Did you have to do any editing...because, try as I may...I can't get the image to display.

I use Form Hack 4.0 and have made the integration changes. The form I want to use it on is not named "form"...it's named something else.

I also had the No Spam settings enabled - "Yes" and also enabled for guest posts.

The form I'm using is a link submission form I generated and allows all but Banned usergroups.

Needless to say...when installed...no question is displayed, but when I click submit on a blank form...I see the No Spam error message, but it doesn't conform to the rest of my forum pages.

I give up!

What kind of questions are you asking? That might matter. I'm sure by now they can be programmed to reply "four" when the question is "what's two plus two" or to type "four" when the question is, "type the word four."

I change my questions from time to time anyway, but none of them have the answer in the question and I haven't gotten a single bot registration that I'm aware of. And when I first started out I was getting about ten an hour. (Don't even know how they found me.)

What edits did you make?

I use 3.6.7 PL1 with Form Hack 4.0 and have not been able to get this to work correctly. I can't get the question or the field to display.

I have Form Hack configured to allow all but Banned usergroups, so my form will be available to all who visit the form.

Once this hack is installed and you click "Submit" on a blank form, No Spam does try to validate the question and returns an error page that doesn't conform to the rest of my forum pages as far as style is concerned. ..just the error message text on a white background with a couple of navbar links.

Any help is appreciated...I don't have much hair left:)

Didn't have much to begin with...:D

I need to turn off NoSpam for guest searches - Anyway to do that?
I've recently put up a search form like vB.org - so it's necessary that the search go through instead of going directly to the NoSpam error page.

Any help appreciated = Thanx!

My guess is that they have figured out a way around this. That or they are flat out guessing the answer to my quesitons, which I doubt. Or, these are humans who are using automated software to help the registration process (like autofill) so they are able to actually see the question and answer.

At any rate, it went from about 6 a day to 0 in 4 days (post install) to about 6 just today again. Bummer.

Just use same technique spammers use. Form questions with combination of numbers, words, spaces and characters. Make sure they are human friendly, but at the same time squeezes the sweat out of the spammer, for example, twentyeight 'p lus' eight "minu s" 9 =...
make sure you have plenty of questions without dup answers. They need to be a numeric value, so users don't have to guess the format.:D

I give up!

I had this working since 3.6.4
I upgraded to 3.6.7PL1 and it's still working...i haven't checked since.

Asides from a few human spammer, i have ZERO bot since installed this.
