Any ideas??

Consider seeing the smilies as an 'undefined' error. Instead of saying that you see smileys. Same thing though - something is wrong. Not real helpful I know.

I don't think anyone but admins can admin this mod out of the box.

Could this mod be affecting the fact that CMS and Blogs are not open to unregistered users, although I've set them to be so?

Thanks for this.

I wanted to use this quote to see if someone can give me an answer. Maybe Valter can answer this? How secure is this invite code and how difficult would it be for a spammer to duplicate or manipulate? Is the code generated specific to my forum by the product?

I installed this and I think it's great (using 4.0.3) and I am not having any problems. I just wonder how well these invitation codes will hold up to spam. I've had about 2500 SPAM users join in the past couple years and I'd like to think this is almost foolproof but I've worked with other measures that didn't remedy the problem. Since I installed this I did my best to delete all of the problematic users before allowing new registrations, but I'm skeptical over the security. Any answer to this would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot Valter. This is one of the best mods for VB4.

any chance this can support multiple answers on registration question(s)?

especially due to being case sensitive

I use this mod for both of my web sites. Great mod.
