With NoSpam!, you get to do a question and an CAPTCHA at the same time. With default vB 3.7.x, you get one or the other, not both.

No, this is not reinventing the wheel. This is putting an extra wheel on your unicycle and making it a bike.

End rant.

I'd like to chime in as well... Before Jelsoft aka vBulletin copied the principle of NoSpam - there was CAPTCHA and nothing else - It wasn't a viable premise to keep Spammers from registering. Then NoSpam! was introduced = Simply brilliant modification that cut out 99.9% of all spam posts & registrations my Forum had once attracted...

So... Thanx again ANTIALIASIS - I had installed NoSpam on 3.6 series and it was absolutely fabulous. It's a pleasure to install again on 3.7 so thanx for sharing! Wonderful modification!

Jacquii.
