    I am a happy stable user of 2.09c, but website is increasingly being bombarded with mindless automatically filled in forms. I would like to perhaps use the captcha to reduce this in v3.0. How straightforward is it to "upgrade" my existing setup (version2.09c via fantastico, working beautifully) to incorporate this. I'm not a programmer.

    Of if there's any other simple solution out there....

      It is not possible to convert what you have.  The version 2.09 is very different from 3.0 and the 3.0 code is limited to the Demo copy that you can only use online. 
      There is a way for you to add the Captcha stuff to any single instance of your 2.09 forms but it will require some customization.

      Thanks - I am interested if anyone has any "fixes" or javascript they've used which works to cut out. Surely I'm not the only one plagued by this mindless nonsense?

        Here is what I would do.
        Go to the versio 3.0 Demo site
        Create a simple one field form with Captcha
        Finish and download the form zip file
        Extract it and look at how Captcha is implemented
        Copy the necessary files and folders to your 2.09 form folder
        Modify your form1.html to include the Captcha features
        Modify your process.php file to include the Captcha features

        If you are still having trouble, zip up your form and send it to me and I will make these specific mods for you. 
        There is no instruction document telling you how to make this modification.
