Need new field in registration page
How do I add a field in the registration page? I want to add my own security question. One question, one required correct answer. Any ideas? I'm running 3.0.2. Thanks!

Re: Need new field in registration page
Thanks for the reply. Would using that method not result in showing the answer to the question in each user's profile? I would like this to be a simple question like "What is bigger, a dog or an elephant", and if answered correctly then they can move on. I don't want to store the info with their profile.

Re: Need new field in registration page
Thanks, I guess that will do for now until I figure out out a clean way to add a real security question field. I wonder why a customizable security question isn't a standard field in phpBB3? It certainly stopped spammers in my older boards!

I have stopped my spammers (for now) using two custom profile fields as suggested but I am on 3.0.4

The field I set up last night has stopped the spammers completely. I was getting about 15 per day and now there are none since last night. I would still like to figure out how to insert a real security question rather than a profile field though.
