VB's anti-spam features have never worked for me, but NoSpam! has worked brilliantly! Maybe there is some function on my board or server that isn't activated which allows spam bots to get through. Whatever it is, as soon as I upgraded to 3.7 without NoSpam! I started getting multiple spam posts and sign ups every day, just like I did before I installed NoSpam! I told VBulletin but they just bury their heads in the sand because 'it works for them'. I for one am extremely greatful for this hack so I will finally be rid of these blasted spam bots!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers!
