Added Security against Spammers

[Sam]

I have added a new security feature when a user tries to register on our forum. I have been getting at least 2 new spam registers (robots who want to advertise) on the site each day and it is becoming quite time consuming to go and find them, delete them. So, as an added protection, you now have to choose from an assortment of pictures that go with a particular name> For example: There are 4 pictures and below the name of one of the four pictures. All you have to do is click on the picture that matches the name. For a human, this is very simple, but for a program (spam robot) this could be a problem.

For the time being, the pictures are random, like a soccer ball, Bugs Bunny and other silliness. I would like to tweak the pictures to reflect different types of fish, beaches, boats and other fishing related images.

Just keeping you all up to date.

Great!
That method is far superior to having to type fuzzy letters you can't read!

You arent' kidding! I have to try those things 2 or 3 times before I get it right....is that a zero or an "oh"? Is that a "7" or an "L"????

No, that part is actually disabled now.
