Hi I am using this product for the first time and have been banned with my account manager, where you keep the IP banned? I looked in my SQL and i dont find it. This happen because i try to create a new user and when i finally complete with the password, the username (before the mail verification), i press the button to finish and nothing happen, no one notification, only nothing, and later my IP was banned.

[ozzy47]

This has been reported before, and I know the developer was looking into it.

But for now you can disable your mods:

Open your includes/config.php file and below<?php add this line:

PHP Code:

 define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


So it looks like this:

PHP Code:

<?php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
/*=================================================  =====================*\
|| ##################################################  ################## ||
|| # vBulletin 4.2.2

Then navigate to your ACP, disable the mod in the Plugins & Products, then remove the define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); from your config file. If you have never edited your config file read this, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=308457

Now since this mod is causing you problems, you can read my suggestions to protect against spam here, http://ozzmodz.com/showthread.php/50...g-Spam-Is-Over

[EstebanCampos]

Actually i tried what you say, but still my ip is banned , but well i disable the plugin. Thanks for the suggestions, i am gonna read them.

[ozzy47]

So you did as I suggested, and disabled the mod, and your IP is still banned?

[EstebanCampos]

Yeah, maybe i can try directly with the mysql?, but i dont find the table

[ozzy47]

I am going to take a stab at this and say the table, phpkd_vbsas_confirm

[EstebanCampos]

That table is for the "pass" given to the users with the new system of autentification for email. I check all the tables and nothing , i change the router (temporal solution)

[ozzy47]

Then I would still disable the mod, since you are having issues with it, and then follow my suggestions for other means of spam prevention.

[EstebanCampos]

When this plugin blocks a IP, this IP appears here:

Admin>V Bulletin options>User banning options>banned IP addresses

So i delete my IP from the list

[ozzy47]

Ahh ok, I did not know this used the default system, glad you found it.
