Q&A CAPTCHA: Random questions

Post by charafweb »

Hello everybody,
I suggest to improve the Q&A CAPTCHA by adding the possibilty to create not just one question, but as many as Admin wants, and those question will be shown randomly (The verification question will change everytime).
I think also that would be better if there is the possibility to combine this plugin with an other one (for instance reCAPTCHA), because now we have to choose just one from the spambot countermeasures.
Thanks
(I hope you understand my poor english)

You can already create multiple questions to be randomly displayed for Q&A. As for allowing multiple captchas, I do not think that should be a core feature. If I had to fill out multiple captchas I would probably not use the website.
I do custom MODs. PM for a quote!

How that? I create 2 questions, I keep refreshing the registration page, only the first question keep showing. Or do I have to install a specific MOD?

Yeah, I can agree with you, but the user will have to pass this multiple verification ( duo captchas: A question + reCAPTCHA) just once (at registration).

Thanks

Here, it's said:
You only need one question. If you think the bots have figured it out you can just change it to another.
What I understand from that is there's no way to create many questions, or I'm wrong?

need one question, does not mean that you cannot have more.
Also, you get only one question per session. Reloading the page won't reset the session so you won't get another question.

You can sort of do that, too. Use one CAPTCHA plug-in and combine it with Required Custom Profile Fields.

However, further discussion of that is probably best done on phpbb.com.
