Simply use the text captcha option. You can even create your own question/answer sets by editing the "lib/text-captcha.php" file. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/have-you-considered-implementing-the-new-are-you-a-human-captchas#post-20180 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 07:36:51 +0000 morktron 20180@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi, I used to used the standard Joomla contact form but have just moved another client over to Machforms. I used to use 'Are you human' since 99% humans hate using recaptcha.</p> <p>Surely though it would be easy to implement another alternative like most forms do these days. Such as random simple questions like:</p> <p>'what is the colour of grass?'<br /> 'what is 2 plus 2?' </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/have-you-considered-implementing-the-new-are-you-a-human-captchas#post-17073 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 01:04:15 +0000 sitesme 17073@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I didn't see that option (I'm new here) but still... this sounds an easier and better looking captcha alternative: <a href="http://d.pr/i/LPvE/3kWx57Ny" rel="nofollow">http://d.pr/i/LPvE/3kWx57Ny</a> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/have-you-considered-implementing-the-new-are-you-a-human-captchas#post-17071 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 23:42:01 +0000 zforray 17071@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>You already have 3-Spam Protection options. Under "Form Properties", click on the "show more options" then scroll down to "Protection and Limit". There under "Turn on spam protection (CAPTCHA)" you can choose "Simple Text" which asks simple questions like "how much is..." </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/have-you-considered-implementing-the-new-are-you-a-human-captchas#post-17062 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:56:05 +0000 nicklap 17062@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>sitesme - There are different Captcha alternatives within Machform.

Thank you for letting us know Leslie! I didn't know this was exist.</p> <p>We need to check it further though, particularly regarding the customization options. From what I see so far, the customizations seems only available on their paid plan ($19/month or $79/month). </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/have-you-considered-implementing-the-new-are-you-a-human-captchas#post-16634 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 06:16:54 +0000 williamansley 16634@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>@jimelsmore: Thanks, but we are aware of the CAPTCHA feature in Machform. What we are asking for is an additional *kind* of CAPTCHA, described at the website below.</p> <p><a href="http://areyouahuman.com" rel="nofollow">http://areyouahuman.com</a></p> <p>It requires the user to play a short game, rather than relying on distorted text, which is supposed to be very secure and much less frustrating to the users of the form. We are asking if Appnitro will add this as a built-in CAPTCHA alternative. I'm sure it can be added by custom coding, but many people don't have the time or resources to do that, not to mention the fact that any customizations are likely to break if you ever want to upgrade Machform. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/have-you-considered-implementing-the-new-are-you-a-human-captchas#post-16633 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 03:43:29 +0000 jimelsmore 16633@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Just found out that this feature does exist. When you are editing a form click on "Form Properties" then click "Show more options" The CAPTCHA option is under "Protection &#38; Limit" </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/have-you-considered-implementing-the-new-are-you-a-human-captchas#post-16622 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:15:18 +0000 jimelsmore 16622@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Yes please implement this feature. Maybe have a setting that allows you to submit 1 or 2 forms from the same IP address until CAPTCHA is required. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/have-you-considered-implementing-the-new-are-you-a-human-captchas#post-16620 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 05:56:40 +0000 williamansley 16620@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>This does look as if it would be a nice option to have. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/have-you-considered-implementing-the-new-are-you-a-human-captchas#post-16615 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 20:37:43 +0000 quintessentquirk 16615@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>In the interest of improving your product, have you considered implementing a new captcha called playthru" by "are you a human"?</p> <p><a href="http://areyouahuman.com" rel="nofollow">http://areyouahuman.com</a></p> <p>I seem to be getting better conversions (comments) where it is implemented on my blog... I've also noticed more people signing up to my forum.
