Hi there,

I have installed textual confirmation on a forum I am setting up, www.anitamaj.com/forum. I can't see the TC option on the admin panel and spammers are still signing up - I have triple checked the installation, and can't find anything wrong. Could you possibly tell me if there's anything else I need to check?

Thanks,

Rob (robpercival@cantab.net)

Hello Rob,

have you finally installed TC? I've visited your forum, and the registration page does ask a question.

Oleg,

Thanks for replying. While it does ask a question, I do not have the option on my admin page to change the questions, so the bots are still getting through.

Any idea why that might be?

Thanks again,

Rob

Hello Rob,

probably your setup is somehow different to the defaults. I've played with your forum a bit, and I noticed that the forum on "anitamaj.com" interferes with the forum on "threewaylinkexchange.net". Therefore, I'm afraid that you have two copies of the forum, but both share the same database. Would you please check if it is so?
