Please disregard my previous post, I had edited the wrong template - it works great now.

The best thing is that for every spammer who now gets caught later on in the moderation queue through the Prevent Spam plugin, I know he actually went through the effort of signing up manually :D

Uh.... I think people have actually asked for this before - how to make the NoSpam system work on the quick register form... The link: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...quick+register

At anyrate - This mod is JUST AWESOME - I've been using it on 3.5.x since it 1st was introduced...

I HAVEN'T HAD ONE SINGLE SPAM REGISTRATION SINCE INSTALLING = Excellent excellent work my friend ;)

This should be Mod of the Month :)

Jacquii.

I support this :D

Where can I vote?

If you want to nominate it for Mod of the Month, the link is in the Mod Options on the right of the first post, below the "Mark as Installed" link. :)

Thanx ANTIALIASIS for all of your work on this EXCELLENT modification.
Just spent the last hour or so customizing the vBAdvanced for QuickRegister!
Finally have it the way I like - Thanx to your diligent work and advice in the 3.5 NoSpam thread!

KUDOS and Cheers for a fine modification - should be "out-of-the-box" vB!
Thanx,

Jacquii.

ps - strangely enough I still don't see the vote option:

Hmm, funny. I see "Nominate for MOTM"... o.o You can try asking the vBulletin.org support.

Unless it's the style you're using... Are you on Smooth Blue? If not, try that.

I have been subject to a rash of spambot registrations recently. I just insalled NoSpam!

Thanks for the mod.

fos....

We haven't problems with bots yet, but I thank you kindly for releasing this.

:bunny:

Just updated as suddenly I'm getting spams from the contact us page...Hope it works!

Thanks again for the great mod!

Works like a charm. Thanks. Clicked install and MotM.

Spammers are screwed with this one. I doubt they can get around this now. There is no way unless you ask something stupid like: What's the name of USA president? Bush. Color of the sun? yellow. :) Dig that spammers! R.I.P. spammers.

Thank you so much! I hope this works. Installed on all three forums and it was my first go at installing a product, took me awhile but I got it.

Worked on 3.6. and 3.5 versions ( did need the $nospamfield code on 3.5).

*fingers crossed*

If you installed the hack specifically for 3.5, you do not need to make a manual template edit. If you installed the one found in this thread, however, you do.

installed and thank you very much :cool:

was have'n a hard time with the .ru .de .ee bots.

seems they all went away after this install ;)

thx

Your efforts are very much appreciated!

I added this two weeks ago and spam registrations are down 90%. Just the person spammers and that is way down - thanks!

Thanks for the hack. Hope it works good :)

Multiple choice would be a very bad method. Bots could just select them randomly and get through. Free entry is the absolute best (infinite possibilities!).

Excellent!! My forum and contact form has been getting drilled by spammers.

Thanks for the great hack!

Tim

I have been using this for some days now. Not a one spam bot registration.

I love you. I truly do. :P

may bad...issue resolved

ummm my bad...I clicked the wrong xml file.

Great Hack. Thanks alot..you got my vote

I have to say again..GREAT hack..I installed this yesterday and am giggling all day as the Spam bots (up to 10 at a time) are getting error after error.

Thanks AGain

ClicksInstall.

Nominated for MOTM.

Would have your babies if possible.

Thanks

Great Mod. I love it.

*installed.

great mod indeed thx so much

spam is gone 100% here hehe

this could also be used to password your forums. if you follow me..

Not a single bot registration since I installed this a few weeks ago. Thank you!

Alrighty, imported this, setup the answer, checked all the templates and such but when I go to register an account, it still comes up with just the catcha confirmation, doesn't have the questions show up.

What could I possibly have screwed up or not looked at (everything is 'active')?

Installed and nominated - brilliant!
Thanks :)

Nominated and installed and printed in gold leaf and all that :)

Always hated the Captchas, usually takes me two times to read and type the right letters.
Some of them I never got like the myspace one and some of them are just anooying. Are they case sensitive? And if so is that a I or a l l'm seeing?

This is the perfect solutions AND it lets you have some fun too!
typing silly messages for people to repeat, what more can you ask from a security system lol.

I added a question and it has no answer, but I don't give a shit. Just having some fun......

Question: Type in your wife and or girlfriends cup size.

A few possibilities. Have you modified the register template at some point?

If all else fails, try manually inserting $nospamfield just above $imagereg in the template.

Does this work with all vbulletin 3.6x version? I have two forums at 3.6 and 3.61 and don't want to pay to have them updated.

Also, have you recommended this to the vBulletin team for actual use in later versions?

It should work with all 3.6.x, yes. I think I originally made this when I had 3.6.0 or 3.6.1.

I haven't specifically spoken to the vBulletin team about it, but from what I've seen on vBulletin.com, they seem to be bent on just using the CAPTCHA system and then suggesting a kind of crude, manual, less flexible way to do what is basically what this hack does on the registration page.

Has anyone tested the registration completion rate of this system versus CAPTCHA versus no verification?

Not too sure if this has been pointed out but it says that if they are unable to successfully answer the NoSpam! question to contact the administrator.

The problem there is that that NoSpam! question is also added to the contact us form... thus there is no way for that user to contact the admin.

Maybe in the next version allow us to disable the appearance of the nospam question on certain screens?

I was kind of thinking they could contact by other means, heh. But yeah, that kind of makes sense. Disabling them on a page-by-page basis would be a good idea for the next version.

where does it say that? Not on mine it don't.

Edit: never mind, saw the message if they failed the test. LOL. Here's a suggestion. Try inputing questions your possible future members could actually answer. :p

I think that this would be easier to crack, if you look at the source code and find every possible algorithem and then you can make a php file to answer these questions, or most of them.
