Not aware of any issues but I think it would make sense to add a captcha option to the Search page. Not sure how hard it would be to add to the popup search but doubt it would be too difficult.

Popup would be no problem as we already do it for the login. I'll add this to the issue tracker as I think this is another good idea.

That's a good idea, sixonetonoffun. As usual I am close to a year in commenting. Oh well, the internet is forever. Laughing

Thanks, southern. I hadn't seen this.

Six! Hope you're well. Just curious - what is your thinking on this? Reduce flooding / DoS? If so, I think using a tool like Guardian's Site Guardian and / or ZB Block could address this without impacting the legitimate visitors.

You're welcome kguske. Smile I'm a little busy with my extracurricular activities. Chinese cyber-security is very porous if you know what you are doing. Wink
