          		 I can't view that thread. Is there a way to turn registration off!

              find this code

              Code
              if (!$resp->is_valid) {
              $captchaerror = $resp->error;
              $errors[] = t('Wrong Verification code');
              }


              put this code after that

              if (!$_POST['security_question'] || $_POST['security_question'] != 'PUT UR ANSWER HERE' ) {
              $errors[] = t('You must answer security question correctly!');
