Reading this made me go back to my problem site and further explore what was going on.  I posted earlier reCapcha sometimes worked and others didn't.  When it didn't work, I tested by going to the registration screen, putting in the correct registration parameters, and then putting in an incorrect captch response.  Sometimes the module would correctly catch the incorrect code other times it would generate an obscure exception AND allow the registration to proceed.

Just now I went back to the site to reproduce the issue so I could look at the exception in the Event Viewer.  I was unable to reproduce the issue but however did notice MULTIPLE attempts to log into the site using many robo-generated registrations.  They were all failing due to the fact I've longed since purged un-aunthenticated accounts.

So I believe there is merit to your theory the robo-idiots are now trying to go the manual route on some DNN sites.

 

I don't know why nobody thinking about other way like http://dnnmodule.com/ Generated by MS. Xiao Qi as I saw in other forum. They make very simple and cute solution. They remove captcha and use a question / answer method. just humane can answer these questions and robots never can trace it automatically.

DNN developers can make it easy and add in release 7.3.2

Armin,

I always use http://support.dnnsoftware.com (which then rediects to https://dnntracker.atlassian.net/secu...). After logging in, I have this "Create" button on the top of the screen, near the center (from left to right: DNN Logo - Dashboards - Projects - Issues - Agile - Create ...)

Best wishes
Michael
