Question: I've installed Textual Confirmation. However, any answer is accepted. What is wrong?

Answer: 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.

For example, you might have 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();

Sorry about posting again, but I love how you did that with the text confirmation for guests. Is that a separate mod or the advanced version?

I do have one concern though with "yes" and "no" questions. It seems to me that it would be quite easy to program a spambot to say "yes" to all unkown questions. Even if the answer was "no", you would still have a 50-50 chance of getting it right.

Thanks again for the cool mod.

It's the advanced version, here is how it is attached to phpBB2: http://bbantispam.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=284.

It is supposed that forum administrators change the default questions.
