Security Question

[reverendlisa]

I am having severe trouble with spam coming through my "contact" page and also through the "wedding application" page of my website.

The best I can tell is they are using a computer program that fills in the blanks with a character or letter and then attaching the spam as links in the comment section.

MY question.... I am wondering if it is possible to use a "secret word", you know the type that can only be seen by the viewer? One that has to be entered prior to submitting?

Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about?

Hi Lisa,
you're talking about "captcha", I think?
You can find the icon in the long tool bar at the top of a BV page - it's the 1 before the last on the right: "abl" with a check through it
Hope that helps,
david

Re: Security Question

Thank you for your reply, I did find it ! Is there anything special I need to do to activate it? Or does it just do its thing once installed?

Re: Security Question

The CAPTCHA tool featured in Blue Voda will provide the level of security that will suffice for nearly any application, but if you wish to have a universal "secret word" access you will need to develop a password protected Directory instead, as that single-entry security function is not part of the random filtering of CAPTCHA.

Once CAPTCHA is installed properly, it will run automatically and perform optimally.
