 * Hello,
 * I recently upgraded to w3 total cache and my site is running quite fast until
   I tried to reactivate this plugin. I really love the idea of not bother posters
   additional hurdles and had been using WP Captcah Free on my previous blog successfuly.
 * Anyway, it seems to work well when trying to comment in firefox. But once use
   my Internet Explorer 8 I get this error:
 * Benutzer-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0;

 * Can you have a look at it? Thanks,

 * That particular plugin hasn’t been updated in over a year and is listed as only
   being compatible up to WP 2.8.4. Try this one instead (at the very least the 
   developer visits these forums every day):

 * It seems to be well working, but the real advantage of WP Captcha-Free was that
   you did not bother your commenters with that kind of stuff as it worked nice 
   in the background.
 * But I guess it is not big usse for them to do … I had 644 spam comments the 2
   days I left WP Captcha-Free turned off 😀
 * Thanks for the advice.

 * If you’re looking for something that won’t impact your readers, try Akismet (
   it should have come with WP).

 * Well, the Idea was to avoid having spam even get into the database and not to
   bother visitors with it.
 * I found the kind of addon I was looking for today:
 * **NoSpamNX** – it adds some hidden form fields and spam bots will touch these
   fields which will block the comment. Easy, no extra gx, javascript or anything.
   works like a charm, even with cache.
