You appear to be suggesting that Captcha has failed in some cases -- have you seen that? Whilst I agree it's certainly theoretically (and been proven in a lab) possible to defeat the captcha, I've not seen it in practice.

This is simply a remotely serviced captcha -- not so very different in practice from what we have, albeit a little more sophisticated in the captcha level, and offering an audible representation of the captcha. So if you need those features, then it's a good service -- I've seen it on numerous sites. Here's the PHP implementation: http://recaptcha.net/plugins/php/ Looks very simple. I may take a look at it in a week or so, if no one has expressed a more immediate desire to implement it. ~ ~ Dave _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
