Really wish we could lose the ugly-messy Captcha and go with the clean [No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA](https://www.google.com/recaptcha)!!

Hi @ctyriver

I agree that would be a nice option. Perhaps post that over on the ideas forum.

In the meantime, I presume you are aware that you can turn off captcha altogether, or set it to turn on after a number of days?

Details here: [How to configure your blog’s comment options](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/blog-user-guide-v2/how-to-configure-your-blogs-comment-options)

Cheers, Phil.

Agree, it’s a no brainer that Hubspot should enable this. Having the old reCaptcha makes blogs look dated.

reCaptcha version 2 is enabled if you go to the actual blog comments form and enable “Display Captcha on this form?”

That did it — Beautiful! Thanks John. You also need to go into Content Settings and update the checkbox for “Always require…” and the “Require CAPTCHA…” number field in order to remove the “old” version.
