Hi
I am getting so many spam registrations at the moment. Anyone know any way to combat this easily.
Is it easy to add captcha to the core login/registration forms?
Not strictly a RT template issue I know but thought someone might be ale to help.

- You're going to get slammed without using capcha. Have a look through a few of these extensions and I think you'll find it easy and free. extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/captcha

Hi
I have tried out a recaptcha component for the registration form:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-...curity/captcha/11804
Despite trying a couple of different versions of the component from the developer, I can;t get the recaptcha images to show at:

can anyone help?
cheers

Sorry I can't be of more assistance here. Did a little digging around the JED and it APPEARS that there may be a plugin required for the default registration with Recaptcha that was discontinued with Joomla 1.5 as it wasn't native.
There's one listed there now that says that he requires a "small fee" but if it were me I'd check out this one. extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-.../authentication/7727 (looks free, works with the default registration and has great reviews)
I'm using Recaptcha myself but with the Jomsocail registration and it's been great. Have a look if noone else chimes in and be sure to let us know how you do.

Hi Duval
thanks for the update.
Just tried another template and the recaptcha works fine so somehting in the solarsentinel template is causing the conflict.
This is not the first conflict I have had with this template and unless anyone can figure out how to overcome this, I guess I will have to try another template. Might be the best option in the long run.
I'll check out the extension you suggested anyway,
Cheers

Sorry again, not to be of more help, but I can tell you that I'm using RECaptcha with this template with no issues. It'd be a shame to change templates because of this as your site looks great and I'm sure there's a lot of work in there.
There are other captcha's in the JED and personally, I'd try at least a few before thinking about switching templates. I've used Big O Captcha for contact forms before and found it simple and straightforward, just not with the registrations.
Good luck and keep plugging! (that's not to intend a top-water plug... I'm a fisherman too)
