I don't know exactly if this mod was the reason, but the mysqld memory usage dropped to ~1/6 of what used to be after installing this. Having this enabled for searches was invaluable.

This has been fantastic for my forums!!! I have noticed occasionally now I get a weird error:

Any ideas on what is causing this?

Wow, I just found this and installed in 3.5.3 and it works like a champ! Hopefully this will curb my 10-20+ spam accounts showing up daily that I've been manually blasting. Thanks!

Yes Hello. I cant get the questions to come up the default question is entered. and it wont show up. The people registering cant see it therefor it shows up as an error cause they cant enter anything.

Ive tried the troubleshoot and it didnt find the code i needed. Maybe the text in the template would be helpful thanks!

Did you add the code in the troubleshooting file to the templates as instructed?

Installed and working properly on 3.5.3. Keeping my fingers crossed for a reduction in the number of bots!

Thanks for the mod!

I just wanted to say excellent hack, I installed it quite some time ago, but every since I've had it it's proved it's weight in gold by keeping those pesky spammers away. Awesome hack :).

I just wanted to say you're a lifesaver!!
My server host demanded that I do something about all of the bounced back emails from the spambots and the 3.5.4 captcha wasn't doing anything.
I can't upgrade to the 3.7 beta as of yet which has this and recaptcha and the recaptcha mod only works with 3.6 so you really saved the day until I can get updated.
Thanks!!

Has been working great but all of a sudden the nospam question box in the registration page is missing and when you try to register is says you got the nospam question wrong. Anyone seen this?

Dang anyone?

Which Version of vB are you using? Did you alter any configuration, install or update other mods or templates before it stopped working?

I recommend you do the manual steps that are stated in integration.txt again, this looks as if there's just something not right with your templates, no big deal.

Hi,

Ive installed this and all went well but when i put through a test registration i can see the question and the answer box no problem. If i put in a wrong answer it tells me ive answered incorrectly but i leave the answer field blank it lets me register!

Any ideas on how to fix this? im using 3.5.4

3.5.4, haven't altered or installed any other mods. Also already tried the integration.txt file steps :(

I have it working on my site but we have a quick search button and it throws the error that the No Spam question wasn't answered correctly.

pwctoday.com is our forum.
I am not good with the coding, yet. So any help would be greatly appricated.

:)

Same exact problem, followed all the steps. 3.5.4.

Edit: $nospamquestion does not seem to be coming through. Any ideas?

Edit2: I just bypassed the problem by making it a single question and adding that question into the quick register template in the appropriate section.

Would like an actual fix at some point though.

Here's the code:

I am running 3.54 and would like to incorporate an image as mentioned above and paraphrased here:

"Or you can go with inserting a simple image with HTML and ask what is shown on the image..."

Can someone explain to me how that works? Do you just enter the HTML where the question goes? Something like this?

<img src="/images/validate/myimage.gif" border="0" /><br />What animal is in the picture?:goose

Thanks

Figured it out...Works like this:
<img src="/images/verify.jpg"/><br/>How many widgets do you see?:4:four:Four

Thanks - and I discovered where all my spam is coming from.

3.6.4 ok.

Hi all, I'm not sure if anyone reads this thread anymore but here is my problem..

I installed NoSpam! on 3.5.3. I went into the options and enabled it and entered in one question. I did not integrate any other hacks.

The question, however, does not show up on my registration page, neither does the answer box. But NoSpam! is definately activated because when I finish the registration I get a denial error saying I didn't answer the question correctly.

And before someone asks what my template looks like... I don't know what a template is. I thought it was the registration.php file but when I open it up it just has php code in it rather than web page code... So I don't know, maybe that's the template?

Thanks everyone

Thanks - I installed this on version 3.5.4 and it's working perfectly, except... it seems to have disabled the "Quick Reply" feature. I disabled NoSpam! temporarily, and the Quick Reply came back, so it must be what's causing it.

Any Ideas?
