How a Bot: To Bot, or Not to Bot

Coydon Wallham wrote:Is the Captcha module intended to require manual intervention from the user to check the box?

It's not a real captcha. It's a simple script that checks whether your browser is.... real. If it figures that out, it would immediately 'solve' itself. If not, you would just have to press that button.

How a Bot: To Bot, or Not to Bot

We DO use a 'captcha' think that works exactly like how you described it, but only for links originating from emails. It's not really a captcha - just something to prevent your email service provider from ruining certain confirmation links for you.

Was that like a white button in the middle of a light brown background, and the button suddenly turns blue?

Does this happen only when you click a link from an email?
