Default add a step to contact form? ctop spammers and easy to answer questions from noobs

I get a TON of emails every day from people who simply need to fill out a password request form...

And I also get a ton of spam via my contact form.

Is there any way to use captcha or another form of spam repellent before a contact message is sent? And in the same motion, tell people to click the lost password link before harrassing the admin?

Thanks!

I added text above my contactus template informing users that if they email a question ti maybe up to 96 hours for a response.

Then i have them a few useful links, and a link to the problem forum where guests are allowed to post. See the screen shot.

If you want this let me know, and i'll throw together a quick how to of hwo i did it

Add this to your Additional CSS area for your skins. (admincP -> Style Manager -> Main CSS -> All the way at the bottom)

Code:
.contact2 {
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 14px;
	font-weight: bolder;
	font-variant: small-caps;
	background-color: #FFFFCC;
	margin: 8px;
	border: thin dashed #FF0000;
	padding: 5px;
}
Feel free to change the CSS properties to anything you wish.

Next Contact Us Template ( AdminCP -> Style manager -> contactus template)

find
Code:
<if condition="$navbar">$navbar<else /><br /><br /></if>
add bewlow
Code:
<div class="contact2">Your text to appear here
</div>

Thanks for that.


I'd still like to see some sort of captcha before the user is allowed to send an email, because I have already gotten 4 of these today:

Yes Thank you, I had the same problem, I had the image thing but not set to verify, is that how spammers are getting into our forums?

I have the image link when you sign up a new user but does it verify it?
