Thanks for the hack. Why does one need something like this?

To stop those stupid spam bots. :p (There is a new program that spams sites automatically for you. It makes the account, posts, etc.)
I don't need it anyway.

Well, if the bot can read the CAPTCHA in order to register -- why can't it read it in order to login?

Well, the bot hasn't been programmed to do CAPTHA at login, it was made to do it at registration.

nice

thanks

nice stuff mate. So far the nospam has helped.. but if things get worse, I'll neeed 2 use this.

Yeah i would only use this if your board is being targeted by spam bots. other wise it will annoy members, because even I sometimes find it hard to read those captcha images lol

Excellent work. Thank you for it I have installed. :up:

The NoSpam plugin works Tip Top!

We should not have to make our registered users enter something extra just just because of the spam bots.

I say this will be a great add-on if the NoSpam addition starts to fail.

Good work anyways, your efforts are appreciated!

<u>One bug found:</u> I am already logged in, if the Captcha appears.
All what I must do, is just click in navigation on the forum link to bypass it.
I found it accidentally during intensive tests with it. The idea is very good,
but the Captcha should appear before my status is set to logged in, otherwise
members will just click on a link to bypass the Captcha window.

I'm looking into it.

Hack Updated!

Cool idea. Question though, would it be possibly to only have it displayed for certain usergroups (admins,mods)? Or only include certain users for that matter?

If only you looked at the Admin CP Options....Although you haven't installed it yet (I know ;)). Yes, you can exclude certain usergroups and exclude individual users. I might include functionality to include instead of exclude in the future.

but the person who want to run like those spam scripts can login normaly and then run his spam script !!! so the cookies will remain active and wont ask him again about the six digits ???

what about that ??

or its better to manage a time between every post ?

There's nothing to stop them from doing that, even with other hacks that prevent spam bots. So you can't stop it...

Thanks for this!

Thank you for fixing it, this is now a very useful hack. ;)

if you make it require the correct captcha code to create a valid session then it would be possible. Because you need the session cookie set and have the value in the database before you can be considered as logged in.

Huh? What are you talking about? I've fixed that problem...

This mod is OK fro VB 3.7.0 Beta 4????

Just so you know, The "Stay Logged In" feature doesn't work with this Modification. So a user will have to login to the website each time they close the browser and re open it. Which will annoy alot of users.

Also if the user doesn't enter the right string, once they click another page they are logged in.

I'll have a look at it. I cannot promise anything, as I am very busy.

I have changed the setting for image type and now no captcha image appers which means i am now locked out of the acp and my users cannot log in either.

what can i do?

Add this to your config.php:

Does it with the v3.7?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know. Best way to find out is to try.

not working for 3.7x

Hello!

Installed this mod now i cant access my forum.

Really need help with this.

Look at the image

Add this at the end of your config.php:
And then remove the modification, also remember to then remove the line again. In vB 3.7, the human verification system has changed.

Thanks dude.

It worked just fine :)

How can we manually update it to latest version ?

It will most likely not work in 3.7+ without some (major?) changes, as these versions contain an overhaul of the human verification functions.

Are you willing to update this Add on please.

Time is limited on my end. I wish I could always code and update my free modifications, but reality is that I have paid commitments to attend to, as well as real life! :p

is the best :) if u can make for 3.8.x version ur the best ! :)

Is this mod compatible with vB 3.8.7 or is there a different version to use for 3.8.*? Thanks.

no, i think only 3.6. if you want this mod for 3.8 or more, please locate and replace with new name in 3.8


please help me locate human verification functions FILE in vbb 3.8.4?
