Hi,
Kinda new here but looking for some help, users seem experienced and
friendly. 
My problem is:
I'm running Postnuke on my server, and have had problems with bots. I need
a method of preventing these bots in registration, as email confirmation
doesn't seem to deter them. I was trying to get a captcha in my PHP form
but I just can't seem to get it..
Here is a link to the file i'm trying to alter, it's part of my
registration form module:
http://www.electronicsathome.com/war/user.txt
Here is where I need to get my captcha in:
http://www.electronicsathome.com/UserReg.html
Everytime I try to add some code, it just doesn't appear or work properly..
Tried many things like securimage and home made code.. I'm not fluent
enough to understand why it's not working and was hoping someone had an
idea or a different idea for bot preventing.
PS: I tried the dpCaptcha module hook for Postnuke but it don't work
either..

Email registration is optimal because you need to register with a valid
email, get the email, click the link in the email to validate etc... What
problems are you having, comments, news or something with registration?
Let me know.

Somehow these pesky bots found a way around email verification.. I need
some kind of improved system in my NewUser module, and I was thinking a
captcha would do the trick..
Everything else is pretty sound, this is my last remaining hole in fighting
the bots for now.
The problem i'm having is figuring out how to get a captcha system into my
module, which is where i'm seriously stuck. I tried inputting some sample
code from around the net but it just wouldn't show, and I'm not even sure
how I would link it anyway.
Here's an example of code I was trying out:

This code will go in different spots in the NewUser module most likely.
#1, you need to make sure you have the GD or GD2 graphics library PHP
extension loaded. Check your hosts PHP info page to see. I could probably
code this but I woul have to charge several hours for it.

Oh, we do have the GD libraries, but I thought there would be more of a
quickfix answer instead of asking someone to work on a total upgrade.
I tried the new Zikula but it wasn't very functional with older modules and
what not.. so I reverted back to this.
Well thanks for your help anyway, i'm not in a position to put money in
right now.
