hi, i have installed the feature on my form and i have a couple of
queries, im a newbie so please have patience

a) my form results are not being sent to the e-mail address i have
chosen (where are they?)
b) when the user fills in all the required data, and clicks any
INCORRECT picture, this still takes my users to my confirmation page -
why? are the results still submitted?
c) in step 3 the instructions are:

Rename the page or CGI that your form used to post to so you don't
continue getting posts. Spammers will remember where forms are and you
will continue to get spam if you don't do this. For example, if your
form is called formMail.cgi, rename it to formMail-hidden.cgi.

If you use the "Re-post Data:" setting, you will want to use the
changed URL from above that spammers are unaware of. Using the CGI
name change from above, you might use http://www.example.com/formMail-hidden.cgi
for "Re-post Data:".

CAN YOU PLEASE CLARIFY STEP 3 IN 'NEWBIE SPEAK'?????

Hi,

On your email question: check to make sure there isn't some sort of spam blocking going on. You will see form posts coming from the email address notification at justhumans.com so whitelist that address. If this continues to be an issue, enable posts in the database and click the "email results" link next to one of the posts to see if the email was sent and if there were any problems with it.

If users click the "incorrect" image, they are still sent to the same page and the post is NOT saved. This is the way the system is designed so spammers won't be able to programatically know if they successfully broke JustHumans or not.

Step 3: Rename your old script if you had one. Ignore everything else in that poorly worded step. :)

Best,

-Anders
