I don't really think it messes up anything, I would have recognized that

Ron,

Thank you for this mod! My YaBB forum has been affected by the recent spamming episodes, so this is just what I needed. (The spamming stopped after requiring a password to be sent to the user, but we continued to get several bogus registrations per day.)

As Carlos mentioned above, I think it's actually better not to use the "password" parameter for the verification input field but to use "text" instead. That way, the user can see that he has entered the correct code before hitting return.

In Y2.1 this was almost the first thing I changed based on the same comment.
I however did not update the Y1 mod as it was allready in the database.
The fix is easy.
Just change the type="password" into type="text" in the validation form.

see post #61 above

or do the following:
in .mod file:
search string:

$showcheck = qq~<base href="$imagesdir/"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr>~; 

replace with:

$showcheck = qq~<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr>~; 

in CharTable.pl file:
search all the instances of:

img src=" 

replace with:

img src="$imagesdir/ 

then upload updated files to the web server in ASCII mode

9.gif" height="1"~;

I got it, forgot to leave that stuff on the tail end.

Thank you for the help.
