Thank you.

Can you help me with that mod, please?

What I have done so far:
- Uploaded the contents of the upload folder into the root of my forum (I am sure I have done it 100% right)
- Imported the xml into products. I have uploaded that file product-vbstopforumspam.xml (without overwriting).
- Edit the options. (AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> vbStopForumSpam) - I do not have this options :(

So.... should I rebuild/refresh something?

Double check. If it's really not there, try reimporting the product file.

I have obtained an API from SFS and entered it into my VB options in the appropriate field, but I cannot figure out what to do next to start submitting my spammers to the DB.

Thanks! Keep up the great work on a fantastic mod!

I'm guess "remote error" means it couldn't hook into the API (which I've set it to allow registration in that case), but API services were up at the time of this request.

No it is working. It did exactly what it should do when the SFS database isn't available - allow registration.

The SFS database is having intermittent problems with a server, so there has been more of this than normal the past week or so.

The fact that you could access the database to submit a spam report is entirely consistent with the problems they are having with that server.

See Stop Forum Spam announcement .

New issues with this mod. Out of nowhere my client is now getting this error when a new person tries to register on their site.

Quote:

Registration denied. We check new registrations against a database of known forum spammers. At this time, we are unable to contact this database to verify your registration. We are sorry for the inconvenience but please do try again later.

For now I have disabled the hack and registrations work again, but that is not optimal as we need to keep spammers out. Please help. Thanks.

1. The SFS server is having intermittent issues. See Stop Forum Spam announcement.

2. AdminCP >> Settings >> Options >> vBStopForumSpam

Query Connection Errors
What should happen if the remote connection times out when querying the new registration?

Set this to Allow Registration. You have yours set to Block Registration.

This plugin = awesome. I wish I had found it long ago on past forums that I've owned/operated. Since I implemented it about a week ago, 109 registrations have occur ed and 100 of which have been blocked due to matching a database entry.

All times are GMT. The time now is 07:12 PM.
