^ I'm having the same problem. Running 4.1.12.

First time I've used this mod. Does anyone have a link to the previous version of the mod?

Edit... according to this post, the questions can be edited through the "QL links"...

...to which most people say, "eh? what? QL? Quite Lovely?"

Apparently, the mod can be managed outside of ACP via the Quick Links menu on the navbar. The mod has to be switched on for this to show.

Author should update the front page with this info, if the ACP links can't be fixed.

I have used this mod, but bots are able to sign up still, I added 3 questions, and there still able to sign up I did stop stop them from posting and wrote my own program to stop them from using my blog, but I still can't get them to stop signing up...

I used to use PHPbb and I stopped them all together, I'm a little confused why Vbulletin, and its mods are having a big issue with this issue , if anyone can offer any help to stop this I would be greatful.

Thanks.

PS I been using this mod and it does not help at all.

You're confusing the bots of yesteryear with today's human spammers. There is no way you can stop humans from signing up because a forum requires it.

Using this mod, by adding toughest questions I could able to reduce bot registration by 85%. And try to add more than 5 questions.

@Valter, I want to ask you something.
Is it possible to make invitated user registration only. Or allow registration for invited guest even registration closed. And I cannot understand the invitation code theory when, the registration form does not have any option to mention the invitation code. Anyway you doing great job dude. Your modifications rock. Good luck.

Are the answers to the questions case sensitive?

If you "Search this mod" in the upper right you'll see the answer is Yes.

But vb4 has had it's own Human Verification system for a while so unless you're running an old version of vb there's no need to use the random questions in this mod. I don't think the vb answers are case sensitive but it's been a while since I tested it. Not a big deal if it is as you can enter multiple answers.

On selected mail provider or your own mailboxes, comes to nothing.
