man bots are signing up like crazy on my site and i have this installed. it started up all of a sudden. is anyone else experiencing this?

Do you still have the default 4 images enabled? If so check this post and add extra images, I've got up to 10 now andn don't seem to have any spam sign ups - I will admit I had one get through before I changed it.

Let me know how you get on.

I changed the image set completely as I have a themed board and not a single bot. I think someone must have gone through all the pics and found some way of letting the bot know which is which. My advice would be, you can keep 4 pics but change the sets.

" and then hits the back link it will give them new image choices to click, but the word underneath them does not match all the time. Any idea's to make sure that the "hint" word will match the images all the time?

Yes, I've noticed the same problem. It is possible with a larger array of photos that a user could accidentally click on the wrong image, get the error message, and then click on their browser's "Back" button to try again.

Clearly the image verification php script is being executed in this scenario, because a new image set is being selected and a new question is displayed.

A fix to reload the images would be greatly appreciated.

This mod is FANTASTIC! It has brought the onslaught of spambots signing up for our sites to a complete halt.

Most impressive!

Will you be updating this to work with vb3.7 series? (hoping so)

Works with 3.6.10, but, yes there is a but...every once in awhile one on the images will not load and I get the vb_regsource, as I said this is not very often. Thanks for all the information in this thread. It has been very helpful.
