What are your questions?

 

[Venom]

well:

"if x is 10 and y is twice of x what is y?"

"whats the latest cod game?"

"what color is the sky?"

"10 - 8 = ?"
.

 

[pandaa]

What site is this for? Those are decent questions, except for the last one, but when I go to register on Xnero, I don't see any Q&A's... :O

its a gaming forum.

I don't even see a captcha at all. I see a box to enter a confirmation code, but no code is displayed. After viewing your page source, you are missing some code to actually display the captcha.

Also, I would recommend you download and install KeyCAPTCHA. It has not and most likely will never be broken by the bots so it is really secure. I use it on my forum host and there are almost no spam bots. Of course the humans will still get through because the can assemble the picture, but the bots will be stopped.

Also, I would recommend you download and install KeyCAPTCHA

And I wouldn't enrisk my reputation by advising the ways of exposing the site's visitor computers to sneaky untraceable services like KeyCAPTCHA through installing their plugin

You are using an outdated style by the looks of it. The style you are using is made for phpBB 3.0.4 ---> http://xnerogaming.com/styles/BlackSmoke/style.cfg

Q & A was added to phpBB 3.0.6 as part of a the CAPTCHA plugin system introduced in that release. Because of this, your style doesn't support the CAPTCHA plugins like th Q & A.

You need to either update your style manually or download an updated version of that style (if possible) or use a newer style.

ah ok thanks. i really like that style, but cant get a newer version, So i guess ill have to manually update it.
