1. Hi, this works for international traffic too?

2. Can I edit the template to translate the line:
"In order to verify that you are a human and not a spam bot, please enter the answer into the following box below based on the instructions contained in the graphic"
into my own language?

Currently, our advertising partners are only targeting US traffic. Non-US user will see our security creatives.

You can absolutely make any changes you wish to the template. The default instructions are simply what some of our vBulletin-based publisher partners has suggested in the past.

The code was willing,
It considered your request,
But the chips were weak.

I installed this, and now my registrations have doubled since installing... I went from using a challenge question (a stupidly easy one) to this, and now I'm getting all sorts of bogus bot registrations. Anyone else noticing this?
