I am successfully using captcha on my Contour forms for some time now, but had a client ask today if it's possible to swith to a different type of captcha something similar to this...
I have no idea if this is possible, so I thought I would reach out to the community to see if anyone has done anything like this?
I think you should be able to do that using a standard Textfield and a Regex validation - the answer must be 15, so a regex like this: ^\s*15\s*$ should do it...
Of course, the field must be Mandatory, and you put the "question" in the Caption...
Just try it and see how long it takes for spammers to "crack" it. I've done this (albeit no with Contour, but same simple approach) to more than a few sites already, and they all went from ~30+ spam posts a day to none. And I've not had to change the "security question" yet :-)
That said, it's very easy to change from within Contour - you just need to update the Caption and the RegEx.

Hi Roger,

Let me know if it works,

@Chriztian Steinmeier, How change it when viewers post each forms?
@Sun: I don't change it :-)
