Stopping Bots from Registering

[nick!]

Very nice, I am going to install each of them...I appreciate the help and the links! :-)
I will update you and let you know after they are installed if I still have any issues with the damn bots......

[nick!]

ok thanks, maybe someone else will know what I can do, I think I already looked there, thats how I found captcha at login. If I can fix the problem at registration for these bots, then I dont need a captcha...

[nick!]

I looked in the panel for that option and its not there. Im using vb 3.6.8 and that feature is not installed...

[nick!]

Ok, cool, so how do I install the Q & A? Is there a plugin for this? Thanks.

[nick!]

I have captcha on at registration and a captcha plugin mod installed when someone tries to login, but I still have lots of bots everyday registering and getting around the captchas. Its getting annoying...

[nick!]

oh boy :::cries:::

I was thinking something wasn't right with only those fields when I checked the fresh installed database and saw all the others, I knew something wasn't right, looks like...

[nick!]

Ok, I tried that and its saying database error. I used the correct info in the config.php. Now when I go into this backup database in phpmyadmin, I notice there is only these fields in the database: access,...

Hello, to make a long story short, my boards were lost, due to the webhost...Which amazingly enough wasn't their fault...I guess something went wrong when they were upgrading their servers 6 months ago...

One other thing, no matter what you click on, for example: twitter if you want to add it, it still only adds the first original post, even if you use the icons on replies, so I guess my next question...

[nick!]

It was appearing up there because thats where I originally put it. I just made the adjustment to under '$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]' in the postbit_legacy template, so it appears near the bottom...

[nick!]

Alright, I have found a spot where it will appear all the time. What do you guys think?

Here is a demo: http://www.ffdpokerforum.com/online-...39014-party-ca...

[nick!]

I am trying to find the spot in the templates where I can add; facebook,twitter, digg icons for sharing purposes. I believe in the 'postbit' template is where I should be looking to add this, maybe after...

[nick!]

Alright, so I've been using the admin panel alot lately and everytime I go to it, it automatically puts in 'Site Admin' and I use a different ID to login, is there a way to change that around so it puts...

[nick!]

Yep, you were right. Edited the 'Error' template under 'Main' and put in some codes, now a advertisement appears under any error message. Guess I could even make it a rotating banner that way the same...

[nick!]

Sounds like a plan.. Thankyou. I always thought a good mod would be something like a 3 second auto re-direct from pages like that where posts dont exist back to the main index.php, would be a good idea?...

[nick!]

Hey, you know how when you delete a post, and someone finds that post in a search engine and they click on it, and they receive a message that says something like: Sorry the link no longer exists it was...

[nick!]

If anyone wants that template you can get it for free here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?p=2197834 or find others in the styles section for 3.6.x - I been trying to figure out how I can...

[nick!]

Well thankyou very much man. I appreciate it, I looked long and hard for a decent template out there. I like this one because its unique, eventhough I got alot of work to do with it. I want to use it...

[nick!]

Lol, you like my new template? I just added that recently because my old cobalt-x customized went bad after some bot somehow changed a script in the admin panel, but yeah, I might stick with this look,...

[nick!]

Alright, cool...Putting the old VBSEO files back in the root folder is loading things backup again at: http://www.ffdpokerforum.com/ I feel better now...and sure am glad I copied those files over before...
