SmartForms built in honeypot

Hi all

SmartForms says it comes with 'built in honeypot'... but it doesnt work. Any idea how I get it to work?

The form is displaying a hidden field called "__hpname" which I assume is there to catch bots out - bots will fill it in and the form shouldnt go through ... however, SmartForms doesnt actually seem to be checking this field as the form gets submitted whether this field is filled in or not

Thanks

Actually - seems its a bug thats carried over from CG Betterforms as it never worked there either :)
