We shouldn't have to re-install our captcha system after every upgrade. So instead of getting an increase in security, I experienced a degradation of security resulting in multiple spam accounts after upgrading to 2.5.6 from 2.5.5.

There isn't even an option to turn it on or off any longer in preferences.

There are other posts regarding this that point to another site in Italian. I dont speak Italian and I come here because this is supposed to be the place to go w/questions and help requests.

Searching locally here all I can find are links to the Italian site and Wishcrafts crazy nonsense..

Am I missing something?

I could use a little assistance please.

PS: These keyword popups are annoying as hell.
They block buttons and content.
I normally avoid sites with that sort of thing installed as do many others.

Update: I've restored my recaptcha. And now I find those damned annoying popups on my site. WTH?

Where do I turn that garbage off?

The math question is gone now as well. I'd like to use it in addition to the recaptcha.
Possibly on the complimentary reg page. Any chance of making that happen?

My apologies.. Having a bad Monday. The annoying keyword popups appear to be a "feature?" of the Chrome browser. Google gets my wrath now....

The only issue left is how to re-install the math question to the complimentary info page.

Go to:

/class/captcha/config.php

and make sure that you have:

'disabled' => false,  // Disable CAPTCHA
'mode' => 'text',  // default mode, you can choose 'text', 'image', 'recaptcha'(requires api key)
