For 18 years NEAT NET TRICKS newsletters carried with them the slogan "No Screwdriver Needed," meaning their focus was on the entertaining and easy things one can do with the computer and Internet without being a technical whiz. Publication ended December 31, 2014, but this free Forum continues as long as there is an interest and need to communicate questions and concerns regarding the Internet and computers.

I noticed while signing in that NNT now has a new Captcha. Is this supplied by ProBoards or is it your own?

Reason for question: Just as the original NNT was killed by spambots, I am having similar problems with my own website. I am using a Q&A Captcha and trying to phrase it as a Turing test, but about 20 spambots are breaking in every day. Does your new answer work, where do you get it, and what does it cost?

What you don't know won't hurt you as much as what you do know that ain't so.

I can't speak for others, but I haven't seen the CAPTCHA you refer to for this forum. I think this should only be in use for first-time registrations on the forum, but I may be wrong. Can you post a screenprint of what you are seeing and I will try to get an answer from Proboards?
