Hey all! Happy holidays! I am trying to setup captcha on my forum registration but all mods seem to be for SMF versions previous to 2.0.12

I used to have recaptcha but for some reason it vanished away from my admin section. Please advise, all help is appreciated.

Have you tried installing any of those mods without emulating. Most mods made for version 2.0.x will work.
DO NOT pm me for support!

did you check admin > configuration > security and moderation > anti-spam and the section of "Configure Verification Methods" if you have enabled captcha (specifically: Visual verification image to display)?

Or am I reading your question wrong?

I would recommend http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1044 It is Google's captcha, and for the forum I am admin of, it doesn't seem to trouble legit registrations.

The topic says "none of the mods currently work" - Have you tried and experienced this, or am I reading too much in to this?

How you can help SMF

Kindred

first and foremost, CAPTCHA is basically useless.
the new reCPATCHA works OK for now, but will likely soon be broken by the spammers as always happens.
That being said...  any mod for a 2.0.x version will likely work on any other 2.0.x version, by using the emulate feature as noted above.

However,  The best solution for anti-spam is GOOD QUESTIONS.
