Glad ya like it. I figured there was a few issues with the older ones, so I made this up. Thanks for marking as installed. :)

But there's something funny that just happened. The mod created three welcome threads without user actually being registered.

Time stamps of threads are:

18.12.2013, 16:21:24
18.12.2013, 16:21:33
18.12.2013, 16:21:34

In place of user name, there's nothing, as no user actually registered. I'm using option that they have to confirm email address.

At that time one user probably tried to confirm email address, or did something, I have for that user this info in ACP:

Time of last activity 18:21 (no seconds in ACP).

So, there's something that this user did what triggered creation of thread although there were not actual successful email activation.

I need to mention, on my site there are sometimes situations when users post double posts when they try to post single. This is vB bug, or something, as this should be prevented if they try to post same post too soon. I use vB 4.1.12.

So, this three threads could be result of this, or something related.

Anyway, part of checking if user actually confirmed email address has an error, or at least it didn't worked on my site for some reason.

I actually had 5 recent threads created with that just said, "has just joined my site" with no username...weird eh? ....

Hopefully I can track it down this weekend.

Good stuff ozzy ..I will keep an eye for more and I will see if I can maybe catch some kind of pattern or something...thanks Ozzy ..

I found what triggers this behavior. It's described here in post #70. I added additional instructions in email for email confirmation, hopefully it would help my users confirm emails more often.

Ok ozzy, so I got about 15 new threads created my Man, they all have the same IP of :

The IP Address is: 66.249.73.147
The host name is: crawl-66-249-73-147.googlebot.com

https://www.cagclan.com/community/th...d-CAGCLAN-com-!

Every single one of these threads without a username has googlebot.com triggering it. Hope that helps you out.

Hmmm, then they are somehow triggering the link. Do you have your register page in your robots text?

Code:

User-agent: *



Disallow: /register.php

It was but I have Rename register.php by BOP5 installed so the register.php was now different. I did add it to my robots.txt file now, is that the reason for this?

In your case it may be possible,lets see what happens now that you have the newly named file in the robots.txt.
