I must say, some people are so sick. God knows they would probably post those links on a message-board maintained by 9-year-olds. What a scourge.
 Anyway, I have forced Admin-validation on new registrations, so I HOPE that helps things work out a little better. ( JB: if you have a better idea, let me know.) Ok, now, back to insulting Tyrannus. Ruggiero -------------------- Oobawanga wata chopay polah.

vBulleting and IPB both have updated CAPTCHA plugins that require you to answer a simple question. Have Jay search for this plugin on the IPB mod sites.
The way it works is you'll be prompted to enter an answer. That anwer requries a human on the other end.. ie what is 5+5? or Type "Rodians Stink" in the box provided. Since you have to type the answer in the new spam apps can't "guess" or detect the answer. I had to enable this on several of my customer sites and since then all spam has stopped... viola! -------------------- ============================================= • E .· ` ' / ·.
