Hi,
I hope there is someone around who's good at IPB forums. I'm absolute n00b in this though I became an admin of such a forum (Invision Power Board v2.1.7) recently.
The problem is that we have about a dozen of spam-bots registering every day. They overcome the registration (including the thingy with graphical numbers) and even activate their accounts. After a newer IPB version was installed the spam-bots stopped posting messages. But they keep registering and it irritates a lot cause most of the new users are not real.
If you can suggest any kind of suggestion or solution to this problem please post one.
Thnx.
========================
In case anyone needs this in future:
I added a line (a required one) in the registration form where the user must enter random 4 numbers. Letters wouldn't do, neither will 3 or 5 numbers - only 4 numbers. The line is displayed in the users profile only for the mods and admins. No spam robots managed to regisetr since then.
