Very nice, I've disabled CAPTCHA and enabled NoSpam! I'll see how well it does over the next week or two.

Hello!

Recently I have been getting a lot of spam accounts created on my forum. I have those CAPTCHA images turned on as well as the e-mail verification but that obviously doesn't help as they just keep coming!

I installed this and it says that it made style changes etc.. there is a new option in the admin CP, however on the registration page there isn't the form to fill out (I did make a question and enable it of course).

If I then click register I get the error 'You have entered the NoSpam! question incorrectly etc'.

The skin I am using is Fusion Expanded from eXtremepixels.

I have no other plugins installed.

Thanks!

Edit: I browsed through the posts here and they instructed me to look for the CAPTCHA image code.. The exact code isn't there but I have found:

I've put the nospam $ thing above that but to no avail :(

I'm using 3.6.4 also :)

"nospam $ thing"? Well, it was $nospamfield, and being exactly like that is very important so I'd like confirmation that that is exactly what you put in. $imagereg is the code you should have been finding, yes, and I am assuming the one you found was indeed in the register template.

Yes.. that's exactly what I put, I wrote 'thing' because I was typing quickly and didn't want to make another [ code ] field because of the license policy :)

It didn't load up unfortunatly and I tried Internet Explorer and Opera (although it shouldn't have made a difference). I uninstalled the product and installed another named 'Enhanced CAPTCHA Image Verification' which gives you 4 pictures to click through.

I would rather have this one as it is near impossible for a bot to crack through whereas the other can just be a 'click 'till it gets lucky'.

This is what I put, for verification:

I guess that is wrong? :)

Hmm, it should be correct. All the plugins are definitely enabled and unchanged, and you turned the system on, right?

Well, I actually posted a link to this on vbulletin.com about how I thought they should use something like this... of course I didn't say I came up with it... but I don't think they like being told that someone that doesn't work on the vBulletin team has come up with something that works better than anything they've come up with.

The stuff they recommend would require an admin to sit at his/her computer constantly to approve new members or not.

Hi,
I scanned through the first few pages for this hack, and just wondering if there was an official release of this for 3.5?

We've been getting spammed a ton lately, and this would really help in stopping that.

Thanks

Click the modders profile, and magic will happen. :p

How do i remove the image verification now i have this instead?-- Found it.

For people who want to know. ACP-->VBOptions-->User Registration Options-->Image Verification (Set to no)

Right now I have it set on both, the image and the NoSpam! verification question.

By the way I plan to keep a running counter (as long as I can remember to come back)

Of how many days without a spam bot.

So far... 1
