vBulletin is a popular forum software. To attach Advanced Textual Confirmation (ATC) to vBulletin, do the following.

Note 1. If you prefer better integration with vBulletin, you might prefer NoSpam add-on by antialiasis instead of ATC. Installation is simple too, it's performed through the Admin CP.

Note 2: I don't have the source code of vBulletin, therefore my installation instruction, based on observations, might be wrong. If you have corrections, please post them.
