that does get through is posted by actual humans, not by bots.

Given what the last 5-posts spam did...

Well, just to reduce it a bit more...
