I uploaded an Image Verification directory to the images folder, do I rename it to verification?
Also, where do I upload the xml file from the Admincp?

This is my first mod. I see a verification directory, does that go into the images folder? Also, I don't get where to import the xml file and what it does?
Thanks

The verification directory needs to go in the /images directory - just make sure that when you click in the verification directory that the image filenames are the next thing you see.

The product XML is installed through the AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products then scroll down and click on [Add/Import Product] select the XML file in there and it will automatically install.

Wow, thats magic in my book.
Is there a way I can turn it off and only turn it on when I start to get spammed?
(Like from the AdminCP?)

nice looks good and cant wait to see the next version.

i thought you should come up with a few other verification tests then randomly show one and if incorrect randomly show another. since the tests will be different it wont be so easy to bypass unless it is a real person signing up.

Other users are correct -- this can easily be defeated if it gets popular enough. The problem is an easy 1/4 chance to get it right, and the bot could just try again and again as suggested. Even using different IPs/etc. I loved this idea, but unfortunately I have to go with the other method (asking questions) which is more time-consuming to make, but are unique to each forum and require real user input (that has infinite possibilities).

It will help people until there is a crack, so thanks for doing it.

Very nice... Is there any way to change the pictures and the text to somehow match the site you are using it on? For example, I am hosting a fishing forum. Could the folks who register see a certain type of fish, and choose the right one? This might be more interesting and not so childish to these old fogies who sign up. Thanks for you patience.

Yeah this is easy - just remove all the images that come with the package and use your own (it looks neater if you use same size images), and name them something descriptive as the script takes the filename for the answer (ie .... Fish.jpg becomes Fish) - it has the extension stripped.

Having same problem with images not showing. GD is installed and path is going to the right place.

On Windows server vB 3.6.4 I would really like to use this but had to disable for now. Any help would be appriciated.
