Re: SPAMBOTS - how can we stop them - read FIRST post.

believe it's only available from 3.0.3 upwards... you might find the update files here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7885&package_id=194469 I was afraid that would be the case. I don't see a 3.0.2 to 3.0.4 package so I might just wait until the phpBB web site comes back ...

Re: SPAMBOTS - how can we stop them - read FIRST post.

I am interested in trying the queued posts option. My board is using version 3.0.2 though, and I can't seem to find where in the ACP to adjust the queued post settings.

Is that feature only available in 3.0.4? I'm not sure I'm really in the mood for an upgrade :)

Re: Spam Bots & phpBB3?

Since adding the custom profile fields a few hours ago, the spam signups have stopped.
