There can be questions about the forum itself, for example - the name of the last poster in Programming-Design section, - the date of the last message in "bla bla bla" thread. - the number of replies in "bla bla bla" thread In this case the server part is very easy one, for any question it's just an sql query (for whatever base the forum uses, mysql, postgresql) and the result of the query is the word the user should enter. The format strings for question can vary and evolve from time to time. I know that this approach will require some skills from the user, but it also can be considered a very basic iq test for membership ;) Max Vlasov
