Hello FHUser,

Excellent suggestion regarding allowing visitors to select the current language of the guestbook. Will look into it as time permits.

As for specifying spammer URL though, it has to be the actual IP of the person visiting the guestbook. What you could do for automated bots though is to get the IP of the Spam URL and specify that.

As for image verification, this is already supported in version 1.7.2. There is an option for it which you can set in the "config.php" file of your guestbook.

Good suggestion. We will consider a variation of that idea for future versions.

What I am thinking is to have a seperate option in the admin section where it lists all the messages and each message has a checkbox next to it. You check however many messages you want to email and then click on an Email button which sends all of them to you in an email. Would that work for you?

The Template Driven Layout System and Non GD Image Verification (Recaptcha 1.0 & 2.0) have been added to the Guestbook as of Version 2.0.2.

We also are finishing up the implementation of "Stop Forum Spam" which is a Spammer Database check into the guestbook for version 2.0.3. When enabled, this feature will check the IP and Email of the visitor posting against a list of known spammers and prevents them from posting if either their Email or IP is found to be that of a spammer.

More features coming soon!

Thanks,
Pete
