Verification to small

[Boegie Van Tonder]

Good day. The verification letters are to small. Using version 2.0.11
Theme = Dilber Multicolor

After turning it off, I receive to much spam.

Can someone please help to where I can make the size bigger so that new member can register.

Would be highly appreciated.

take a look at http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Spam_-_my_forum_is_flooded_with_spam,_what_can_I_do

increasing the size will not fix the issue.

Hi, thanks for that  but after removing it I received more that 100 new member application overnight. Turning it back on again, did not receive and new member applications.

I need to change it please.

Do all themes use the same capthca?

Is it here somewhere? $txt['visual_verification_description'] in index.english (or any other language).php

So you recommend verification questions. This is a forum about birds.

What questions do you recommend?
Stupid: How much wings do a bird have?
Medium: Can all birds fly?
Difficult: What is the best talking parrot?

questions that you cant easily find the answer on the first page of a google search.

Thank you. Some examples would be great.

1- you would know best what sort of questions/answers your audience should know...
2- You need to make AT LEAST 10 questions... 20 is better...    and then set it to ask 2-3 at registration time.

Thank you. Started with  simple questions:
What year is it?
Are you a robot?
Please leave this answer blank

After turning the captcha off and busy setting up the question I received one new application from a robot.

Will still like to get some nice examples.

Thank you all for responding.

[Kindred]

no. those questions are too simple...


Anything that has been used on dozens of other forums or can be found one the first page of google results is basically useless -- and yes/no questions are useless
(and blank won't work - the system requires an entry in the answer field)

If you have an image logo with words in it, ask to identify a certain word
Ask to identify the n-th character of a random word (weird word, not out of the dictionary)
Ask one or several questions about your forum niche. Yes, Google can answer some but not all

Be creative
Questions don't have to make sense, they just need to be "answerable" by humans with brain
