As you may have noticed, we now have a flexible security system in place that makes it even quicker and easier for real humans to solve while still blocking the spambots. ?? You don’t need to do anything to take advantage of this upgrade. The FAQ has more info.

Thanks Legend!

Thanks a lot for your review, jackrap! We’ve done a lot to improve it further since you posted so we hope you’re still loving it. ??

Thanks so much for your review, Kevin! And thanks for emailing us with your feedback earlier. It really is appreciated. Let us know any other ideas you have.

Thanks very much for your review, Steven! Please let us know about any ideas, feedback, or problems you have.

Hello timothly,

It certainly works with both Buddypress and Askimet, we have many sites with both of those plugins. I’ve also now tried with bbPress and those two and that also works for me.

What version of WordPress are you running?

I have a feeling it may be server related or configuration elated potentially.

The best way to work it out would be if you could enable debugging, and see what error (if any) appears when you hit save settings, instructions on that are at this link: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Debugging_in_WordPress

It may also help to try updating to our latest version of the plugin, we made changes to how settings work in that.

Let me know and I’ll do my best to hunt this down and solve it!

Thanks
Kevin

Hello prthnon,

I’m Kevin – the developer behind FunCaptcha.

First, thank you for your report – It really helps us improve our plugin and services across the board and we certainly welcome all feedback.

I’ve looked up your domain in our logs and have visited it (on your forgot password form) – I’m getting super fast load speeds (3 seconds to fully load the FunCaptcha). I’m using ADSL2, it would be great to know what connection speed you are using and if you are consistently seeing slow speedswhen trying FunCaptcha (You can try it on our website swipeads.co as well). FunCaptcha is a magnitude less then a standard webpage download, so you should not be seeing slow download speeds.

We are not currently experiencing any technical difficulties with our servers, and have tested it globally and our download speeds seem all normal as we would expect.

Regarding the user seeing an error – this message is visible only while the FunCaptcha cannot connect to our verification server, which happens if there are no keys entered into the plugin, or they are incorrect. We can see you have resolved this issue. It will never appear again since FunCaptcha is now setup correctly. We might change this so that until keys are entered in future, the CAPTCHA is disabled, which would make it not appear until the keys are entered – do you think this would have made your experience better?

Regarding the number of challenges, this number is a security measure to prevent bots and spammers cracking the CAPTCHA and accessing your forms, FunCaptcha prides itself on being highly secure. This weekend we will be launching a new automatic security option that you can choose, which will have lower challenge turns if we believe the user is legitimate (and not a bot), and will scale up if we suspect the user a spammer/bot.

If would be great to know how long it takes you to open your home-page normally as well, as that might be an indicator of if our server is slow or potentially your connection. Your page loads in a few seconds for me as a benchmark.

If you’d like to share these details privately with us rather than post them here, please send them to me support(at)swipeads.co and I’ll take a look at all the details and see what we can do for you.

Kind regards
Kevin

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear you’ve had trouble with the plugin. Your issue is an unusual one– we’ve not heard feedback so far about it taking long to load. We track statistics on the server and find that nearly all load times are less than 10 seconds. So something might be unusual about your configuration, or connection to our server.

I hope to convince you to change your rating by fixing your problem. I’ve alerted the tech guru about your problem and he will look into it right away. He will ask a few questions about your configuration.

If possible, please enable FunCaptcha on a page where your users will not be impacted so we can see it in action. Let us know a link to that page and we will look at it right away.

Kind regards,
Matt
SwipeAds designer

Hello chadolson6913,

I’m the developer behind a new type of CAPTCHA called FunCaptcha, we’re a really quick and easy CAPTCHA to solve, and considerably more secure than other types of interactive CAPTCHAs. Not to mention we’re considerably more fun, with a few different types of CAPTCHAs to solve and more coming soon. ??

Not to mention much easier and faster to get up and running!

Just go to your plugin dashboard, click add new, search for “FunCaptcha” and install, and it’ll guide you through the rest of the process. You can register and activate FunCaptcha directly from WordPress without the need to go signup elsewhere, etc like other CAPTCHAs.

If you need any help at all just let me know!

It’s great to hear you are enjoying it! We’re always expanding and improving the product so keep an eye out. You won’t necessarily have to update the plugin to get the benefits, but the plugin page is a good place to keep track of what we are up to.

Cheers,
The SwipeAds team

Hi timothly,

When redirected you should be presented with the same form with everything filled out. We have many active sites using our plugin, so it could be some sort of conflict. (like this)

Could you please let me know what theme and WordPress version you are using, I’ll test the combo out and get back to you ASAP.

Thanks
Kevin
