Hmm, the beauty of this mod for my board would be that I could ask the questions in Dutch.

this would mean i could use really simple questions, enabling even 'slightly less intelligent' :-) humans to register, while still keeping out the bots and even the human spammers (who don't speak dutch)

still; 2 questions:

- Are there "Phrases" in this plugin so that the title of the question box and the error text can be translated?

- Is it possible to define a {question:answer} set per language?

I am going to install it anyway but consider either a feature request for the future (if not 'yes' already)

PS when reading all the stuff about the problems with CAPTCHA image and all the specific settings etc, I already thought of a custom question system like the one made possible by this. Quite silly vBulletin doesn't want to make this 'out of the box', actually.
totally agree with the MoM award!

That would defeat the whole purpose of this mod.

after install it seems that both questions are 'no' atm.

where do i change the title of the question box and the error text???

ah, i'm very sorry. the search function of the phrases seems to be case-sensitive, even when it is set not be so. Found the phrases!

I came across this plugin just now.

I have one query, is the validation/search function case sensitive or is it customizable.

If it is case sensitive then user might have a tough time figuring out the answer in the right case combination.

Also if the answer is multiple word or a combination of special characters and alphabets, it again can create a problem for the user.

What is required is a system which verifies that the end user is indeed a human with least trouble for the user. and that the user is not prompted again and again unnecessarily to retype the answer or verify them.

The answers, they are not case-sensitive.

antiekeradio, a user posted fairly recently somewhere in this thread with a modification of this hack that allows for questions to be in different languages. However, it is not exactly going to help keeping out spammers any better if the questions are already also in English, is it? And if you want them only in Dutch, you can just put them in in Dutch right from the start.

I'm not sure what you're referring to... the first thing I thought of when I saw that was that you had been installing the Forms Hack and are having trouble with that, but then you should ask for support in that hack's own support thread.

rungss, the answers are case insensitive. Whether the answer is multi-worded or such of course depends entirely upon the administrator of the forum; it is therefore up to them to have the sense to select questions whose answers are straightforward enough to make the user have little choice in how to type their answer as long as they do know what it is. If there is any choice at all, the multiple answers can take care of it, such as by allowing the user to answer either "4" or "four" if the answer is the number four. I am fairly certain that all that is possible to do on my end to ensure the convenience of the user has been done.

I just installed this into our live forum and it works perfectly in 3.6.5! (see here for the hack mod)

See this post.

That's the questions themselves, not the title of the question box and the error text, however.

I think I named those phrases "nospam_question" and "nospam_wrong_answer", but my memory may be failing me.
