Hi Barnea,

If your captcha is setup correctly then the spam may be coming from humans, you may switch it to a "Security question".

But let's first make sure you have the captcha correctly setup, did you test it yourself ? try once with a correct code and another with a wrong one ?

yes, i checked and the form cant be sent without captcha correctly filled up,

How to add security question ?
I added to the form design but I dont understand how it works

thanks

Hi Barnea,

The Security Question is pretty much exactly the same as the Captcha set up. Add the Security Question Input element from the Advanced Elements Group to your form Preview tab and the Load ans Check Security Question actions to the form On Load and On Submit events.

hi Bob,
Yes found it but can it support UTF8 - other languages ?
I added few questions and answers but Its not loading, should it be loaded randomly ?
how can i test it ?

thanks

Hi Barnea,

UTF-8 - I expect so, but I haven't tried.

What have you actually added? Have you put the Event Loop in pink On Fail event of the Check Security Question action?

hi Bob
yes i did add the event loop

question=answer
I put for example

כמה זה ארבע ועוד ארבע=8

writen here 4+4=8 in words

question doesnt show
but the right answer is the only one that sends the form

if i put
4+4=8
3+3=6

should i expect to have a different question each form load ?
Max_admin 14 May, 2014
Yes, you should have a different question loaded each time!

Why do you need to translate the question if its just a math operation like "4+4" ?

Hi Barnea,

Max has spotted the problem: your questions need to have the answer to the right of the = sign. That may not be possible with a RTL script :-(
