Yah I have disabled the addon

badly sad--for this problem..

waiting for a fix..

I'm confused.... :confused:

I've been using this mod for months and have no problems or complaints from anyone using IE7.

I have my Guest Usergroup set so they can view certain forums (ie: help etc), but can't view the rest.

What exactly is it that I should be looking for that would cause me to uninstall or turn OFF this mod and wait for what problem to be fixed?

Thanks... :)

To view this problem you need to disable guest access completely, so people are forced to either register or login as soon as they attempt to access your site.

I have been able to bypass the problem by setting the guest usergroup to view forums but then in the forum permissions change them all to can't view, this temp fix will do me for the time being.

I've yet to have time to look through the script and attempt to solve this problem

My forum is accessible by guests!

Problem with unicode charaters, it CANNOT display unicode characters so it returns error :(

what about the fix?

I would also like to see a fix please

i wish i could, i dont know anythng about diff languages and why this hack wouldnt work with them.

if you press the submit button while leaving the cursor in the image verification text box, you will not pass the verification even if the right value was entered.

when is the 3.1.2 going to be released?

this is so nice!

Lol, everyone is still waiting on an update from three months ago.. Uninstall and make him update!

It would be nice to add support for custom profile field checking, e.g. I have a profile field that is *required* at registration AND has a regexp, so if a person doesn't fill it out correctly they'll get an error message and have to go back and fill out the info again.

I'm not sure how easy that'd be to implement, though... so for now I've just made that field optional (which sort of defeats the purpose of the field in the first place) :( I guess a simple query to check for profile fields that are required at registration, and that have a regexp filled out would be able to grab the correct info, but I'm not exactly the best with coding for vBulletin.

I also had an idea to add a bot-preventative measure to all this... well, two ideas actually.

1) Currently, when you incorrectly fill out a CAPTCHA, it simply clears the field for you and refreshes the image. I doubt bots would ever adapt to this and be able to "brute force" the CAPTCHA box, but I thought an extra level of protection would be nice, say something like an error message that requires a response/click to refresh the CAPTCHA image and clear the input field.

2) Banned email checking. Entering a blacklisted email could either (a) throw an error message saying the domain's been banned or (b) cause the page to redirect to an error message upon entering the banned email.

2a would work perfectly with your idea a few posts ago to grey out the Submit button until all fields are correctly filled out.. This could keep a lot of bots from even getting past the Submit button since their email boxes won't even fill out.. :) Although, I do think a lot of bots probably bypass the actual form altogether with all that special software they use. haha.

its been kind of busy for me lately i would love to release an update but the problem is i have a full time job @ the moment and am taking 14 college units. (aka I'm also a full time student).

As for bots, turning a capatcha is all you would need to do to prevent a bot. Bots don't use the actual form, well a good bot wouldn't. When you get spammed user sign ups its usually people manually signing up then they add the accounts to a spam list and run a bot that logs in and spams the forum.

hopefully i can find time to release a new one, if you look at the one on Scriptasy it implements the grayed out box.

No need to explain yourself... they were just suggestions. :)

As for bots, I figure that most do bypass the form altogether, but I thought a measure like disallowing banned emails from being entered could at least prevent some bots from ever submitting the form, and maybe even stop some manual spammers in their tracks (the ones who normally get through CAPTCHA).. but I realize that if they're determined they'll just keep entering emails until they find one that's not banned.

if i do have the time to update this hack, ill look into the banned email addresses.

bots cant bypass the captcha, as for emails if the "spammer" is determined he will just find the list of emails that are OK. But i will look into adding the check. I do know that spammers do use temp email services, such as http://2prong.com/ which is a great service :D (they make a new domain like every day).

If you release an update, please please please try to solve the issue with some languages (eg greek). I can't use the hack because of that problem and so do a lot other greek admins that I know of :( I love this hack, and I can't use it :(

I don't mean to put pressure on you, I am also a student and I work full time at the same time, so I understand what you mean ;) What I'm trying to say is that, please don't forget us!

I know bots can't bypass CAPTCHA..

I was talking about bots bypassing the actual FORM (as in they wouldn't actually be limited by something like disabling the Submit button, although I still think it'd be a nice feature :)), and "manual" spammers being the ones "bypassing" the CAPTCHA (being human and all).

But I do agree with you, a very determined spammer would just keep cycling through email domains til they find the right one... but honestly, I think they'd much rather just move onto another board that will take the email address that they've been spamming other boards with, instead of sitting around trying to hack into the site.

I still have no idea why it doesn't work with other languages. I wish i did!

"Username Regular Expression" PCRE After setting, can't use!

Excuse me, how solve?

The eyes ground hopes and may forbid Chinese, Japanese, …etc. the 2 bit word dollar register.

Thank you! ^_^

I've had this mod installed for some time now and love it. I've just noticed that it doesn't query the banned email addresses though.

For example, say I've banned '@yahoo.com'. I'm able to type in an email address containing '@yahoo.com' and it says the email is available. When I hit the Complete Registration button though, it says the email address has been banned.

Is there a way to get this mod to query the banned email addresses?

Thanks a lot. :)

Absolutely love this mod...

And for those interested...if you have the following mod installed...it will conflict with this mod:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=160060

So I removed that mod...wasn't serving any purpose, anyway...

Nice job on this hack...I'm absolutely loving it...

Installed on 3.6.8 PL2 and apparently working as expected...

Would it be possible to have some sort of instant e-mail address verification included into this? They have a function like this available for phpbb:

Live Email Validate (LEV)

To bring up an old question asked by someone else eons ago, how do you feel about No Spam! hack support now that you've captcha support anyway ? I know they don't function exactly the same, but could it be doable somehow now ?

I would love the Email check thing and the submit button NOT to be active till all fields have been filled in. I will look at the code and see if I can help you out. I also like the LIVE EMAIL checker that thing rocks when I used to use phpbb. I will see if that is possible as well.

I'm having a strange problem. It seems that this script doesn't allow AOL addresses past the registration page. When a potential member attempts to sign up using an AOL email address it returns an error saying that the email address is invalid. I've confirmed the validity of the email addresses attempting to register, so it must be the plugin. Any ideas on what I could change in the xml file to counter this error?

only work for password what can i do?

this is my register page -> http://forum.caltexmovie.com/register.php

how to remove the ajax check for Image Verification, my Member dont like that check!

Hopefully you can help me. Is there a way to move the bar or fix the formatting problem?

Thanks for the help!

Coder Shack it is pitty that we can not use this wonderfull add-on on our foreign language boards.

I believe that vb has some sort of interperter between foront-end and database that translate characters.
When I check my db there are different characters than on the front-end (they are written in UTF-8 code I believe in the db).

Can you use this interperter before you run the text through your javascript? or after that for checking?

does the code support arabia language?

Thank you for continually supporting this mod, it's really evolving quite nicely :)

I wish i could, but i have not found out how to fix it.

What is with aol email issue? is this just one guy or a mod issue that is getting resolved? cant install till it is fixed (big board)

I have had people register with AOL email addresses just fine on my board. I am running 3.6.8 (Patch 2).

K then I am going to try it thanks!

I've tried to add it manually, with the templates changes. My first problem, when I add the <script.. code to the tolp of my register template, and when I click save.. it say this:

Can you help me?

I also installed this addon, but i have the known problem with the Greek characters.
Does anyone find any solution?

I've uninstalled due to this problem :(

I am totally re-coding this project. It should be done by today. It will be much nicer and more compatible than before.

Oooh that is cool, thanks for the work you're putting into this :)
