Hi Oleg,

First of all, thank you for this wonderful mod, it was very easy to install.

After installing it, however, I noticed that the spambots were still getting in. After a bit of testing, I noticed that if the textual confirmation answer is left BLANK, it accepts the registration. (If a wrong answer is entered, it rejects it.)

I don't know if this is a bug in the code or a mistake I made during installation/setup.

Could you please help me fix this? My forum is aacomplaints[.]com.

Thanks for your time!

Cheers,
Andres

Hi Andres,

thanks for contacting me. I've registered the users "delete_me_it_is_test" and "delete_me_it_is_test2" on your forum, please delete them.

It seems that any answer is accepted.

Most likely, the problem is that the string "tc_hook_register();" was inserted to a wrong position in the file "includes/usercp_register.php". There are a lot of curly braces, which sometimes cause confusion.

Please check and report results.

Hi Oleg,

Wow, you know your stuff!

I had the tc_hook_register(); before the end brackets:

Code:
$error = TRUE;
         $error_msg .= ( ( isset($error_msg) ) ? '<br />' : '' ) .                   $lang['Fields_empty'];
         tc_hook_register();
      }
   }


Instead of after:

Code:
$error = TRUE;
         $error_msg .= ( ( isset($error_msg) ) ? '<br />' : '' ) .                   $lang['Fields_empty'];         
      }
   }
   tc_hook_register();


I fixed it and it works like a charm!

Great MOD, great support, great guy!

Keep it up!

Thanks,
Andres
