Chinese Spam killing my bandwidth

[SirTalksalot]

Thanks guys,

I've tried Cloudflare on my main site, and the effects have been so dramatic I have changed all my sites to work through it. What an incredible service. I don't know why this...

Hi,

As I have said in my post, I have tried this already. It doesn't work as it takes less than a day for them to find a load of new IP addresses to use....

I have about every heavy duty anti-spam software going on my site. They generally do a good job despite the fact they block lots of genuine users too. But I'm still getting (literally) millions of chinese...

If there's so many threads, doesn't that tell you that maybe you should put some information on your web site instead of writing condescending replies? Considering the price of upgrading, it might be...

Hi,

I can't find any info or indication that the CMS part of VB exists any more, was it written off as a bad idea? The VB5 demo doesn't appear to have it, I was going to upgrade one of my...

Designing VB so that these problems don't occur in the first place might be a good start.

As I said, and as is clearly being ignored, not one of the previous versions of VB I have installed...

I have been using VB for 6-7 years, and have successfully installed/moved servers/upgraded VB on many many occasions over the years. There would always be occasions when there were problems, but the help...

[SirTalksalot]

Please don't think I'm being rude, but this is a joke! Is there no way you can narrow it down better then that? I have installed VB (of varying versions up to the current) and had them running successfully...

[SirTalksalot]

Just tried this, no difference....

[SirTalksalot]

Hi,

I've just made a fresh install of VB4. For some reason the admincp is just a blank page. I have tried uploading the fils again and made sure they are in Asci, but no difference. I have...

[SirTalksalot]

Ah ha!

Thank you so much. I would have spent days trying to work this out. Great stuff. ...

[SirTalksalot]

I tried, but no difference....

[SirTalksalot]

Regardless, the template is shown as unaltered and it's impossible to revert it as it appears to be as per the original design....

[SirTalksalot]

I'm using 'Members who have Visited'

But I don't see how that would effect the posting templates particularly....

[SirTalksalot]

Yeah there is, that's a little weird, non of the templates have been modified to cause that. Any suggestions?...

[SirTalksalot]
