Nadeemjp 10-02-2008 01:43 AM

I have installed it on my 3.7.3 and it works fine i guess.
however, i have tested it, it does stop when the answer is wrong. but it says refresh the question but there is no button to refresh. should it be displayed and only my system doesnt show it?? or there isnt any such button?

basically what i gathere is that if you type maths questions like this:

2 - 2 equals...:0:zero

then it should be fine. you can use any combinations. i used like 20 questions like this:)

Nadeemjp 10-02-2008 01:45 AM

Also, I would like to know that under the hint for questions it was written:

Wrtie "blubber" in the box.:blubber

but what i dont know is, where should i write this word blubber?

Nadeemjp 10-02-2008 01:49 AM

never mind, i figured it out:)

you can write in the following manner:
2 + 2 equals...:4:four
8 + 8 equals...:16:sixteen

these are for mathematical questions. then if you want to add text questions, write the following:
Please type "blubber" into the following box.:blubber
in other words, the text question could be anything like:

Type the name "Andrew" into the next box....:Andrew

or

What is the country where you live.....:Spain

In this way you can add any number of questions in here:)

barcena 10-02-2008 02:05 AM

Thank you very much. :)
Will all the questions appear at once or randomly?

Nadeemjp 10-02-2008 02:47 AM

As far as I understand, a single question at a time would appear.
If the registering person makes a mistake, then a message will appear (as mentioned in the attachments) and he/she will have to go BACK and refresh the page for a new question to be displayed

Questions appear once. The questions your referencing do not have to be used, they're just examples. It's just showing you how to format the questions in the Admin CP. In other words question here:answer here.

I would recommend against using math questions, as they're easy for bots to bypass.

This is in my templates but the field still does not appear in the registration page.

Charlie98902 10-02-2008 12:24 PM

A lot of new types of spamming going on so thanks for this mod. I do have it set to fill in profile fields too just to post etc.... most are .ru email addies and a whole lot of gmail addies as well.

fly 10-02-2008 01:09 PM

Ya, I've got a TON of registrations going on right now.

Just as another idea for NoSpam!, what if there was some sort of checkbox, radio button, etc that we could add? If this has been discussed and shot down, plz excuse me.

auctionguy 10-02-2008 03:14 PM

Thanks so much for this Mod!!! I was totally under attack until I installed this little gem!

This should be the Mod of the Month!

AWESOME!!

TrumpetMaster 10-02-2008 03:48 PM

This mod is great. I no longer need email confirmation. Thank you!

StonePilot 10-02-2008 04:46 PM

Excellent! I got 200+ spam registrations in 2 days. This stopped them alL!

barcena 10-02-2008 06:04 PM

I don't know what's going on lately w/ spams, i used to have the human verification and that was more than enough but now that's nothing.

vitafon 10-02-2008 06:32 PM

All my websites are being attacked big time. Looks like spammers declared war. So far core VB no-spam succumbs to suckers' tide. LOL.

ascender 10-02-2008 07:23 PM

Am just trying to install this but its not showing up so am looking in the register template to see where I can add "$human_verify", but can't seem to find where to put it so it appears underneath the image verification bit.

Edit: Have found it, but the NoSpam! questions still aren't showing on the new user registration page. I'm running 3.7.3 Patch Level 1.

merlin_de 10-02-2008 07:32 PM

I have this problem too with 3.7.2pl1
Could another hack be affecting this? Could a manual installation get round this, if so does anyone want to show how.

Strange, i turned it off and then back on again and it started to work.

Stanley Steamer 10-02-2008 09:41 PM

Installed.:up:
The authoritys should go after the companys that are paying the spammers to advertise their junk.
They aren't hard to find, just read the spam posts and there they are.
Use a spambot, get fined a million dollars.
That will stop it.

LadyBeth 10-02-2008 10:01 PM

Hoooray!!!!! It's working!!!!! I hate spammers!

Well, the link below and text that I'm quoting might answer your questions. :(

That's why I've never uninstalled this mod since I first added it to my forums. It's an essential piece of my forums to avoid spam.

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...5&postcount=97

Quote:

It does appear that a certain spam program has released an update in the last few days that is able to decipher the image captchas of gmail, Invision, PHPBB, and vBulletin. Since gmail is broken, the script can automatically create email addresses for email verification.

The update for this program states that it hasn't broken recaptcha, but it is only a matter of time (short time at best) before it is broken as well.

To continue to devise an image captcha, that is increasingly difficult for humans to decipher, leads to a captcha that only a computer can decipher. This is why I built the image captcha to be configurable by the end user.

If you are using the image captcha, change the fonts and the backgrounds. In your forums/images/regimage directory, you will find a fonts/ and a backgrounds/ directory. Remove all of the default fonts in the fonts directory and add a collection of your own .ttf fonts. You can get freeware fonts all over the web. Pick some that are a bit strange but still readible and stick them in the directory. The backgrounds are 201x61 jpg images. Create your own, I suggest putting some text on them, that will really confuse the script, just do it so that when the captcha text is added to it by vBulletin, it doesn't confuse your registrees. The system will automatically use the fonts and images that you add to the appropriate directories.

When using the QA system, don't create questions like these:

What is 2 + 2?
Please enter the word "brown".

The nefarious script at work here can most likely handle those questions. You must ask a question that doesn't give the answer in the question. I suspect something like "If you have three apples and eat one, how many do you have left?" would work.

Adding required fields will also no longer work. The script can handle the "required field missing" errors and resubmit with those fields filled in.

isn't there a question answer option in 3.7.2? what difference does this one make?

Well, for one, you can't use it AND captcha...

ccmoon 10-04-2008 04:14 AM

I just installed but this one is not working with 3.7.3

Rene Kriest 10-04-2008 06:08 AM

Seems to be a great tool. I use a similair one for my blogs.

Thank you!

PHILIPS-08 10-04-2008 06:38 AM

And for another, you can add multiple questions all at one time. HUGE time saver.

carrlos 10-04-2008 06:50 PM

I just had a major spam attack on my forum. 22 new users spaming the site. I stopped registration when it hit 22 but there was a new bot every 30 minutes or so like clock work. The funny thing is that I use Human Verification system CAPTCHA. It cannot be as good as we all thought. I will be installing this one. Thanks!

I had no spam 3.0 installed. Worked great at getting rid of spammers.
Now I've had a new attack. I upgraded to NoSpam 4.0, imported the XML but now NoSpam has a line through it and is not active. :confused:
I went to vb admin options and turned it on ... still the line is through the No Spam name in the VB/plugins and products/manage products screen
Anyone know why? And what I can do to fix it?

AdrianH 10-05-2008 05:48 PM

Uninstall and start again?

Excellent thought. I did that and got rid of the line through my No Spam add on.

Still No Spam is not asking the questions as expected. I added the questions after reinstalling and ensured it was turned on.
As a new user I'm not being asked the questions.

I turned off human verification options for registration as i do not want those impossible to read letters. Would that also turn off No Spam?
