Hi,

Thought you might be interested in the following websites, our forum was getting overloaded by spam and I did these and am now (touch wood) getting none. These are for phpbb but they may work on this forum also:

Thanks -- they look useful. At the moment we hardly get any spam on the forums, thankfully, but you never know when things could change!
