I decided to give reCAPTCHA  try so I followed the relevant link and set it up for reCAPTCHA v3.

I entered the public and private keys into the relevant boxes in the SMF anit spam - recaptcha admin area.  And saved.

Someone attempted to register and got (the attached)

Suggestions?

Your keys must be for v2 of the api. I've only tried the checkbox type, since that's the one I used when I integrated it.

Maybe a small language change to state that SMF using v2.

Thanks

I've now changed it to recaptcha v2 keys so hopefully it works now.

Feel free to try for me :)

I can see captcha image and checkbox there, but I can also see the input field below which I'm not sure what's there for.

I believe that's being discussed in the reCaptcha mod support thread, to do with setting questions in conjunction with reCaptcha.

SMF 2.1 has recaptcha by default, so it is not using the mod.

Yes correct 2.1 has it by default.

Dzonny - thanks. Someone else had the same result - see attachment - I presume that's what you are seeing too ?

I'm wondering if that's where the verification question is supposed to appear.

I also had this very same thing. 

Yes that's where the verification question is when it's working.  On my test site the that text entry box was showing without the question, even though the number of verification to show was set to 0.  The only way to get rid of that rogue entry box was to delete the question(s) and save.

Just managed to get it to do it again.  Screenshot, one showing the extra entry box, but no question, and one showing the setting.

Again the only way to get rid of that entry box was to remove the question and answer. And save.

Check it isn't the intentional hidden input showing.

I looked at the site of landyvlad.  The hidden input works as expected. The element in question is

Code Select
<input type="text" name="register_vv[q][]" size="30" value="" tabindex="8" required="">

live627 - I don't understand that at all, but I assume it wasn't directed at me anyway, :) but to others who may be able to help resolve the issue.

The fix that live627 linked to above has been merged.
I promise you nothing.
Sesqu... Sesqui... what?

when was it merged.

About 12 hours ago I updated my test forum with latest nightly from  https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=558451.20

The behaviour continues as before - badly :D - so apparently hasn't been sorted yet.

Be good when it is, because it's a pretty major issue if there are problems with members trying to register.

further to the above post - I'm told that if a registering user waits long enough they get this.

The theory that has been proposed is that it might have something to do with https... ?

So does the actual forum need to be HTTPS before recaptcha will work?
