Can I ask why previously free captcha functionality (via Google/CB Captcha plugin) is now not available without purchasing CB AntiSpam (Google's New Captcha)? I understand that I am using a free version of your product, but I feel that I lost functionality here. Will you consider releasing the New Captcha call as a separate free plugin, without the rest of the CB AntiSpam bundle (which has great value, but not for my simple site)?

And I truly thank the hard work of the CB teams in their efforts and desire to keep the core CB free!! Without it, I could not have the site I have today.

I never said it was integrated, I said there was a plug-in. I always save the install files I use (not the source I got it from, so it could have been created by a third party) which is named: plg_cb_recaptcha_1.1.9 - typically the author of a plug-in will put the name of his company or product into the name of the download file. I made an assumption that this was the case and that cb meant it was produced by Community Builder teams. If you say no one has created a free plug-in from CB, then I must have got this from a third party somewhere. Please accept my apologies for my assumption.

I'm sure there are a ton of Joomla developers, like me, who would appreciate the added security/protection of a single use plug-in like this.

Thank you for your informative and quick reply nant!

I did a search on the file name and discovered it was sourced from an independent author on code.google.com (code.google.com/p/cb-recaptcha/). Again please accept my apologies for assuming it was created by the CB teams!

I had to Install then uninstall CB due to the lack of this simple feature. I understand the desire to charge for this, but I find $45 to be completely unreasonable for what it is.
