Oh well that ends that, your server is down!

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.solvemedia.com

Google Chrome cannot reach the website. This is typically caused by network issues, but can also be the result of a misconfigured firewall or proxy server.

Okay server is working now, but can't select Solvemedia because its not there, running 4.1.2

5. Open the "Human Verification Manager" menu under the "vBulletin Options" panel ("Settings" panel in v4.0)
6. Select "SolveMedia" and save

Since our advertising inventory is constantly changing, there is no guarantee that a formula company will not work with us in the future.

Formula companies are the people who sell baby milk. You should have some sort of filter in place realistically.

Nice mod though.

We closely monitor all of our servers and we did not experience downtime at any point yesterday.

Ok, here we go.

Intsalled

Signed up at www.solvemedia.com / http://portal.solvemedia.com

I picked diferent categories that applies to my site.

Now the question: Why the product only showes puzzles with simple text?, I mean, not images nor "Enter quote words" or something like solve media examples.
Everything is configured (API keys, AdminCP->Human verification-> Solvemedia)

By default at solvemedia portal says: "I prefer revenue", instead "I prefer security", do I have to change something there or whats going on?.

Regards

Dood. Does it work? Seriously, I made nada from my previous CAPTCHA, and likely won't make much from this one (from the posts I've seen here), but it will still be more than nothing and from a CAPTCHA that appears to actually work. I have the 3.8 system installed and so far it appears to work very well as CAPTCHA.

Could you tell me please what does eCPM mean?
And why it goes down when my Solved type ins go up???

Example.

When installed it said:

Solved: 120
eCPM: 0.45
Revenue: 0.15
Impressions: 180

and now it says

Solved: 180
eCPM: 0.25 <<<
Revenue: 0.15
Impressions: 593

Thanks.

Some of our revenue-bearing creatives may look like standard CAPTCHA puzzles. It is also possible that you have triggered our fraud system, or your site's category does not fall into any of our advertisers' targets, or that you don't fall into any of our advertisers' demographic targets.

eCPM stands for "effective Cost Per Mille". In the publisher context, it is your current revenue rate per 1000 puzzle impressions.
