    Hi,

    When you have a link DB, or a artical submission page, some people have a random letters and numbers picture you have to enter to verify that it's a human posting rather than a bot, can someone recommend a place to get this from (coldfusion if possible).

    I ask as I don't actually know what it's called :rolleyes:

    JP

    :)

    Proper term is a CAPTCHA, an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha

    A search for captcha will only bring you junk about it's definition, a search for image verification script will get what he needs...
