vbulletins captcha is not case sensitive, and if there is an option i haven't set mine to be.

dunno what you mean but some bots are programmed to read the register captcha and they mass sign up, or the spammer makes accounts manually. Then his "bot" reads the account list and logs in and spams. This will prevent the second step so the spammer would actually have to signup manually and login manually, in other words no chance of spam from a bot.

very interesting

Ok, my bad CS.

Coders Shack · #8 07-05-2007, 06:59 PM

theres one more thing i would need to do to make it impossible for the bot to spam, Auto-logout after registration.

Ill look into this later.

I have been getting heavily spammed by boots so i needed to do something that could stop past accounts and new accounts.

Can you show me how can I temporarily disable this via phpMyAdmin, so I can apply the upgrade you provided?

Thx

go to your config.php and add this line:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

remove it after your upgraded.
