The two tricks are a) it needs to be a time that is the number of seconds, and b) you cannot just use the Smarty function {the_time}, as functions cannot be nested. You'll need to assign the result of the function to a Smarty variable first: <code>{capture name=comment_time}{comment_date d="U"}{/capture} {capture name=post_time}{the_time d="U"}{/capture} {human_time_diff     from=$smarty.capture.post_time     to=$smarty.capture.comment_time}</code> (That last one can all go on the one line). As for the Catchpa: I've written a post about it somewhere on this site. I'm not completely happy with it, as it seems to still be letting through some Comment Spam. I think I need to think more like a Comment Spammer before I rewrite it... The times you want to know the difference.

What should i replace <em>'n'</em> with? <strong>Question #2:</strong> How did you create the "Catchpa" thing? I would be very greatful for an answer. Hi!
