phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

How many accounts are on each page?
You can increase the number with the posting tab > topics per page value

That way you'll have fewer pages and you can do more manageable chunks of deletions. 200 per page would only mean doing it 10 times.

There's a group forum permission
Can use [img] BBCode tag

Set that to never. Then they will only be able to attach images (as long as you have server capacity and bandwidth for it).

If you block one site, they'll just use another, like imgur or flickr or imgbb etc etc etc.

For sure that will break the link but it won't be pretty. It's better to know what the problem is first.

What problem are you trying to solve by doing that?

See How to clean up a board hit by spam for some suggestions. You don't have to delete one by one necessarily. You can click the MCP link at the top of any forum and select whole pages of topics to trash. It might take some time but it's doable. Assign forums to each moderator and tackle it together.

It does that if you do the highly unusual action you're doing. Why would you preview and then go back and preview again though? You can report it as a bug if you want but I doubt they'll do anything as you're doing an action that isn't the usual 'workflow' of making a post and it's not a fatal action.

It's super annoying because prospective new users barely get 5 seconds to see or read anything and decide if they want to join before they get redirected to the login. I even chose the English translation and then never got the chance to choose it again when I tried to go back to the index to actual...

You should really ask the people you bought the style from.

On a different laptop, to act as a guest, I did enter URL with the domain plus ending in /phpbb3/index.php and /phpbb3/viewonline.php. The response was, Must be logged in to view ... At the same time using my first laptop logged in as an administrator I was able to see a new guest arrive and access...

It's a question.
You can see it if you click my sig. I don't like to post on here saying what it is because it works! And actually myself and Mick experimented and you can actually make it very very very simple indeed. The difficult bit for the bots is that you have to understand what the task is.

Like warmweer, I'm also using an effective Q&A. I think I've changed it twice in 3 years and one of those was from this recent attack. I use the same style on 3 sites and they're all equally effective.

with all due respect, this is unhelpful. I don't think your team are taking onboard the severity of this recent wave of bots ability to crack even the hardest of Q&A. We are because we got it as well and we had it on our own boards. I changed my Q&A and it stopped. That's it. We know from e...

The URL in the browser address bar. https://www.phpbb.com/community/memberlist.php or https://www.phpbb.com/community/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1912496 I'm not a coder but I think the session information is all in the database. Bottom line is it's not worth the trouble to find it all out...
