I've been reading some pretty discouraging stories about forms becoming spam gateways. Apparently it gets so bad at times that site owners have had to abandon domains. I know there are some tricks to dealing with spambots, like using security images. I'm pretty sure there's a joomla component out there that does just that, but can I use it with ChronoForms?

I'm also up for any additional suggestions that might help me keep my form from falling into the pit of spam gateways.

Also, sort of off-topic. Is it possible to use ChronoForms with other form processors, like FormMail.php?

Thanks

Hi,

ChronoForms doesnt support captcha now although I saw some guys included a captcha in their forms but Iam not sure how they made this approach (I didnt even think at this yet) but I think I will include an easy way for this in the next versions of ChronoForms, dont know when exactly.

If you know how chronoforms work (HTML + PHP) then you can try get the code from those processors and use it inside chronoforms.

Cheers,

Hi,

I am actually using Chronoforms for registration on a bulletin board site, to prevent unwanted registrations. The thing is that humans still fill out the form (at least spambots can't).

What i need is something like a different email subject depending on if a field is answered. Something like that. Then I could filter my emails and just throw away the ones that humans filled out but did not answer in a field.

Any ideas for this? It is probably simple but I'm not a programmer, and you are! The Best!

thanks!
