Hi Tweakmonkey!
I installed this mod (3.6.0) and am having a different problem and a similar problem as the one that adwade was/is having.
1st. the mod worked just like you said it would. So I too adjusted the error message. The only problem in my Admincp >Language & Phrases > Phrase Manager > Phrase Type: (I did not have the "phrase type: Error Messages / invalidid" as a choice) SO, to find the actual phrase that was coming up, I created a new thread and got the error message and then searched in Phrases and found the phrase to edit. (invalidid > *inside* Front end Error Messages [probably the place you meant for us to edit in the first place).
Anyway, so I make the change as you suggest. I test the mod with a new thread using a spam keyword. IT WORKS! Then I test with a url. IT WORKS 2! I get really excited as I think - "Finally the end of my spammer issue". BUT then, I test the 'Quick Reply" function and the mod works, but posts the message for the spammer to see, just not for other members or guests -- and the spammer doesn't get the error message. It just appears that the post worked. The other issue is that when I go to moderate the post, I cannot see it in the regular forum pages although in the New Post indicator it shows a new post - but when I click the link to the new posts, nothing shows up. I have to log into the admincp to moderate the post.
2nd. issue. So, the quick reply made me try the post reply function. It performed the say way as the quick reply.
So, long story short: This mod seems only to work on New Threads. It sort of works on replies, but not like you intended --at least for me.
If I have screwed something up, let me know. Thanks so much for this modification! Even with the two small problems I have with it, it will help slow down the spam problem.
Warm Regards,
Kether
