    Hello,

    I noticed that you don’t use any kind of anti spam system like captcha so my suggestion is that you at least try this first, there are many free on JED to look for and easy to integrate! Also if you upgrade to Joomla 2.5.x then you can make use of the build in captcha plugin.

    Regards

    along with the captcha plugin you can also use any anti spam question which is asked to user while joining your forum

    Hi,

    You can adjust the CSS code for the JA Login module to display correctly if you want to.
