[Imc-drupal-dev] [Fwd: Drupal 5.0 beta 1]

[Robbt]

What about the option for Captcha that asks a
simple math question instead of using an image.
I set-up that and I have had no SPAM for about a
week vs. the 8000 spam comments I just deleted
today.

I read in the changelog that there is support
for install profiles. So that sounds perfect.
I'd really love to figure out the best format
for indymedia, I'm pretty sure the Columbus one
could use a lot of work.

Also the comment moderation module patch didn't
work how I expected it to. It ended up hiding
all comments by default even with the option to
not hide comments, but at least it's along the
right route.
