    Hi All

    I've got a joomla site which is integrated with a PHP forum. Lately the amount of spam posts in the forum is getting out of control. Is there anyway I can boost the security on the user registration? I have installed Catchpa (i think that's the right spelling), but this still isn't stopping the spam registrations.

    Any other suggestions?

    Install a form with elements invisible to people but visible to bots. Rig it to where if a bot uses it ( for spam of course ), it gets discarded or ignored.

    I wouldn't let people autopost there comments or posts. I would set it to have the admin approve first.
