Hmm, it's on. Well the types of usernames they register with and the certain sections they post in make me believe they are too stupid to be human. It could be my questions, ill add more complex ones.

Happy to read its working.. but.. its also a draw back..
if you have for example 3 languages installed, you also have to accept at least 3 answers for every question. .. that makes it a little easier for bots as some may consider it as a password and use brute force.... . :confused:

btw a question.. as the difficulty of the questions often comes up.

isnt it rather the length of the answer? because in my understanding, either someone understands the question or doesnt.. if he doesnt then the difficulty doesnt matter.

but if he does he can answer any question.. or am I wrong??
thats why i meant.. the length of the answer might rather be important.. rather than the difficulty... (a program will take longer to find a fitting word with 8 letters than a three letter word)

Well, the thing is that no computer is going to be programmed to sit there cycling through possible answers to NoSpam! questions, especially if the questions change randomly. It makes much more economical sense to just make it give up and go to a forum that doesn't have NoSpam! installed. Remember that to prevent a thief from breaking in, you only need your house to be a bit more secure than your neighbour's. ;)

This is awesome! Thank you so much. :up:

Hello,

Yes, the issue was that it just wasn't appearing in Opera at all. It displayed fine in every other browser, but for some reason, it didn't display in Opera. I went ahead and redownloaded Opera and it started working. I had even emptied the cache and temp files to see if it was just a quirk. Who knows, but it displays in Opera now and that is all I was concerned about.

Very nice - this is great! I added like 10 questions!

Thank You!

BTW, it would be nice to have a link to refresh the question like the image has... ;)

Just wanted to post up a thanks to the developer of this plugin. It has worked WONDERS for our forum. We used to get between 3 and 4 new Spam registrations each day and in the past week since I installed it, we have had NONE. Excellent job. :up:

Ok...I've been pounding my head against the wall.

We recently upgraded to 3.6.5 and for months have been plagued with spam, it's worse than ever now.

So I downloaded the NoSpam! 3.0, uploaded the xml, and now I'm lost.

Everything is present in the admin, but I can't seem to get it to display.

The install instructions don't seem to tell me a lot, they end with a nice THATS IT! and you would think things would work.

Which template files do I need to edit? The implimentation file discribes it's use with the quick register hack at the top. That confused me, because I don't have that.

I don't see any option to select the pages it appears on. Just if I want it on a specific 4 pages which looks to be present in the previous versions changelog.

Do I need captcha enabled?

I apologize for my retardation. It's frustrating cause so many users have given praise on ease of installation and how good a job this has done. But the instructions and troubleshooting are just not clear to me.

There should be a file in the NoSpam! zip you got called troubleshooting.txt. This describes the template edits you need to make to make NoSpam! appear on each of the supported pages if it does not work immediately upon installation. Follow the instructions for those pages you have enabled where it is not working. The integration file is about integrating NoSpam! with other hacks and is not relevant to your case if you don't need it integrated with other hacks.

Those four options are the pages you can select for it to appear on, as they are the only places in the forum at which I could picture NoSpam! as being remotely useful. The change since version 2.0 is that now you can choose to disable it for one or more of those pages, while previously it would always appear on all of them. Make sure you at least have it set to be enabled at registration, and perhaps the others if you would like that; now follow the instructions for template edits in the troubleshooting.txt file you downloaded for each page you enabled where it is not appearing. For example, if you enabled it at registration but not at the Contact Us page, you should follow the instructions under REGISTRATION, but not those under CONTACT US.

I am running 3.6.5 vbulletin and your latest version of NoSpam and I had it working fine, for reasons unknown I no longer get the prompt during new user registration to enter the text for Nospam verification. I have the little image thing that the users have to type but the field and question are missing. I have it enabled in the admincp and the new user registration fails with the notice that I didn't answer the NoSpam question...I never got the chance
