I get thousands (several thousand) posts in various languages whenever I create a category or post a message. I have noticed that many websites have a graphic to interpret as text in order to assure that a real person and not a machine is registering or positing. How do I find and install this capability? My forum is here:

Thank you for your help.

faviouz,

Thank you for these links. I downloaded hidenewbsigs.php and I assume I am to upload the file as it is to my /formus/ directory in my hosting service at godaddy.com. Is that right? If so, I will install them all.

Also, just out of curiosity, will any of the files you recommend I install produce the graphic hurdle that I described? It seems like a well-known, nice-looking and professional-looking feature. If not, is there a further service I can go to?

Thank you for your help.

I followed this link and discovered a number of files recommended. One of these was No_Links_Allowed_0.4.zip and I was eventually able to download it (lots of requirements). Now I have it.

The installation instructions are as follows:

----------
"Simply upload the plugin file: no_links.php in ./inc/plugins/ folder and activate the plugin via ACP > Plugin Manager."
----------

Another site I was sent to referred to a folder I am supposed to have from which AP draws plugins. There is a whole schema here that I have no clue about.

Thank you for your help.
