Just what i was looking for, thanks :).

A nice one....

Um, huh? You're misunderstanding the function of this somehow. Although I don't understand quite what you're trying to say, you seem to believe one of the following:

a) That the answers are somehow in the source of the page and can just be extracted from there (which they aren't; they're stored on the server and only the number identifying the right answer for this particular question can be found in the source).
b) That the questions are always mathematical and can simply be solved by a computerized calculator (which they're not).
c) That the questions are predetermined and thus could be answered using a simple if statement in a script that hardcodes the questions/answers in, which there is not (there are no default questions and they're 100% user-customizable so there are infinitely many possibilities for questions and answers, at least as far as the server can handle).

I assure you that it is impossible to create a script that will get around NoSpam! unless that script contains the best artificial intelligence yet invented, and if it does, then it can sure as hell crack CAPTCHA as well. I guarantee that this will provide you with better spam protection than CAPTCHA ever will, at least if you use proper questions, and if you don't, that's your fault, not mine.

This work with 3.5, too? My members are tired of seeing board updates so 3.5 is it until 4.0.

Great mod. I installed this on vb 3.6.2 Unfortunately the nospam field didnt show on my registration page. I looked throught this thread and found a template edit fix which is shown below. Did a search in my registration template and no code alteration had been made. Added the 1 line of code and all is now working. Thanks very much.

I've been having MAJOR problems with spammers lately, getting 10-12+ new ones per day on some days. Since installing this hack, they've come to a screeching halt! I don't think we've had a single one yet. So, thank you SO much. This hack was very much appreciated!

There is a special 3.5 version - you can either search the 3.5 forum or find it in a link at the bottom of my profile. :)

hmm. I am running vb 3.64. I love this mod, but it makes the search function not work for guests.

With NoSpam! disabled, guests can search fine, with it inabled they get a "invalid answer" message.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Installed ----- Thanks :D

So the NoSpam! question is not actually appearing on the search page?

This is the one most vulnerable to template edits, so something going wrong with it is not too unlikely. If it's not appearing, you might want to make the automatic template edit manually:

FIND

REPLACE it with

Then FIND

REPLACE it with
