where to style and set up the send email form task-emailUser

CB gets more and more disappointing I have to say...

I spend hours to figure out the most basic things, searching the forum does not help, not even Google finds some helping hints. E.g. there is no batch process for anything, the entire back end is so clumpsy and time consuming ... I could go on and on ...

Now to the current problem: there is no obvious way how to:

1. switch off the captcha for specifically that form (email form task-emailUser)
2. how do I style that form when the styles are hard coded into the form??? which is a practice from 1995
3. where do I change the wording of the ridiculous message in the footer which is half English half German and sounds like written by a 4year old

There is a lot more wrong with that form but I need to solve at least these three things.

Thanks

there is no batch process for anything

We've already addressed this with CB 2.0. All of our management pages except, at this time, User Management have batch processing.

the entire back end is so clumpsy and time consuming ...

We've completely rewritten our entire backend for CB 2.0. Check out our front page articles below to see our CB 2.0 progress.

1. switch off the captcha for specifically that form (email form task-emailUser)

CB Captcha is deprecated and officially replaced by CB AntiSpam, which includes a very much improved Captcha (including 3 modes: code, question, recaptcha). With CB AntiSpam you can enable/disable the captcha and even change the mode on a location by location basis. In the case of the email form you'd navigate to CB AntiSpam > Config > Captcha > Legacy.

2. how do I style that form when the styles are hard coded into the form??? which is a practice from 1995

What hard coded styles? You'll need to be more specific as to which you're referring to. There are very limited inline styles such as connection boxes, but forms do not have inline styles. CB 2.0 improves this further by completely removing inline styles entirely (except canvas image where it adds the image as a background image style generated from PHP).

3. where do I change the wording of the ridiculous message in the footer which is half English half German and sounds like written by a 4year old

My guess is your language plugin is incomplete if this is the case. You'll need to be more specific as to what language string you're referring to so I can give you its location. Registration page can have a conclusion message, which you can change within CB > Configuration > Registration; perhaps one was specified there?
