Hello,

I think elgg's developers can answer this question better than I.

As the first step, I'd try the following:

* Upload the files bbantispam.php and bbas_config.php on the server, near the file "index.php"
* Edit the file "index.php": insert as the first line:

<?php include_once 'bbantispam.php'; ?>

Hint: reset cookies often: if you answered a question. ATC remembers you are a human, and don't displays the question form anymore.

Sir,
thank you for your quick reply, I did so as your above advice,
but the question never appears even after i clear all the cookies.

before I use phpbb, the ATC runs very well.
but with elgg, ATC just never pop up.

I also post my question in elgg community
http://community.elgg.org/mod/groups/topicposts.php?topic=99068&group_guid=7

hope can solve this problem since ATC is the only hope I bear.

Ok.
