I detest captcha, it only inconveniences humans ... search for edb's bobo box plugin ... it's a smidge nicer to humanity

Are you referring to this?

If so, I've installed it - hopefully that will stem the flow of spam!!!

That'd be the one ;)

It's still a "human jump through hoop" though ;)

I don't know what happened but as soon as I installed this the number of spam comments almost trippled!!! I'm going to re-configure the questions/answers but failing that might try recaptcha!

CAPTCHA is more secure than Turing test. See if works better for you

Not a big jump if you use TT font like Arial with large letters and minimal noise :)

OK, well I've now got them both running - hopefully that will decrease the amount of nonsense spam I get! I'll leave it for a while and let you know how i get on...

Incidentally, the ReCaptcha plugin page is providing an invalid link to the download - either that or the designer has removed it. Anyone know what's going on there?

Cheers and Happy New Year

This has done it! No new spam of late...
