I'm really not sure what could be causing this if the NoSpam! system is definitely turned on...

As for using separate fields for questions and answers, it is a little more difficult because if you have a lot of questions you'll just have to count the lines to see which answer goes with which question. Colons can already be inserted, anyway, using the ASCII code (& #58; without the space).

NoSpam was working great for about a month. I used very basic math questions like "1 + 2" and "1 + 1". Suddenly, however, I'm getting tons of spam just like I used to. Was there some spambot software that was upgraded to circumvent NoSpam?

No spambot can circumvent the hack altogether. However, asking basic math questions is a very bad way to do this; I highly recommend making up questions that a computer would actually have trouble answering, since if you use simple math questions, all that needs to be done to a spambot to make it get around this is to instruct it to read the math problem found in that particular spot on the page, solve it and insert the solution into that particular field. The only protection you have with math questions is that the bot won't know it's supposed to solve the equation and insert it into the field, and it was only a matter of time before they caught on to it.

They don't need to be anything strenuous for the user to answer; it's just that math questions are by definition a piece of cake for an unintelligent computer program to answer. Just have them answer a simple verbal question, and your problems are solved.

Would it be possible to make the Search page requirement optional so we could include it only on the registration page?

There is also an invalid url for the product version check.

I installed today and hope it stops all these new users trying to register that are all use the same time zones, (GMT -7:00) Eniwetok, Kajaleiw

And there from all over, USA, Russia, Japan, where ever.

I have 10 - 12 per day try to sign on as members and I set my Admin CP for me to moderate all new users, Well that means I have to check out up to 20 users a day, that can be alot of extra work. And I have even deleted some users I wanted on the site, and don't know how to get them back.

If this works I will know within 2 days, hopefully then my new users can reister and I dont have to moderate the new users

Just amazing! Well done.

Love it!

The next version will include the option to turn it on and off for each page (registration, Contact Us, search) separately.

And thanks for the tip about the version check URL - guess I got the vBulletin.org feature somehow wrong.
