We are using the StartUp template for our Joomla 2.5 site and have been forced to unpublish the contact page because of non-stop SPAM. The contact form uses ChronoForms.

I have published the page temporarily for this forum post in case someone has time to look and offer suggestions for an easy fix.

Hello,

It seems that reCAPTCHA used in this component is not enough for the bots - please contact with the developer if it is possible to use reCAPTCHA with this component.

Thank you. I want to make sure I understand.

Are you saying that Captcha is not enough or that Captcha developers may have a more robust version of the component?

Thanks again for your response.

Yes, in my opinion the used captcha is too easy to solve for bots.
