Hi, could you please advise if any way to prevent the bots from by-passing the capture in the listing lead forms, I am currently getting 30 -40 span bot messages a week. Thank you Tob
Hey Tob and Inkthemes Team This issue has been around for sometime now and this is about the third or fourth thread about this issue. I have had to turn the leads capture form off because of this issue. Really would appreciate some resolution.. Many thanks.
Thank you Nzcid, I may do that too, I was always getting a few but now it's free for all. Take care Tob
Same here Tob, once they learnt they could do it became an avalance, had no choice but to turn it off and seek a resolution.
Hello, Follow the link given below http://www.inkthemes.com/community/threads/leads-capture-form.5979/#post-22474
Thank you Gourav, I had checked that link previously and that was my thought also, just hard to think some are spending all that time spamming so many manually unless they have some software that will complete the captca or other, but thank you for your thought. One idea which would help and save time having to delete the spam all one at a time would it be possible to add a select all radio button to delete, then if some were genuine they could be unselected and the spam all then deleted with one click, at least this would save work and time, better able to save goodbye spam in one swoop Kind regards Tob
Yes been down that road - these are not humans going around spending enormous amount of time filling these forms in, it s a bot and whoever wrote it has figured a way around your simple captcha on that form. It is possible to bet captcha, there is a whole web dedicated to just that.. If no one is willing to at listen and hear what we are saying as well as not doing anything about it then Lead Capture forms are a dead in the water feauture. I will just leave them turned off.
Hello, We are trying to find better solution regarding this issue. And your suggestions are also welcome.
Greetings Nitesh Appreciated, only thing I can think of is to use a differnet form of captcha or not sure whether a captcha plug-in could be made to work on the form.. Certainly need a way to enhance the security on that form otherwise as I said, it becomes a dead feature because of the fact spam bots are getting into that particular form. I am sure we can come up with something
Should be easy enough to change the code around to accept the reCAPTCHA public and private keys. But this is a must. The captcha that comes with the theme is far too basic.
Hello All, We have improved themes captcha for registration and contact us form. So please go to your members area and download updated theme (v 1.8) (Theme version is not increased). You will get description in the changelog, About files which are added or customized.
