Just thought I'd pass this along for those of you who've had problems with spam bot registration and posting on your phpBB forum. I didn't write it, I'm just passing it along. The edits are easy to do, but I can email the files with the edits complete to anyone who is having problems. NOTE: This means you need to try on your own first. http://www.phpbb.com/files/mods/Easy...opper__100.mod is the download link, support thread is here: http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic...er=asc&start=0

The Humanizer is another really good one and I'll probably add it as well for that added layer of protection. Install instructions can be found by dialing 800-DONTASKME.

The short message was "To publish in BV you have to have an account, and if you want a Forum, you need to learn to install it yourself. DOB does NOT mean date of birth, and beyond that submit a ticket. Don't call again! Cough-cough" I slowly hung up the phone and immediately started longing for the good old days before a Clone button .... |

Hi Race - this post was manna from heaven for me as I am sick to death of all the spammers on my forum! But I couldn't get the link to open - it said page not found. Any ideas? (You know how challenged I am with all of this!)

Help! I put the code in, but got an unexpected parse string error on line 632 when I tried the registration! Took it out again and the board works again. I copied it all in exactly - any idea where i am going wrong?

You probably missed a small character or something, that's easy to do. For your convenience, here are both files edited, tested and ready to go. http://daysofblunder.com/botsmod.zip

What can I say, Race? Worked fine! Thank you so much for your help! One other strange thing - do you remember the trouble I had with disappearing avatars each time I upgrade? Well, I haven't upgraded the Limebrook Forum (too much trouble with the adsense), but I have another forum on the Bearded Dragon site. I upgraded this one, and lo and behold - lost the avatars! Something very strange happening with my forums - I haven't touched that one at all!

Hi limebrook1 this is one of the problems with upgrading. any modifacations or avatars or or images go walkies. when you upgrade it replaces old files with the new files. so any changes you have made will disappear. best to use the same forum then add things to it. i am still useing 2.19 with 23 mods in it if i upgrade i would lose most and have to do them all again by hand. for the small change the upgrade does it's not worth it. |

Going along with what Alien Dude posted - before you upgrade, download the images folder from the forum to your pc and then ftp it back in place after the upgrade.

Another easy way to stop spam is to ask a simple question like "How much is 5+2?". I've written in my blog an explanation how to stop spam on phpbb forums, and there is a link to a mod in the comments. |

You make one post on this forum, try to direct traffic to YOUR site, and you're here to help cut down on spam? LOL

These sort of so called quick fix answers are not the way to go, you would be well advised to rewrite that entry before you cause a security problem on someones forum. |

You're using a vanilla installation of phpBB, so you can use the files in the zip file I posted in post #16 of this thread. Download and unzip the folder to your pc. Then, open your ftp manager and navigate to your forum. Open your Includes folder and upload usercp_register.php into it, allowing it to overwrite the file you have in place. Open your Templates > Subsilver folder and upload profile_add_body.tpl into it, allowing it to overwrite the file you have in place. Done.
