3.8.2

Post on vBulletin.com for support then, I promise you its there.

does this work with 3.8.2?

3.8.2 already has the reCaptcha option standard. Read your vbulletin manual for details.

OKAY - well I just switched from standard image verification to reCAPTCHA. Let's see if that makes a difference.

I've been getting a moderate amount of SPAM - maybe one post a day or so, and we ban the user, ban the IP address, and report the details to

to help others.

Another thing I just modified is that I made it so that even usergroups "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation" and "(COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation" must "Require Human Verification on Configured Actions," not just "Unregistered / Not Logged In." Maybe this will help.

I also make users post 20 posts before they can post links. After installing reCaptcha i turned the protection off. Within an hour we had 40 posts of spam. I'm guessing the spammers are paying people in some third world country to manually spam.

Does this work OK with the last version of vBulletin 3.6.12

Great hack Magnus, thanks very much. Had forum on-line one week and been getting murdered by spam. Hopefully this will help much more. Seems to work fine with vB 3.6.12

I have a question though, is it possible to install this to not replace the default vBulletin image verification system, but instead to run alongside it as the main image captcha, or as a second image captcha with the default vBulletin verification image system if you enable it for registration. Meaning you can have both displayed if you required image verification in vBulletin 3.6 during registration in the settings. And if you don't, just this is displayed instead.

I've just installed this plugin on my 3.6.0 installation of VBulletin, everything went smooth except that when I try to register I see this error:

I fixed the problem by doing the following

1. Made sure the access conditions for the newly uploaded or modified PHP files were set to the same ones as the other PHP files in the same dir (in my case this was 775)
2. Added the following line to register.php
   
   Code:

   ---

   require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_recaptcha.php');

   ---

This was not in the installations steps described in the beginning, I figured it should work if I add the include manually. It works fine on my end. Thanks for offering this plugin.


I have a question: are there instructions on which modifications to apply to make reCaptcha show up when an anonymous user posts a message? I can try to derive them by studying the original example, but perhaps someone has already gone through this procedure?

i can't get this working can someone post the before and after? regards

did everything as described but can't see nothing different in register.php page...
using vb 3.6.4
