First: Thank you for the best working protection against bots. I used your modification since i installed v3.0.2 (or was it 3.0.1? I dunno).

Anyways: I was and i am everytime a bit paranoid. So i modded the 'prime_captcha_keys.php' like following:

Code: Select all

$lang = array_merge($lang, array(
	'PRIME_CAPTCHA_KEYS' => array(

		'Open <a href=".\readme.txt" target="_blank">ReadMe</a> and enter it here:'
			=> array('the text from readme.txt'),

	),
));

?>
So the bot got no chance, to read it and answer correct. I know, this scenario didn't happen until now. Maybe it never will happen. But: For paranoid users like me, maybe the best method.

greetings Claymore

Hello,

I'm using the xand theme, but I can't find this page "styles/prosilver/template/posting_editor.html" and on this page "styles/prosilver/template/ucp_register.html", I can't find this code "<!-- IF S_CONFIRM_CODE -->".

Hello,

if you only use xand theme, then look for

styles/xand/template/posting_editor.html
styles/xand/template/ucp_register.html

You have to make the modifications for every style you have installed!

If xand is based on prosilver, try to find the correct places in the xand files using the instructions for prosilver.
If xand is based on subsilver2 (then there are a lot of tables in xand's template files), try to find the correct places in the xand files using the instructions for subsilver2. The instructions for subsilver2 are probably located in the MOD's contrib folder.

Regards
Wolfgang

Ok I've followed all the instructions and it seems to work quite while. But I don't have 'posting_editor.html', would that cause any error? I tried to register and everything seems fine!

Hi,

posting_editor.html is not a part of subsilver2 and styles based on subsilver2. Just follow the instructions for subsilver2 in the MOD's contrib folder, and it will be fine. :)

I can answer the previous poster's question about the differences with the single question mod,
and say this mod would allow you to define several questions and corresponding answers, and a random pick is made at registration time.

I think this approach would be better than the single question, as it would be harder to hardwire the robot to answer the questions.

I liked this one the best of all the mods offered on the "Robot Defense" article, so I added this mod *first* to my 3.0.5 (by upgrade) and avalon style (also updated to 3.0.5). But alas, it didn't work. Couldn't register.
No appearance of the option in the ACP. Registrations just failed. So I reverted. There's a lot of changes
to the style files; I modified all the prosilver and subsilver files as well as the avalon files, and even swapped
the styles around to see if I just was blockheaded about making the style mods. But alas, it still acted the same way.

If 3.0.5 requires any different instuctions, let me know!

I'm running phpBB 3.0.5 and the MOD is working fine for me. Did you use automod to install it?

It's not showing. Have you enabled "Text verification for registrations:" in your board settings?
