On my other board (wowbb) I have been starting to have alot of spammers register. I was wondering if you guys have something implimented to help stop this. I am not sure of what it is called but I would like those boxes to come up on sign in where you have to type what you see in one box to another. I have a user agreement on my board but that doesn't seem to be a problem either, they bye pass that. I have made mandatory questions in the registration with multiple choices and other ways but not helping either.

Also, on my trial ultra it doesn't say how many bots have been on my pages. Did you remove that feature?

And the welcome back...do you only ever see it welcoming yourself or are you supposed to see it change as people come back? Mine only ever says welcome back to me.

We do have spam protection, it has proven 100% against automatic bots. Log out and click "register" and you will see it.

The "who visited" section on this software is the original and my own, I never included "bots" because it is impossible to determine 100% what guest is a bot and what isn't. There are array of IP's that places like google and yahoo use AND a bot is supposed to identify its self as a bot but it doesn't always happen that way.

I'm an "absolute" type of developer, If I did a bot mod It would just show the known bots in the user list on line because actual count is impossible. That's apposed to "A total of 12 bots that we know of visited. More might have, but we don't really know for sure". I would have a hard time selling that.

Welcome back is a personal greeting just for you, it simply displays the avatar of the person logged in at the time on that computer. It lets you know if you are logged in or not.

Thanks for answering so quickly, I really like the fast action from the program owners...ALOT!

More questions if you don't mind...
Is there a way to get that thing on sign in where you type the letters or numbers shown in a box? I am unsure what that is called.
Also, in making a post....is there a way to put a video in it, EX: a youtube video I wanted to show.

Hi Maili,

as for the Captcha mod, we dont have it packaged as a "stand alone" mod, but let me double check with Jim though
