spammers!
As you may have noticed, we're getting a dozen new spam-bots a day.
For quite awhile now, I've had a set of CAPTCHA, and question/answer bot-blockers in place and this week, they seem to have disappeared from the registration page. Not sure why...
I'll look into it today

ah, I already wondered why there were so many of them, all of a sudden, and why it had been so cozy and quiet before...John Cooper wrote:For quite awhile now, I've had a set of CAPTCHA, and question/answer bot-blockers in place

Re: spammers!
working on it. this is now phpBB 3.0. the theming/style stuff is done a bit differently, and I couldn't get the usual planetz theme working very easily.

Re: spammers!
Hi Ken,
Try again now. I found another configuration setting in .htaccess that should override the php.ini
