Handling spam hidden with BBcode

[jola]

The problem is that subscription emails for an entire sub-forum tree are only being sent out if the sub-forum has received new posts. If you, for example, have a sub-forum root that only receives messages...

One thing that would help a bit to find this kind of hidden spam is if it could be possible to search for keywords in the bbCode tags of all posts.

Thanks for your quick reply. We've done as you suggested and cencored the background color. This made these spam posts show up. Great! This at least makes it much easier to find already posted hidden...

I have noticed a new spam problem on my vBulletin forum. People register and post messages that have nonsence content with hidden links in the messages. The links are hidden with bbCode.

[jola]

Is it possible to extend the "New Posts" function so that it can show new posts for a certain sub-forum and its child forums and not for all forums?

I noticed that the search function...
