Topic: New user verification to eliminate spam

I am new to this, but was able to successfully set up a forum for our site (http://www.beekenparsons.com/camelshump … /index.php).  It is great and was easy to install, except that we get a lot of spambot users which I have to continually delete.  How can I add a feature which requires a new user to identify a series of numbers/letters and reply to an email, just like I had to in order to join this forum?  Thanks for the help, I am sure this can be done and perhaps I am just missing something basic here, but I would appreciate some guidance if possible!

Re: New user verification to eliminate spam

Uh... Never mind.  After posting this, I looked around the administrative area on my forum and found the extensions.  About 30 seconds later, the spam blocking extension was installed and functioning.  My apologies for cluttering the forum with questions that I should have been able to (and was able to) answer myself, and cheers for making PunBB easy enough so that even a hack like me can get it running!
