Spambots hammering registration form

[PharaohsVizier]

Thanks for the reply, I took a glance through and most of these seem like features in Spam-o-matic (which has been great). The problem isn't so much that they are registering and getting through, it's...

Hi,

I've been having some trouble with spambots for some time now, but over the last week it's been getting especially bad. In the past, as advised here, I set up a newbie group and got...

I'm using akimset, is that good?

[PharaohsVizier]

I appreciate that but moderating every user is not something I'm keen on doing. It's not only a bit of a workload, but members also like instant access rather than waiting for it.

Alright I'll try some add-ons tonight, but just as an FYI 171 spam blog posts last night

[PharaohsVizier]

Thanks for the quick reply, immediately implemented it, let's hope the board survives the night... :P

I'm not sure what's happened, but in the past week, I've been hit with loads and loads and loads of spam on my blog. Generally I get one spam post maybe every week or two, however it's skyrocketed to...

On the front page too?

[PharaohsVizier]

Thanks, nice to see that it wasn't a plugin or something that screwed it up. I guess I'll just have to live with the problem since it is low priority.

[PharaohsVizier]

Hmmm that's odd. Is there any way around this? Like a mod or setting or something?

So I was posting something up to test on my forum. Basically if I have a quote starting my CMS article, when I get around to posting it, it doesn't show up on the front page. That is to say the text...

Thank you, that worked ...

This morning my whole CMS front page was down, I'd just keep getting a Database Error. Every time I booted up, I'd get:



So with my infinite wisdom, I decided to take this...

Hey,

I was just fiddling around with Style Vars to see what I can come up with (I'm a total noob and not a designer) and was hoping you guys could identify a 2 items for me since I couldn't...

I'm getting this error on my blog, and basically guests and admin can see the latest blog entry just fine, but all registered members including moderators are getting the error:

The page...

Thank you so much, looks great now.

I was hoping to get a bit of help with widgets, they were working fine when I was on 4.0.1 but when I upgraded to 4.0.4, they weren't doing anything right. My website is www.dsdatabase.org.

I'm being flooded by my vBulletin Database Error, getting hundreds and hundreds of emails and I need to turn it off. I've already turned it off in the vBulletin Options under "Error Handling and...

[PharaohsVizier]

You know, I have to agree with you. At the start, I thought, that's alright, you know, if it takes a few extra days, even a week more, if they need the time that's fine. But they need to SAY SOMETHING,...

It's better than nothing really, but honestly that answer was so vague it was pointless to even post it. We know that it won't be released until it is ready, it's like saying it won't be released until...
