FunCaptcha v2

The biggest update to FunCaptcha yet has begun its official rollout!

For a detailed look at the ongoing updates, feel free to follow our blog as we'll be updating it as new features are activated, going in-depth with what's changing, why and how each area is seeing improvement.

Description

Spammers abuse your site, but users hate typing out twisty letters or ad phrases (aka CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA). Automated spam filters make mistakes and require constant checking. FunCaptcha presents a mini-game that blocks the bots while giving your users a few moments of fun. It's a real security solution hardened by experts and automatically updated to provide the best protection. It has been installed on thousands of sites, to glowing reviews. Try a demo on our site!

Users complete these little games faster than other CAPTCHAs, with fewer frustrating failures and no typing. They work on all browsers and mobile devices, using HTML5 with a fallback to Flash. Visually impaired users can complete an audio challenge. For a limited time, FunCaptcha can be customized for your site, using its color scheme, images, and logo. See this special offer for details.

Installation

Patch notes:
1.2.1
? Toggle JavaScript fallback on/off (disabled by default for security reasons). We recommend it disabled as bots generally browse with JavaScript disabled.
1.2.0
? Color themes. You can now change the look of FunCaptcha!
? Support for versions of PHP without JSON or CURL.
? Proxy server support.
1.1.0
? Lightbox mode. This exposes a new display mode for FunCaptcha, it will make FunCaptcha appear when your user hits submit, rather than inline in the form.
1.0.0
? First release.

Thanks for taking the time to share this. It is kinda cool, but to be honest, it would annoy the heck out of me to use that in order to register to a site. But I could see the potential of it though.

Thanks for trying it Krusty!

Ya Ozzy, having no CAPTCHA is better than having even the best one. But they are sadly necessary thanks to bots, which don't want us to have nice things. At least you only have to do it once as you reg, and it takes about 10 seconds.

I was going to say the same thing, personally I hate them, I would never use anything like this.

You'll see this error when you have not correctly added your public and private keys in the settings screen.

In your vBulletin Administrator Control Panel, click on ?Settings? in the sidebar on the left. Then click ?Human Verification Manager?.

Then you'll need to scroll down to the form at the bottom, called "FunCaptcha Registration". Enter your details there, and you'll end up with a screen that has the public and private keys you need to copy into the settings just above the form.

Once you've done that, it should work great. If you need further help, please reach out to us at info@funcaptcha.co and we'll be able to look at your account details and see if something else is going on.
