I have tried 4 other captcha plugins that have failed. ECC+ worked the first with NO errors. I am using a RocketTheme template which was probably part of the problem with the others. But this one did it. It worked. Thank you for this plugin!

You are right, down with spam!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Works just as described! It's nice to see a great plugin that is able to provide this kind of protection for various 3d party extensions in one! Thank you!

Thank you!
Having had a problem with spam through the Virtuemart "Ask a Question" page, I looked around at the various captcha plug-ins. This one seemed to have good reviews and support for Joomla 1.5 and Virtuemart so I tried it out.
It installed with no problems and worked straight out the box after enabling it.
Thank you!

Dave

Wow Wow Wow and thanks. I can't fault this at all. This is the only captcha system that works properly with Joomla 1.6. It is child's play to install and configure. Wish all plug-ins where as intuitive as this one.

Thank you!
I used to spend much time trying to integrate captchas. That's over now.
I installed the plugin on Joomla 1.6, moved to the configuration view, changed some well explained setting options ... and it worked in my user profile form without need of any other action. Thank you for your work.

You are welcome, thank you too!
It is very easy to use. Excellent plugin. Hats off to the developer.
I was just wondering if you could add a "Terms of Service" with an Agree checkbox as an additional option to this plugin since Joomla 1.6 doesn't have a good solution on this with "User Registration". Check out the tracker item [#24498] Terms of Service can't be created.

Thank you for your review and the suggestion. I'll take a look at it.
Easy to use and configure. The only issue I encountered was using it in a Joomla 1.6 site. With encryption active, the form would not accept any information as correct and would error out on user registration. Regardless (especially for Joomla 1.6) it's still an excellent plugin.

Thank you for your review. The problem was fixed in version 1.6-2!
I tried to activate the ECC+ plugin and from then on everything went blank (the homepage and admin), so I could get to it anymore to 'deactivate it'. The reason why had nothing to do with the plugin, but with my PHP version (I chould have checked). But, I was very positively surprised by the support I got and how on the forum I was 'guided' (I am anything but a joomla and website specialist) into the SQL database via filemanager on the hosting website... so I could solve the issue and assure within hours my website to be online again. I would like to express my gratitude and let all users of this plugin know ... the help is fast and accurate... even if you do something stupid and make a mess out of it like I did. Thanks again.

Hello Clement,
thank you for your review!
I have installed hundreds of Joomla sites.
I have Community Builder installed in many.
Community Builder wants you to pay a large sum of money for what this script does for free.
I do not mind paying, but fall short on funds this week.. but needed this. I was getting 200 form submissions, registration on one of my sites a day. I installed this, configured it in 2 minutes or less and BAM ZERO SPAM, ZERO!
I only use it for Registration From on my site. Not logging in.
Thank you. Thank you so much for this script.

You are welcome. Thank you for the review!
For some odd reason, it knocks off the tinyMCE functionality. Simply whatever you enter is crunched together and all tags removed except one p at the beginning and one /p at the end. This is a serious flaw. I had to rebuild the site from scratch to see where the problem is suspecting all sorts of plugins, modules and components, but once I turned off ECC+, voila! The tinyMCE worked as it should (mode regardless, this applies to all three tinyMCE modes). It is a shame, the plugin is marvelous, I like the math captcha more than image ones and the tokenization of the admin URL is a nice touch too. But I need to update articles frequently, and turning ECC+ off when editing and back on when done is not really a solution.
I am not sure if you, ECC+ developer are aware of this problem. So here it is. The version I am using is 1.5-13, installed in Joomla v.1.5.22.
I hope you can fix this.

Thank you for your review, but...
... why you don't first ask or look into the support forum?

As a newbie Joomla user (1 month) this product was very easy to install. Download zip, install and enable. No hacks or other technical knowledge required. The way extensions should be.
I required it for Kunena guest post and registration forms.
The range of configuration and spam blocking options is very extensive. These can be applied to all the places where you could need it in Joomla as well as other extensions and modules.
I had a minor issue with the calc check. Contacted Viktor in support and he answered with a resolution within 24 hours. Great service and support that would put commercial software houses to shame.
After trying (and discarding) 3 other captcha extensions, this product is fantastic and I simply wouldn't look any further.
