Hi All,

I've searched and obviously I'm obviously missing it if it's already been answered, so here goes :)

I have a friend who has a - for lack of better term, a non profit site. They had a person who built and maintained their DNN site for them, but this person now doesn't have the time to keep maintaining / assisting. I've been asked to help out . I do IT for a living, so it shouldn't be that hard, right? :)

So the website has a comments page where people can leave comments. It asks for name, e-mail, and a captcha. Unfortunately, there's no 'validation' so drive by spammers are having a field day.

I'd like some sort of validation - perhaps make a person register before allowing their comment to be posted? And requiring validation for registration, ie a "Click here to confirm your identity" e-mail upon registration? I can post the URL if need be - like I said it's non commercial (closer to non profit more or less), if need be.

Thanks for any help. New to DNN, so don't know what other information to provide. I don't see an obvious "Version" listed on the admin page, so I'm not sure what version of DNN they are running.

Thanks :)

 Hi Cathal,

Thanks for the help. I'm not sure what you mean by login as host? I login with an admin login? I don't see any Host settings. In the top right I have Site, Users, Roles, Files, Help, Extensions, and on the top left, Page Functions?

For extensions, I believe th e module is News Articles Comments, v 0.7.74.- "DnnForge - LatestComments"

Thanks :)

 Ok, thank goodness they host password isn't the default :) Let me see if I can find out the host password.
