I am running 4.2.2 and the most recent download. I have been unable to find an answer to the "Field left blank" problem still. I thought I read most of these posts but I may have missed something?

I didn't remove the old one before i installed/upgraded. should i just delete the old one now or will i mess something up.? (maybe i should uninstall the old one then re upload the xml?)

Thanks

This great little mod just stopped a swarm of attempted registrations from bots in Russia and Ukraine over the weekend.

fyi....I'm running 4.2.0 PL2 and it's working fine.

I just block Russia, Ukraine and Turkey in my .htaccess file.
You can also do that with a list of known toxic spam address from stopforumspam.com.

These measures made forum spammer registration manageable.

Yeah, I just added China, Russia, Ukraine and Nigeria to the IP list. It's getting longer every day

Glad to hear this is working for folks. Thanks!

It would be great if it would email the IP address used after the bot's been blocked.

It would also be great if it would log that IP address for further review. Maybe we want to submit the IP address(es) to stopforumspam.com, or maybe we want to manually ban them or their CIDR range.

It does include the IP address in the email to the admin

I use it and it's working great!

Does it randomly change with each UV to the registration page or is it just randomly generated once during installation/configuration?

I don't see that anyone addressed this issue. I have had to disable this mod because of it.

I am running the latest version (4.0.2) with vb 4.2.2, but have potential members tell me they are not able to register because of the blank field issue.

Any ideas? Thanks.
