It is best if you come up with your own. I have yet to have one get thru since switching to Q&A

After playing a round with some of the options. Can any one tell me if this looks right or if it doesn't look right. A attached an image and look in the area I circled. The name and description. Is that what should be in there. I see that a lot of this in most of my setup, and I don't think it shou...

I started using the q&a and the spambots stopped completely. I tried an experiment this morning where I went back to reCAPTCHA and within minutes I had three spambots register. If the q&a questions are tricky enough they will work I will go back to the q&a and change the questions when they start ge...

Ok. I hope this is on-topic. I'm wanting to use reCAPTCHA on my 3.0.8 board. I go into the Spambot Countermeasure section. reCAPTCHA is greyed out. I select in anyways. I get the information that I need to register my site on reCAPTCHA.com. Do so. Go back. Item still greyed out. Try to select anywa...

Thanks
Worked like a charm

Go to ACP -> manage users -> enter your current admin username, then simply change it to what you want and submit. All your old posts will now show your new username.

Thanks

Sorry for the simplistic question - I have managed to get the board running, so I can't be completely thick! My board will be a invitation only board so I need to create new users, complete with password. Casual users should not be able to access anything. Now I log on as admin, but I can't find an...

Thanks for your suggestions

If I ban the email address *@hotmail.com will members that have already registered with a hotmail address still be able to login?

ya thanks but i think i will benefit from other peoples method and not yours. I'll wait for rahber's reply or someone else willing to give more of an explanation. cheers mate I hope you realize the all the staff on this board and support this software are doing this on their own time.

What browser are you using? I have seen this with Firefox

Hello. I don't want the users of my forums to write e-mail addresses so I tried to use the "word censoring" feature to force the forum to change every @ for (at) but it did not work. I tried with *@* but it changed everything until the first dot. I.e.: me@something.com became (at).com What am I doi...

You can also go to
ACP
General Settings
user registration settings
Set new member post limit to "0"

I tested using another users permissions who did not have access and only posts from the regular forums showed up. One interesting thing I saw was that...
