I use both and no biggy for my registrations.

I'm having huge problems with this. For some reason, with NoSpam installed, there was no verification option at all showing in the registration form, and users couldn't send the form because they got an error telling them that they hadn't completed the image verification [sic].

I made sure all references to image verification were turned off. No result. I switched image verification back on and disabled NoSpam. Still nothing. In desparation I uninstalled NoSpam, but still there is no verification showing in the registration form.

I've tried reading through the forum, as well as the docs, but nothing seems to match the problems I'm facing (the instructions in troubleshooting.txt, for example, seem to bear no resemblance to the contents of my register.php - or is this not the right file?)

Sorry if I'm being incredibly dumb but I'm absolutely desperate, as noone can register and we have a big project just starting that requires use of a forum.

Many many thanks,

Michael

We've been running this hack on our 3.6.1 board for the past six weeks and love it. It's taken care of 95% of our Spam problems and has been fantastic. However, this week we needed to begin moderating new user posts. We changed the permissions in vBulletin and set up a "promotion" system.

We thought everything was working properly. However, it turns out that new threads by new members are going to the "moderate posts" queue but replies from new members on existing posts are not going to the moderation queue. After the process of elimination, the problem appears to be with this hack. When we disable this hack, both new member threads and replies are going properly to the moderation queue.

Does anyone know a way around this issue or anything we can do to fix this? We love "No Spam" and hate to give it up. Others have possibly run into this same problem and can maybe suggest ways we can make it work.

What a great tool and easy to use. I was really getting frustrated by some of the new tactics to get by what I had put in place to stop SPAM registrations and contact emails. (hundreds per day). This mod completely (and I mean completely) eliminated that problem.

Thanks for sharing such a great tool!

Proper ImageVerification is still 99% effective without this modification, but I'm glad to see its getting use :)

When we upgraded to 3.6.4 months ago we were getting many bots before we installed this mod...

Beg to strongly disagree with you. I know what my 3.6.5 Spam situation was before I installed this.

LOL, Why do I smell the company line with that statement :) nothing wrong with that but I will be surprised if the company are not actively looking at this mod for inclusion into the core code.

Before I installed this hack I was getting bombarded by bots.

It is a brilliant addition. Just brilliant. The fact that you can personalise it to your peculiar target audience makes it impossible for bots to crack it, unless it is coded for your board specifically...And that makes no sense of course. I own 4 VB licenses and this thing is saving me hours fighting spam daily. They'd better consider buying it and adding it to the core code.

Great work buddy.
