| Hello,
the link provided is broken. But the syntax looks like a PHP Nuke, therefore the answer is simple: yes, you can use ATC for Nuke. _________________ Oleg Parashchenko, bbAntiSpam Do you love our tools? Please sponsor further development! |

| Yeah.. I didn't use the real URL. But how do I apply ATC to the New Accounts page?
It works great for the login page, so bots can not post, but I'm getting over 20 new accounts every day.  |

For what its worth, I followed the instructions in the post "How to stop PHP-Nuke spam", and it's stopped the Bots at login. But they are creating accounts like crazy from this page: http://www.oldephartz.com/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=new_user I'm assuming there's a file to edit to include the line; <?php include_once 'bbantispam/bbantispam.php'; ?> so that it will apply to the New User page. |

| Very strange. I've followed the link, tried to register an user, and get a question from Advanced Textual Confirmation.
Is it possible that the site has an alternative way to create accounts? Also, try changing the default questions. _________________ Oleg Parashchenko, bbAntiSpam Do you love our tools? Please sponsor further development! |

| My experience is that bots can create accounts in PHP-Nuke through the forum. You block this and all spam in PHP-Nuke, if you put the installation code for bbantispam in config.php. | |

I just tried using another browser, and successfully created an account. However, I do get the question when I tried to login. I only had to delete two accounts this morning instead of the average 20+, which is a huge improvement. I use "phpMyAdmin" for manage this. I'll keep an eye on this, and if it works out, I'll be getting a license for sure. Thanks Last edited by CTerrian on Fri May 29, 2009 1:58 pm; edited 2 times in total |

Yeah, I knew this from the install post, but my forums are restricted to registered users only. Thanks. |

I suspect that the phpBB forum is embedded to Nuke in such a way, that there is a hidden possibility to create new accounts through the forum, bypassing the standard Nuke registration process.
Thanks a lot! _________________ Oleg Parashchenko, bbAntiSpam Do you love our tools? Please sponsor further development! |
