I can't remember if I had seen a addon for using captcha on the registration page or not.

did a search and came up with nothing.

are there ant threads on here about using captcha in the reg process, or is it something i will have to add on my own.

getting a little tired of the morons registering with auto-reg software, and when i check ip's they always come back to fresh apache install pages.

would like to add captch to try to slow them down just a little bit.

thank you,

The only problem could possibly arrive, if more than one new user registers at more or less the same time and the second user overwrites the "valid" image-code of the first user before he has endet his registration. Then, he would receive a "not valid" Reply and would have to redo his registration. I don't know but I imagine that this could be possible, since the routine only creates 1 Security image at one time. Whenever this image is overwritten, the given value to the (older) registrant would be void. ...I guess..?!

Anyway, it's better than nothing.

I put the image check code right here:

sub procreg {

#-#### Security Code
$form{'SECCODE'} = uc($form{'SECCODE'});
&oops('Sever Security Verification File Failed To Be Created.') unless (open SECTEMPFILE, "$config{'basepath'}Temp");
my $secfile = <SECTEMPFILE>;
close SECTEMPFILE;
&oops('Security Verification Error. Return to the Verification Page and refresh it to generate a new Security Code.') unless (($secfile) == ($form{'SECCODE'}));
unlink("$config{'basepath'}Temp");
#-#### END Security Code

...
...
...

Do not use this above code-sample, it's only for information and it probably don't match with the original as enclosed in the txt-file.

Good Luck

Homer

PS: Others, PLEASE do not play around with any ACTIVE Auction Script.

Thank you Homer. Much appreciated.
