This is a fantastic mod. Since installing it, I've stopped dozens of attempted bots. Combine it with the advanced registration mod, and you will stop the bots cold!

?
Would this mod be considered "needed" for 3.8.2 ?

Or is it included with 3.8.2

I am very interested in this mod.

?

YES :D

And if you notice one or two that registered after a few weeks simply change the hidden values for this mod in admincp --> vbulletin options --> Stop the Registration Bot options etc. I change them once weekly after one or two got by and then no problems if I change it weekly, not one bot yet however realize this is not permanent, nothing is or ever will be as they keep getting more advanced (bots) just like our methods, it's a race to see who can get what they want quicker.

I have found on 3.6 and 3.8 I have had no problems installing this but another board which was 3.7 had it refreshing the register page once submitted instead of redirecting properly so FYI there is an issue for some people on 3.7 forums but that could be due to past installed bot mods and just conflicting so it should not represent a bug of this actual mod.

Good to hear, all are supported so if I do not reply promptly well... read the sig :p

Also a new one soon and when I say new ohh man do I mean it's going to make you all go wow :p I just received confirmation from the developer last week to implement with vb but have been busy w/ paid requests so hang tight!

Ohh and glad to see you got this working and remember to change those values in admincp every week or if you forget every other week etc, I know what you said above but better to pund it in your head ahead of time :D

I followed the installation instructions, however I am lost onece I reach the Fifth step??? I can't find Product Manager Add/Import. Please help.

Admincp --> Pugins & Products --> Manage Products

Now look on the right for the link... [Add/Import Product]

Clcik it and upload the file from your computer where you unzipped the mod.

Now go into Admincp --> vBulletin Options --> Stop the Registration Bots Options etc etc and set your options, change those pre-configured hash codes using up to 8 letters or numbers and save.

Thought about implementing something where a cron job runs every 2 weeks or so automatically changing those fields?

In the xml folder that is found within the includes folder, there is no file called product. However, there are 6 other xml files. Please advise. Thank you for your help! :)
