New features (SPAM prevention and minor changes)

[Andreas]

Verification Code (CAPTCHA)
All users are now required to enter a Verification Code (CAPTCHA) before submitting messages in the guestbook system. The Verification Code is displayed in an image and consists of 5 numbers. The system does by no means stop spammers, but it does make their life a little more difficult.

The new system does not require cookies and all graphic browsers are supported.

Duplicate post prevention
The system no longer accepts duplicate posts within a certain timeframe.

Minor interface improvement: guestbook signing

• Flags are automatically displayed when the country is selected from the drop-down list (javascript enabled browsers)
• Errors are now displayed on the same screen as the message (no longer necessary to press the "Back" button in your browser).
• Pagination bug fixed (some guestbooks did not display the footer correctly).

Is there a problem with your guestbook after the upgrade?
