My point wasn't that it took a short amount of time to implement, but rather if it doesn't work for someone, they haven't really lost anything and can move onto the more "complicated" (to the website user) solution. recaptcha.net is definitely an interesting captcha method and I love that it helps digitize books. I may put it into use sometime. The image captcha method still has the drawbacks of being harder to read than plain text and not as accessible, though. recaptcha.net also comes with the added drawback of relying on 3rd party servers for the captcha to work along with any possible downtime and delays that come with them. (Feel free to let me know if I'm wrong here or if there is a way to use recaptcha.net without the 3rd party servers.) I just prefer the minimum amount of interference to users on all websites. Clearly for huge websites that demands an image/audio captcha, but often I find they are overkill and just hinder normal users. -- Josh _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [email protected] http://mail.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
