Hi

Thanks for the feedback. I have now updated the guestbook and that was quick and painoess. I hope that this can reduce the spam a little

Hi

I get a lot of spam in my guestbook today (see http://www.gardkarlsen.com/guestbook1 ) and it takes a bit of work to keep in clean. I run on version 2.3.3 today and I see that version 2.4.2 offers "human verification". I would like to upgrade but I don't really have any experience with that. I have downloaded the new version and I'm wondering if it is just a matter of uploading this to my website. I understand that I have to adjust the settings in config.inc.php but will I have to make adjustments to other files? What about the database? Do I have to make changes to that to?

What is your experience from version 2.4.2? Does it prevent spamming?

Regards

Hi

My guestbook has been up and running for about 6 months now but one day it looked rather strange (you can see it on http://www.gardkarlsen.com/guestbook/). My web hosts tells me that this is a result of hacking and that I have to create a new guestbook. Is it possible to fix this in any way? Is there anything I can do in the future to prevent stuff like this happening again?
