No need to update.....
I have installed this on vB 4.0.8 and it is ever since running.
Updated vB every time and running now without any problems on vB 4.2.0 PL3 since several months.

In the second step, I think I see a typo in the instructions.

Under b) Find:
<input type="submit" class="button" value="{vb:rawphrase complete_registration}" tabindex="1" accesskey="s" />

You have:
Change to:
<input type="submit" class="button" name="timeremaining" value="{vb:rawphrase complete_registration} in {vb:raw vboption.StopBotRegMinTime}" tabindex="1" accesskey="s" onsubmit"submit_form()") />

The "onsubmit" is missing the =

The instructions needed an update for 4.2 templates. The product name needed attention and the version check needed attention. You may want to just double check things. Thanks.

I just updated the zip with that fixed. Thanks for the heads up.

Also, since I upgraded, I'm getting an error on the REPLACE statement:

Code:

REPLACE INTO stopbotsregistry (hash,rf_name,rf_value)

        values(

        '[Redacted]',

        '[Redacted]',

        '[Redacted'

        );

The MySQL error I'm getting is:

Code:

Unknown column 'rf_name' in 'field list'

The only columns in that table are:

Code:

hash, regtime, uf_name, uf_value

In the updated files, I'm seeing "rf_name" in 3 different files for a total of 8 instances. Also, "rf_value" appears in some of those files as well. Was there a database change that just didn't take? If I change the query to match the columns in the table, will that fargle anything up?

Somewhere along the line I think the upgrade procedure was to remove the product to remove the DB table and then re-install the product to create the new DB table.

The fix should be uninstall the product and re-install the product. Let us know it that works. There is no data in the table that won't be recreated.

Yeah, in looking at my setup a little more closely, I noticed 2.0.2 was still installed.

Uninstalled, reinstalled, am waiting now to see if there are any problems.

Thanks for pointing out my PEBKAC moment. :)

I have had this mod for a while, it has saved me so many hours work getting rid of spammers, when I have had it off after a crash et al I'd get flooded...JUST upgraded to 4.2pl3 and will be installing the upgrade tomorrow I hope.

I have had a few sneaking thru so it will be interesting to see how it responds, I will report back

You should force the vB registration form on your forum to use this mod with FB or else you are relying on FB to give you real members.

This is designed to stop remotely submitted forms by installing random data fields in the registration form. It's one tool in the process of stopping spam.
