Mod - Verification image at registration

[lax.slash]

I should be banned on SMF 2 and SMF 1.1.7. Also, not sure if it's my computer, or what, but it seems kind of slow...

[Akyhne]

It's the test server that is very slow. When my host isn't under a lot of pressure, the images are generated in no time.

[Peekaazet]

yeah, i tried the 1.1.x version

[Akyhne]

Great. You are also registered in the banning list. If you are going to test the mod, then pm me your site and I will try it out. Keep an eye on the log if you get any errors.
Are you troubled a lot with spammers?

It doesn't seem people are interested in this mod. And I really don't understand. People are complaining about being attacked by spammers, having a lot of bots registering in their forums. This mod should prevent them from doing it.

I might just drop it here and keep it in my forums as extra sequrity.

[Chandy]

I love the mod !
Please adjust the mod Enhanced Captcha Image Verification of vBulletin to SMF.
This mod is really perfect.
My skills are poor for this.
I believe that you can easily  .
Some ss and the original version of vBulletin you examine the code.
Cheers.

I don't believe the sequrity is the same in that mod as in my version. Therefore it has no interest to me.

I'm still interested, but I've been busy a while with a new site I'm working on. Once I get it fairly set up good enough, I'll put the BETA on it. I'll also put CAVECOST on it... (Still in use on my other site)

I think a lot of people are interested, but just afraid of testing a BETA.

[Akyhne]

CAVECOST is not something I will be working anymore as it will never be supported in SMF 2.x.

And there seems to be no interest in this mod. I've had it running in 5-6 forums for a long time now without any issues, any complains from registrants... and hardly any spammers.

The reason I won't release this mod is simple: When barely anyone wants to test it on my sites and repport back, the interest is to little.

Know how you feel but you should not give up. Why? Because your drive should be self driven and you quest for "perfection" be self-judged, not driven by the public's tastes, knowledge or ignorance or disinterest.

Anyways, yesterday I installed your avatar verification mod on my web site that is running SMF 1.1.8  with about 8 mods installed and Tiny Portal 0.98. Installation was though the package manager and it went as smooth as oil.
If me was you, as Lil' Abner used to say, I would feel great, but since me is me I am glad to have found this thread and your mod.

[Akyhne]

Thankd for the nice words marzi.

What I don't want is this: Release a mod, then having a lot of people complaining about installation issues etc.
I don't have the time for that and I don't have the skills. It would be much easier if people would help testing on my test sites, and if someone would also test the mod themself. Then I could take it easy and solve issues when I had the time.
