Looks like the spam bots can decode the captcha in ipb2.2 now as well, pitty it has been good for a while, now it's back to pruning topics :(

Does anyone have a good captcha modification (which doesn't need truetype font processing) to replace the standard captcha with?

We found an issue with 2.2's captcha which is addressed in 2.3.

cool, any chance you could share the modification of the changed captcha code before the 2.3 release? :)

1) I don't have the changes available off hand

2) If we let it out what it is exactly, it will probably open up the spamming a bit more than it is now, which we'd like to avoid.

I've still found adding a Custom field asking the new user to type in a number that matches the word above the most affective, I've not had a single spambot signup since I added that, when I was getting 2-3 a week previously.

Yes, you did and it's been a big help. :thumbsup:

I allow guest posts as well, so having an extra registration field doesn't help :)
