			Of course, beside this extension, there are many more similar extensions which you can use to prevent spam. Though if you install multiple, we would advice to check if the extensions are compatible with each other before installing.

	===Google's reCAPTCHA===		===Google's reCAPTCHA===
	~~For answers~~ to ~~those questions you can look~~ at ~~google~~'~~s page about recaptcha (~~https://google.com/recaptcha)		CAPTCHA, originally from a complicated acronym, is a term used for different kinds of challenges to prevent automated scripts from trying to comment, register or login on websites. reCAPTCHA is a project owned by Google that is quite successful at designing these challenges. You probably know reCAPTCHA as the "I'm not a robot" checkbox you often have to press. More details are available on <nowiki>https://google.com/recaptcha</nowiki>

	~~===Installation===~~		You can follow these instructions to get started:
	~~This installation guide requires drupal '''6,7 or preferably 8''' (or higher).~~
	~~'''Note this installation requires captcha and recaptcha,~~ these ~~are different plugins and not a type error.'''~~

	* Go to ~~drupal's captcha page~~ and ~~download the appropriate version~~ at the bottom of the page (https://www.drupal.org/project/captcha)		* First of all make sure that you have the 'Update Manager' module enabled in the 'Extend' tab of your admin panel. If not check the box next to it and press install at the bottom of the page.
			* Now go to https://www.drupal.org/project/captcha, to the downloads section. Here right click the link to the download (often .zip or .tar) and press 'copy link'.
	* Go to ~~drupal's recaptcha page~~ and ~~download the appropriate version at the bottom of the page (~~https://~~www~~.~~drupal~~.~~org~~/~~project/recaptcha)~~		* Next go back to your website and in your URL bar, go to /admin/modules/install. So it will look something like "<nowiki>https://username.ulyssis.be/admin/modules/install</nowiki>" . If you get an error that this page can't be found, check step 1 again.
			* You will see a box that says 'Add from a URL'. Here you enter the link from the module download page, and press continue. This should give a message that the modules has been installed.
	** Extract the archives into '''sites/all/modules/~~[recaptcha~~/~~captcha]~~'''~~respectively~~ and ~~relative~~ to ~~your own drupal installation '''(~~this ~~folder may need to be created manually)~~'''		* Now you will still need to enable this module, in the same way as with the 'Update Manager' module from step 1.
			* Next you will also need to install the reCAPTCHA module, by performing the same steps above but using the following link instead: https://www.drupal.org/project/captcha.
	* ~~Now navigate~~ to ~~your~~ drupal ~~administration page in your browser (~~/~~admin~~/~~modules)~~		* To use the reCAPTCHA module, it is '''critical''' you first go to the configuration page of this module, where you will need to enter the keys to use reCAPTCHA. You can register these on <nowiki>https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin</nowiki>
	** Search for captcha ~~and enable it~~		** Go to reCAPTCHA's configuration page by going to the 'Extend' tab, finding the reCAPTCHA module, expanding the small triangle, and clicking configure.
	** Search for recaptcha and enable it		** Now fill in the required keys you got on google's reCAPTCHA's administrator page before
			** When finished entering these keys, press the "Save configuration" button to save your settings '''[[Category:Security & anti-spam]] [[Category:CMSs]]'''
	* Once complete it is '''critical''' to ~~configure your captcha setting in~~ the ~~web interface (~~/~~admin~~/~~config~~/~~people~~/~~captcha)~~ '''and ~~do not forget to enable the captcha-points (/admin/config/people/captcha/captcha-points)~~.
