vava Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I like guestbooks hosted outside of my host server and so far I have not found one with good spam control.Any ideas guys? Hey there Armat - I've used a couple of guestbooks in the past, but ended up shutting them down due to spam. These days, for spam control, you may wish to use a guest book that enables image verification to distinguish between spam bots & real humans (called a CAPTCHA). I don't know off-hand if any exist, but I'm certain you can find a service that will couple a CAPTHCA with your guestbook input form. See the wiki article and examples of CAPTCHA's here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha Nice to see you're back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent 5 hrs last night trying to install Wordpress on my server and after all the frustration of changing code,new database PHP files etc.I end up deleting it because wordpress is a blog not a guestbook. Anyway I hope you are doing fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahak Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Here is what I found! Guestbook with Captcha free with decent looking not annoying adds but this could change later since I just signed up. Here is the example gegam guestbook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
