We already have one, Gunny. I turned it off when I registered as a sock. I will go over there and make sure that I checked all of the right boxes when I turned the code back on.

Oh, I didn't know that there was already one. Hopefully it will crack down on the spambots.

Here are the steps I have taken to improve the situation concerning the spambots.

Board General Configuration Update: Visual Confirmation

1. All new users are required to enter a random code matching an image to help prevent mass registration.
(code enabled)

2. All anonymous users are required to enter a random code matching an image to help prevent mass postings.
(code enabled)

3. GD is now used to make a more advanced captcha.

4. Foreground noise is now used to make the GD based captcha harder.

5. Lower settings of this are used to make the GD based captcha harder.

6. GD captcha background noise x-access setting: 10 ( in both spaces) (previous setting, 25)

Hopefully this will prevent further problems.

I went ahead and checked out the new registration visual confirmation requirement. The image is readable, but may be a little on the frustrating side for those who don't want to deal with all of the background noise. Maybe you could ease up a little on the background noise? The previous setting was 25... maybe try 20 and see what happens? Having the noise set at 10 is a little difficult to see, but it will definitely do the job for you, I think. tongue

Okay, Trika, I will change it to 20. However, I have had no spambots register on the boards since I made the adjustments.

I know that my moderator will be dancing when he hears that news.

happy

That is very good news. Even if you lighten up on the noise in the image, the spambots should still stay away. If not, just adjust as necessary.

laugh

I see Gunni did not disappoint me.
I knew you'd be happy about that news, Gunny.

Okay, Trika, try again to see if you can read the confirmation code.
I lightened up a little; 20.

happy

Whoa! It actually is harder to read now than it was before! LOL. Maybe you changed the wrong one, or maybe the number should have gotten smaller instead of larger? Did I read the earlier description wrong about increasing the number? Maybe I did. LOL again. tongue

Yes, I think he did.

Actually, I think he is battling Darth RL, and RL is winning.
