CB Captcha 2.2.2 - does it work? was created by booman
I never did get earlier versions to show up and resorted to using Passphrase. I dont know how well it works either because we still get a constant stream of false registrations, a few every day. We're getting better at cleaning them out but I would really like a solution.

So, does CB Captcha 2.2.2 actually work at stopping these registrations and does the image show up for everyone? I would like to know before I spend money on renewing my subscription.

Thanks
Hans

In all our test environments and live environments yes CB Captcha 2.2.2 works assuming GD and FreeType are properly configured on your webserver (generally low budget or even free hosting has this done). It's not an end all be able to stopping spam however; we still receive spam on a daily basis as no Captcha will stop a human spammer. It should however certainly stop nearly all if not all automatic spammers.

I have had some time to get around to updates on our site and I now have Joomla! 1.5.17 Stable, CB 1.2.2 & CBSubs_103. Everything working fine both locally on a Wampserver, and live. I just installed CB Captcha - 2.2 plugin on the local and remote server. It works fine locally but still no image appears on the remote/live server.

On both servers appear to have...
Plugin Prerequisites
Captcha Requirements: GD: bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
Freetype: enabled

Any advice on what I could try now?

Thanks
Hans
