This is the perfect Spambots Killer.

But how to change the normal Invitations to the Invitations where a Invitationcode is needed?

And BTW - the navbar Link is missing in vBadvanced.

ima try this out, thank you

[sensimilla]

Excellent work, Thanks

Excellent as always Cyb mods.

If you allow a suggestion. To make this mod even more perfect, something like verify e-mail before getting access to registration page would be fantastic.

One of the anoying things with Vb is people giving fake e-mails when they attend to registration.

Cheers

Thanks, great work as always.

here are a couple requests for the next revision

• check the emaill address in the outgoing invitation against the user database to make sure the email address is not already associated with a user.
• use the referral ID of the sender in the outgoing invitation request so the sender will get credit for the referral. Example: http://www.domain.com/forums/register.php?referrerid=551 (you could make this an on/off option in the setup)
• Put the outgoing email text in mod's VB Options like you did with the Advanced Forum Rules mod. I would be nice to be able to change the text of the email without having to edit and reinstall the xml

Just my $0.02, thanks again for the great mods!

1. Invitation will just be ignored if you are invited to forum where you are already member.

2. This is already implemented. When user accepts invitation and register, inviter is marked as referral.

3. Message can be modified/translated in Phrase Manager. There is no need to change original XML. Editing phrases in original XML is also not recommended because of several reasons... And it's better to keep this in phrases to allow people with several languages installed to have all translations available.


You're welcome.
