Any alternative options for Captchas?

Hi

 

Has anyone toyed around with captchas that look better. I can never get the box to the right of the graphics, so it always looks unfinished and unkept.

 

Solutions?

    You can style it up quite a bit Joel but it is what it is.

    There is currently no other option as every implementation always needs a server side element.

    The captcha is pretty much foobard and bypassed now by spammers so I know the BC guys are looking at improving things.

    Hello Joel Media Group,

    You can change the color of the captcha to match your design better using the available parameters:

     

    {module_captchav2,[background color],[text color],[width in pixels]}

     

    To get the input box on the right of the image you could float the image div.captchaimg and the input#CaptchaV2 left:

     

    input#CaptchaV2{

    1.     width: 160px;
    2.     float: right;
    3.     margin: 5px 0 0;

    }

    div.captchaimg{

        float: left;

    1.     width: 170px;

    }

    Hope this helps,

    Depends on how you have your site built, if you have your own CSS stylesheet, in there.
