This MOD is one of the best MODs I have installed BY FAR! - Works PERFECTLY!

We went from about 8 spammer sign-ups per day (with human verification controls in place) to only one registration getting through since we have installed the MOD, and by the time I removed the user, they had already been added to the blacklist!

As of today, we have had this installed for about two weeks and have had over 840 spammer registrations blocked! - Kudos to the developer!

For me, it doesn't work on vB4, RC4. It makes anyone unable to register and I get this:

Quote:

Warning: require_once(includes/functions_vbsfs.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/register.php(317) : eval()'d code on line 3

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/functions_vbsfs.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home3/XXXXXXX/public_html/home/register.php(317) : eval()'d code on line 3
Any chance this product will receive a full update and compatibility fix with the vB4 suite/forums?

Thanks in advance.

@deityx, was this an upgrade or a fresh install of vb? it works perfect on vb4 rc4 for me. try uninstalling the mod from admin console, reupload the files and install and see how it goes.

Oki, thanks for reply. It was a clean install of RC2, then upgrade to RC4. I will try what you said :)

@skippybosco: THANKS, your suggestion worked like a charm! :) Registration works now and spammers are blocked \o/

On multiple boards that I help administer, there have been several complaints per day that new registrations are being blocked as "spammers". I haven't reproduced it myself, but something seems to be going on.

We haven't upgraded to the .61 release, still running .6

I've had to turn off the modification in order to let people register. I have tested both their IP addresses as well as their usernames and emails with StopForumSpam, and it was negative on all counts.

@BillP: You can check your StopForumSpam logs in your vB Admin Control Panel to see why the user was blocked (IP, Email or Username depending on your configuration)

Where do those logs show up? Sorry, don't seem to see them under Statistics and Logs on the CP.

Thanks in advance...

Never mind, when the product plug-in is disabled, the logs disappear. I enabled the product and now I can see the logs.

They were all being blocked on username. The username space got polluted with reasonable, good names.

So we're now only rejecting on IP and email
