I'm embarrassed to say that this was mistaken. In re-examining the registration process on my site I realized, belatedly, that it had reverted to the standard XOOPS captcha. The config.php and xoopscaptcha.php files had been written over, presumably when I upgraded to the latest XOOPS version. At the time I did not think to test the registration process. So, my note of alarm can be ignored.

I think it would be good to remind people using recaptcha to update those files when upgrading, perhaps with a note in the readme. I would favor using recaptcha as the XOOPS standard but that won't solve the over-write problem, as the correct keys would have to be entered.

I would assume that those files would not be included in an upgrade package unless they were changed.

Anyway, sorry for the false alarm. I thought I should correct the record.

Well, the answer is no, I hadn't checked whether the xforms captcha actually worked. The reason is that the xforms captcha doesn't appear on my forms because the forms cannot be seen unless the user is logged on in a particular group. My site uses reCaptcha since it has become apparent that the simple XOOPS captcha has been cracked. Unfortunately reCaptcha does not appear to completely prevent spurious registrations either. See here

Having said all that, I just accessed an xforms form on my test server without logging on (after making that form accessible to anon). I submitted the form without filling in the xforms recaptcha and it was accepted, sending me the email for that test form. So, the xforms captcha does not work. Dylian, I hope you see this and can fix it. I'd suggest incorporating reCaptcha if you can. There is a thread about that here

There were two inter-related threads regarding reCaptcha and spurious registrations, apparently by a robot. reCaptcha does not completely prevent these registrations.

See this thread

For the record, I have seen one more spurious registration with the Google URL since incorporating reCaptcha. It occurred on 12/6/09. It appears that reCaptcha does not completely prevent these registrations. I wonder if the robot is really using OCR to by-pass the code entry or if this one registration simply got lucky and guessed the two words required by reCaptcha, perhaps using a brute force method. Again, I could find that log entry if someone would like to look at it.

I had not implemented the hack suggested by peekay. ghia suggested a change and I'm not sure exactly how to incorporate that. Would one of you post the complete code with that change?

It seems that it must be something peculiar to your system. I downloaded city reflections and installed it on my test site. The columns (table cells) are corectly spaced when I access the forums home page:

see image here

Have you done any modifications to that theme?

I think it must be theme specific. As you know from this thread, I did have the issue with the message icons, and notification options being incorrectly aligned and I had the wide left margin too. I do not see the wide center column for notification options, as you describe. I am using the zen-ocean theme (modified a bit), but I also allow a couple of others to be selected. None show this problem.

You haven't said what theme you are using?

My apologies. From my previous message you will be able to see that I screwed up which files I was looking in. The width: 40% statement was there in both xoopsforum/themeform.php and tableform.php. My excuse is that I have "a bug" today and am not feeling well.

I removed "width: 40%" from both files and things appear to be working correctly.

Simply removing the style="width: 40%" fixes the problem too. I could only find that line of code in xoopsform.php and not in themeform.php.

and maybe

label[name|="xolb"]  {


might also work.


I tried that option first as it seemed the cleanest, but it did not work. So, I ended up with

label[name="xolb_icon"], [name="xolb_dohtml"], [name="xolb_dosmiley"], [name="xolb_doxcode"], [name="xolb_dobr"], [name="xolb_attachsig"], [name="xolb_attachsig"], [name="xolb_notify"] {
margin-left:                        0.5em;
display:                            inline;
}


At first I had a space between label and [name="xolb_icon]. That does not work. There can be no space there, although there can be between the commas and the next iteration of name. I also added a left margin of 0.5em, as you suggested.

Thanks for the help, ghia. This is neater.

Actually, I had to add some selectors in the CSS for the checkboxes that are at the bottom of the form (use html, etc). So, I added multiple selectors, as below. I am putting these in full as there is at least one other person with the same issue.

label[name="xolb_icon"] {
display:inline;
}
label[name="xolb_dohtml"] {
display:inline;
}
label[name="xolb_dosmiley"] {
display:inline;
}
label[name="xolb_doxcode"] {
display:inline;
}
label[name="xolb_dobr"] {
display:inline;
}
label[name="xolb_attachsig"] {
display:inline;
}
label[name="xolb_notify"] {
display:inline;
}


It might be possible to simplify this by enclosing multiple names after name= but I am not sure of that and couldn't find a reference to it online. Perhaps you would comment, ghia?

I notice that there is a hard space inserted after each line for the checkboxes. It might look better if there were, instead, a space between the checkbox and the line of text that follows.
