We use recaptcha software in a number of places around ourlocality.

Signing up for the first time, comments and hiding email addresses.

Why? It helps us keep on top of spam websites and helps you keep on top of spam comments.

We’ve just changed the software that runs the recaptcha, as the old one wasn’t working like we wanted, at least for registrations.

It remains for now on individual sites.

You can use it in your own websites in exactly the same way, but you must remember to chose your own secret keys, if you own a domain name.

Some poor souls caught during the changes will have experienced the odd error and we apologise for any inconvenience that caused.
