Yes, I think it`s bad luck...

Hye !!!

This post haven't been resolved and I've the same pb : I receive some 10 spam / day in my photo Guest Book.
I've found the tuto in this forum to activate Captcha : Go to Admin / "your" menu / "Your" Guestbook / Parameters (component) / Activate Captcha > (standard) !

But :
1. There is NO Option "Activate Captcha" => I think the post was talking about the nearly same "Enable Captcha" in which you can choose 7 options (Standart, Math, Ttf or Randoms...).
2. I have tested ALL options and NO CAPTCHA appears in my Website'Guestbook [/list]

To check just go on : http://www.encas-danse.fr/index.php/livre-dor

Hope to find a solution quickly. My Guestbook is so spammed !!! Thanks for help !

Kind regards,

This is it !!!

Thanks for this last answer : I'ven't seen that you could choose your local parameters in each menu. That's the end of my problem.
