I'[ve been using this mod for a long time and it's worked great. Unfortunately lately it seems the bots have figured it out. I'm getting all sorts of weird time zone registrants the lasts three weeks. +sigh+

Installed. Didn't have a problem until I changed my image setting to not have random shapes and slants. After that I got new spam members everyday.

I just finished reading all the way down to your post to find this mod MIGHT not be effective any more. Are others finding this true also? I was about to install it.

Worked a treat on 3.8.x
We're a UK board, so anything other than GMT was bounced off, thankfully
Can this be ported for version 4.x please?

Tested in vB4.0.2 PL4 - the hack itself works and displays:

Redirecting...

You have selected a banned timezone!


But this optional setting in ACP doesn't work...

Redirect User?
Enter the URL of which a user should be redirected to if they choose a banned timezone. Leave blank to display error page.


It merely gets ignored, at least that's what I've found under test conditions.
Hope this helps
