Hello Dan,

You will have noticed that I have now added a new field to the comment submission form. It requires you to add the characters as shown in the coloured box. This will eliminate the threat of SPAM messages because the computer automated process of submitting forms, can't be done if they can't read the characters which are in fact graphics.

Although this method adds an extra step for people to submit comments, it should stop SPAM postings.

Remember also, that no security breach allowed this to happen, this is purely the ability for an automated computer program to submit comments to webpages, just like we do as humans. This means there are no holes to patch either... thankfully.

I'd like to involve you in helping to maintain the site more... for instances, keeping on top of the regular updates for the site software which appear at drupal.org.
