thanks a lot THEDoug !

15? His second post was only 4 minutes after the first!

Seriously, people will help when they can. Sometimes that is the same day, sometimes a couple days later. You need to learn to be patient.

Great mod! I've just installed it yesterday ~6 pm. Within 12 hours I got 60 mails and ~6 hours later again 30 mails about failed registration. I've left the code at 15 seconds, but now I've turned off the mails ;) In all this time I'm using it now only 2 bots came through.
Thx so much! It really makes my life and the life of the other admins on my forum much easier!:up:

will this hack work on 3.7.3?

It works perfectly with 3.7.3

Okay gotta a question...i added this mod under products and now I cant find the option to turn it on...sorry..I am not too great this. Help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Here's an idea... Why not grey out the submit button and have it display a timer so that the user cant hit submit till the 15 seconds are up therefore they will never be caught. Whereas the bot will just be programed to push the submit code and never know of the timer. Just a thought.

If you've added the product via the Add/Import Product interface, and modified the "register" template as instructed, then the product is "on" and working. You can disable it without uninstalling it, or you can remove it altogether through the same Manage Products in the Admin CP.

FWIW, I installed this hack on two different vB installs, and it blocked several (and apparently all) spam bot registrations. But, on one, as a test, I enabled reCAPTCHA, and disabled Is Bot, and haven't had a spam bot successfully register since.

thanks a stack, installed :D

Gotta question..sorry if its been answered already.

How do you turn off the email alerts?
