Hi, what you want to do is go to Plugins & Products > Manage Products, then click the "Add/Import Product" link under the list of products. On the next page use the "Browse" button to find the product xml file on your computer (where you extracted it from the zip file) and then click Import. You don't need to worry about any other fields on that page.

You're trying to add it as a plug-in. Follow the instructions above to add it as a product.

Tested with 4.2.1 and it works great! Installed and nominated!

Thanks everyone, you're right I wasn't adding it properly.

have done so now. Thank you again for your help, much appreciated.

Do we have to uninstall or disable spambot stopper and spam-o-matic when we upgrade to the latest version of vBulletin. I need to update to 4.2

Installed this the other day.. Overnight it blocked 17 spam bot registrations where almost all of them had registration speeds of 1 or 2 seconds. Amazing product! Thank you!

UPDATE
In the last full day, it's blocked 300 registrations and they keep coming

I have had this installed for quite some time and it works very well, especially when combined with another anti-spam method. I recently set up a forum (www.clintoncounty.us) with no spambot protection on a spare domain name and forward all failed registrations to it. Interesting results. Feel free to forward your bounces there if you wish or take a look at the stat here: http://clintoncounty.us/index.php?action=stats

Thanks for the mod kh99!

Background:

I had an issue a couple days ago where someone registered on our forum without completing the custom (mandatory) fields we added to the registration screen.

After some research, I think they were able to do this through ForumRunner. (I since reconfigured forumrunner NOT to allow direct registrations, but to refer them back to the forum's login page)

Issue:

I noticed this in my ERROR log, at the same minute of the registration. Just passing it along in case something needs to be tweaked to allow for Forumrunner, is being exploited in some way, etc


[02-Aug-2013 15:42:10] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function kh99_sbs_process() in /home/??blankedout??/public_html/forumrunner/include/login.php(386) : eval()'d code on line 8

Harmless error?

Actually, I would say that it's likely from the above error that this mod doesn't work with Forumrunner. I might be able to look in to it, but I don't really have any way to test it right now.

Well for now i disabled Forumrunner's ability to process new registrations, which should fix the issue your mod has at the same time.

I just wanted to make sure it wasnt a security issue or exploit.

The user was able to register without answering the usual questions, which may be an issue with forumrunner itself.

Thanks for taking a look at it and confirming that it's nothing I have to worry about.

Have a great day!'
