register.php shows up in a number of phrases but it is only the email body phrases that need manual updating, the other phrases all get replaced at runtime as needed.

Thanks for this. I installed it a couple of days ago and it worked fine.

You know, this mod is working well on two fronts for me.

1 - A way of preventing "register.php" from being used by bots.

2 - A real good honeypot when combined with the other mod, "really fast registration", and turning off registration at the vb oem level.

Saweet!

Thanks. Please click the "Mark as Installed" in the first post when you get a chance. :)

Holé Molé ! ...Marked as installed and thank you for this great mod if I haven't said so before. Love it!

great mod, installed!
Now I have to test it for a few days to see if it stops spam, but I'm sure it do it very well!

thnak's!

Ever since this hack has been installed I've noticed that new registrations come through WITHOUT birth dates.

Is there a way to correct this?

I can't replicate the issue, I just did a test registration on my forum and the birth date is showing in the profile fine.

Are you sure it is this mod and and not my "Really Fast Registration" mod you are talking about?

I don't use Really Fast Registration.

BTW, I can't replicate it either, meaning, whenever I try to register I come across the birth date section and can't get past it. I've also tried registering on my phone, same thing. Yet everyone else seems to breeze right through the birth date section :(

I've just noticed that every registration since this has no birth date showing. I'm trying to track down why this is. At first I thought it was some sort of backdoor registration (like the vB install folder issue) but I don't have a install folder so that couldn't be it. There's one other thing that it might be, but if anyone else notices that you have new registrations that have no birth date (ACP > Users) please post here.

I use this mod, as well as RFR.

But I use it differently. My new members dont have the birthday field filled, as RFR doesnt require it at all. But I have regular registration shut off, with Rename of register.php. I use the rename to eliminate some of the predestined bot traffic to the register page, and by shutting off regular vb registration, the renamed register page just becomes a honeypot error page.

Not one spammer since doing it this way, and an increase of registrations by real people.
(may not last long, but then again, what does anymore lol)
