For phpbb, it would only be for subscribing to the board - once a user has an account, it wouldn't make much sense to ask again and again for a code. I checked the "visual confirmation" available in phpbb, but it's not good for visual impaired, so the calculation method would be nice as an alternative method. For now, I just check that the add user page was submitted (by setting a hidden variable), so they cannot use a standard script with my board.
I think these summations are really stupid. Some differential equations should should keep our gray matter alive.
The problem is that I have either to implement users registration for posts or to use verification code. As in my script I even can ask to input even any random number in the verification field. Like "To post your comment input number 45 in verification fiels".
But it will be shorter: 43+2=
There will be no very difficult formulas. currently formula is random number 0-100 plus random number 0-5. Calculations are very easy! I think that it is best solution against comments spam for small site as mine. And it does not bother really..
It is the first time i try to post a message in totalcmd.net with the new anti-spam mecanism and i am always getting the folowing error message:
"Your IP address has changed! Session expired. Please go back and try again!"
I am behind a proxy.

The problem is not in proxy but that is changes every time your open new page. This is a spambot like behaviour. Or your IP address when you opened a page to post comment to and your IP address when you submitted a comment was different. Simply try again.
There are proxy apps out there that regularly switch the used proxies. So if djorge tells this app to stop switching at least on totalcmd.net everything will work without any tricks I think.
If the used proxy is something like i2P tunnel or another squid web proxy cache there's not much one can do besides shutting it down or hoping that the IP doesn't change on the second page access.
The only problem is that i don't have access to the proxy (i am at the work). But i have never had such problem. The only thing i know abou the proxy is its name/version: (squid/2.5.STABLE1).

And who wants to keeep gray matter alive ?
You know that most depresive people are those with higher IQ. So killing some gray cells can make your life more enjoyable.
We are not doing this just for the money.
We are doing it for sh*t load of money.
I think what happened to me was related with my windows or something else that i can't figure out. After restarting my computer, i can post in totalcmd.net with no error message.
