#06-04-11 update to beta 0.2
this is now more a hack than a addon but otherwise bots are able
to POST directly to x=save_comments

#06-04-22 update to beta 0.3
no changes on addon itself just merged with new index.php of
version pp 1.5 rc1

#06-08-05 update to v0.4 for pp 1.5 final
adding language support (files for german and englisch included)
adding "changeable-colors feature" to the captcha via additional lines
in pixelpost.php. so it fits better into your template

thx alot chaney

[Puffin]

Thank you! For me this is the only thing that really works. No I am able to upgrade to 1.6

This is THE ONLY way to protect against spam in PixelPost.

I have a problem with this addon. I'm using the default PP 1.6.0 horizon theme and sometimes my visitors cannot leave a comment although they input the right captcha code. I tested this by myself a few times and I'm able to post a comment only after two or three (code) refreshes. Did someone have this issue?
Any help would be appreciated

hi,

i just tried installing captcha, i followed all the steps in the readme-file... but now my homepage is blank? (www.dykesandthecity.com)

any ideas what caused this and what I can do about it?

tnx!

Login to the admin panel and visit your site, it will still be blank but add the following to the end of your URI, ?errors

so, the full URI would look like,

http://www.snapping.dykesandthecity....dex.php?errors


This should tell you what is causing the blank screen.

I just have it installed on my pixelpost blog and it's working fine 4 me...
