New Thread/Post Image Verification for Guests · **Released**: 11-21-2004

New Thread/Post Image Verification

Description:
This hack will add new a feature to new posts and new threads. When a guest is posting or making a new thread they will be asked to type in the text displayed in the image provided right of the text box. This image is the same exact kind of image used for image verification in vb's registration(its the exact code so i take no rights to saying the code is mine hehe

). Anyways this is useful for forums that allow posting for guests such as for feedback etc. and not letting bots being able to and not having to approve every single post. I made this hack personally stop this ad bot who kept posting on my site

You know...this axtually sounds very nice! It'll be a practical but annoying addition for guests, that doesn't take away their features, but still encourages registration!

T3MEDIA · #5 03-05-2005, 10:15 PM

Hey can you have this set for ever odd amount? like every three times or something?

I also would LOVE to have this for private messages

T3MEDIA · #6 03-17-2005, 09:39 PM

I know it was old but any ideas?

T3MEDIA · #7 09-23-2005, 01:53 AM

no ideas on every X post image v pops up? or doing this on private messages?

I have the first part but the second paste I am not sure where to put it (doing myself) for private messages.

Great hack, thanks! Works perfect for my project.

interfx · #9 01-03-2007, 09:50 AM
