I too am getting them again. I am sure they are bots because I have a required field (zipcode) and they ALWAYS enter HTTP: (5 letters, because I set it to 5 characters)

:(

I like this idea, my i have a slow server and time to time, people tell me the image is not showing, and since this is a text style, it can work 4 me...

Thanks Installed

I have encountered a similar problem. I was thinking .. how can it be possible to bypass my custom question?

Hey guys. I dont want to hijack this thread but if anyone knows if something like this exists for wordpress, could you please PM me. Thanks.

I have had a recent problem with this hack in which after I installed it, it prevented any activation emails going out, I have taken a look to see why it could be conflicting with activation emails but haven't been able to work it out.

I have now had to disable this hack but if anyone can help me with the problem that would be greatly appreciated.

Yah, I have the most recent version on one of my forums and I'm getting a few bots now. But on one of my older forums using version 2 does not have any problems.

How do the bots still get through? I'm using an addition question.

I was totally flooded with bots, and this has stopped every one for the past couple months.

Some bots are human powered and will always be able to get in. The AI type it should stop if you make a little more then simple question.

For instance, one of my 10 questions is:

"Please type in the word scambaiter in the below box"

So is there a way to tell if the bot is AI or not? Perhaps I'll have to look into making a usergroup that can't post hyperlinks until they have a certain number of posts...

I've been getting a lot of spam lately. I even changed my questions but they still seem to be getting through.

Is there any change we can use the same for Vb 3.0.8

I can not upgrade to 3.5 series because of huge customizations I have done.
