FROM:
====

PHP Code:

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->options['contactustype'] == 2 AND $vbulletin->options['gdversion']) 


TO:
==

PHP Code:

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->options['contactustype'] == 2 AND $vbulletin->options['gdversion']) 


Hope this helps.

Is this image verification mod possible to do for unregistered users also? We've gotten 33 of these in the past week, with more coming in daily. Definitely a bot, and from the IP addresses I've checked, they are all coming from web hosting companies. My guess is these are running as zombies on compromised web hosting accounts.

We rely on this Contact Us form to let anyone contact us, not just registered users.
