Lost member list/spam protection and reporting
ruskan:
I have smf 1.1.13. I've lost my members names under admin>members, and also any spam protection/reporting that used to show up on this page. I can see a members list under the "members" tab in the nav bar, but this is not the same. Can anyone tell me why I've lost the members/spam protection, and how to retrieve it. I don't recall at this moment the type of spam protection I had, but I got it thru the smf site. Thanks. I am very untechnical, I would deeply appreciate detailed help.

1.1.13?!?!
You know that version's kinda centuries out of date, right?
Upgrading to v1.1.16 is STRONGLY recommended.
To do that, you'll need this:

and to do this:
http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Upgrading
Especially the "BACKUP!!!" bit.
That might even sort your problems out, too. ;)

OK, thanks. I upgraded to 1.1.16 and the members names did reappear in admin>members. However, Stop Spammer is still missing. I checked the smf mod site, and saw that Stop Spammer is not listed as working with 1.1.16, which is a complete bummer. But it was missing along with the member names before I upgraded from 1.1.13. So, now I dont' know if I can expect Stop Spammer to work with the new upgrade. Can anyone help answer this, and if it will work, how to get it working? Thanks.
K@:
There're oodles of anti-spam mods on the mod site. Have a look through these:

Check-out the support topics, for them, to see what comments/hassles people have had and you can try one/some of those.
ruskan:
thanks for the effort, but most of the spam protection still is not specified to work with 1.1.16. The few that are do not operate the same way as Stop Spammer and don't appear as effective. So, I can't say your advice has been helpful and I'm stuck without spam protection. Maybe upgrades should not be posted until mods are in place?
