 * Is it possible to add a special opt-in field to the forms? We have an eList/newsletter,
   and would like to have people check it off when they register.

 * Hi Janet,
 * The contact form included with the plugin is meant to be a simple drop-in contact
   form for a contact page…that simply won’t get spammed. It does not have the ability
   add extra fields, as it is not meant to be a configurable and full-featured contact
   form, like some other contact form plugins out there.
 * However, the plugin will work with almost all other contact form plugins out 
   there, without you having to do a thing. Just install your contact form plugin
   and add a form to your site, and WP-SpamShield will handle the rest. For more
   info on the contact form and how it works: [http://www.redsandmarketing.com/plugins/wp-spamshield/installing-contact-form/](http://www.redsandmarketing.com/plugins/wp-spamshield/installing-contact-form/)
 * Hope that helps! Have a good one!

 * Thank you Scott,
 * I work with Contact Form 7. If I make a Contact Form can it be used as the registration
   form.
 * That was my hope.

 * Hi Janet,
 * You’re very welcome. When you say “registration form” that has two meanings in
   WordPress…one is the registration form for WordPress itself (Where new users 
   sign up for memberships on your site), and the 2nd is what you mentioned in your
   original post…a registration/signup for for email lists.
 * Each of these 2 types of registration, and the contact forms, all use different
   mechanisms within WordPress.
 * Regarding email list registration/signup forms, it really will depend on what
   email system you are using, because it would require a plugin to adapt it to 
   your particular email system. For example I know that there are plugins to adapt
   Contact Form 7 to work with MailChimp. You may want to Google around for that
   or contact the email list provider you are using for support.
 * Hope that helps.
 * – Scott
