Received my second cheque today in the post for $207 (month). You need scale to pull anything away significant away from this but it adds a nice new revenue stream to forum network owners such as myself.

No. This is not working on 4.1.10

Even upon a fresh, clean, test install

You guys should really consider updating this plugin. I was looking at the how it work and it's doing some really silly things, like connecting to the database and running a query on every page the captcha is used on just to determine what version of vbulletin is being used. I modified class_humanverify_solvemedia.php so it doesn't do this.

You should also consider putting any html into a template so it is easily editable.

At the very least make separate versions for vbulletin 3 and 4 to eliminate that database connection & query.

We have upgraded to 4.1.10 and SolveMedia is no longer available as a selection so we have gone back to regular Captcha.

Marked as Uninstalled.

So does this work with 4.1.10 or what? Can someone Solve Media confirm?

The Solve Media mod is compatible with all versions of vBulletin starting with 3.7. In order to display the "Solve Media" option in the Human Verification Manager, the Solve Media mod makes certain database changes. The changes are overwritten by vBulletin during an upgrade. The mod will continue to work after an upgrade, only the option will disappears from the Human Verification Manager.

If you want to restore the option to the Human Verification Manager, follow these steps:
1. Switch to a different Human Verification Library.
2. Uninstall the mod using the vBulletin Product Manager.
3. import product-solvemedia.xml using the vBulletin Product Manager.
4. Set your API keys and make any desired configuration changes via AdminCP > Settings > Options > SolveMedia Options
5. Set the Human Verification Library back to Solve Media using the Human Verification Manager.
