I changed the registration 'captcha' algorithm. Hopefully it will slow down spammers without making registration too difficult.

Thank you Jeff. I hate it when a great board gets inundated with garbage.

So far we haven't had any spambot registrations since the change...

We won another battle but the war is not over. This is far from the first change I've put in to stop the spammers :roll:

It's only a matter of time before they find a way around this one.
