Hi All,

This seems to be just the add on I'm looking for, but, and you knew that was coming.

As a relative newcomer to owning a website, I've always been really quite annoyed by reCaptcha becuase I never really understood what its purpose is, until reading the add on install.txt(s)

So in the past I have, quite a number of times, just quitted a contact us because i had to enter a reCaptcha code, which honestly just seemed to be a pointless irritant, my guess is if I've felt that way then so have/will others.

Is it possible to add an explanation of why the reCaptcha is necessary, say

"We've added this function to purely stop automated spam e-mailers, if you go complete the reCaptcha section, we will know that you really did want to contact us and we will deal with your enquiry as soon as is possible"

Hi,

I added the re-captcha element as an option - you dont have to add that part. One of my sites was constantly being hit by automated spam and the recaptcha stopped that in its tracks.

If you want to add an explanation open catalog/includes/languages/english/contact_us.php and change line 48 :

define('ENTRY_SECURITY_CHECK', 'Security Check:');

To read:

define('ENTRY_SECURITY_CHECK', 'Your Text Here');
