Indeed!
Never mind maths, let's get potential member's to demonstrate correct use of apostrephe's . . .
Aye, and a bit of korrect speeling wudn't come amiss either.
Best wishes all,

Sorry for the inconvenience - new registrations open again. Heavily modified CAPTCHA will see how it goes.

For some reason I got logged off and had to log on again - the new captcha tbh is offputtingly difficult

Regrettably I also think its not making any difference - still seeing spam registrations - 30 since I turned it back on.

We do this already, this has somehow been breached.
Darren, were you only answering the maths part of exportnanuk's comment, or are the initial posts from new members already screened?

There was a report last week that software to defeat commonly-used CAPTCHAs had been developed:

I've added some registration mods to hopefully stop it. Lets see how it goes.

Yep. Took some time to get that sorted. I had put so many other mods into the forum code I ended up having to go back to a vanilla version and re-introduce things. Took a few hours yesterday morning. Sorry to everyone for the down time yesterday morning.
While at it I took the opportunity to make some updates to the main site, update some general information, add some new groups and ADI's to the databases etc.
