What?   Why would you want anyone but admins to have access to the list?

Global moderators, or other moderators? I'm the only person who has admin level access i.e. database settings etc.

Kindred

Anyone with access to the member approval should see the list

It says There are 2 members awaiting approval but I don't have any members awaiting approval. How do I reset this?

Thanks,

Just a quick note to say that I have upgraded today one of my forums to SMF 1.1.21 and another couple of them to SMF 2.0.10 and I had no errors installing in all of them Mod StopSpammer v2.3.9 so it means this mod is compatible with the latest SMF versions.

If any of you have just upgraded your SMF forum and you had any error installing Mod StopSpammer after the upgrade please let me know so we can see what's the problem.

I upgraded two forums from 2.0.9 to 2.0.10 with StopSpammer and Mod httpBL already installed, and everything went fine for me too.

I have several forums to deal with, my own and others I take care of. I updated them all and all went through without a hitch....except 1 of course...It still gave the file error I think it was for the second edit in the subs_member.php??? I can't remember but it did the first edit and the second edit I had to enter manually.

Aside from that it installed.


I did notice that in the text area above the installation parts it still says that it is compatible with SMF 1.1.1 - 1.1.12 SMF 2 RC4, no mention of it being updated or that it is now compatible with 2.0.10

I did also notice that when a member changes their address and we have SMF set to have them reactivate their account, the admin area for this mods gets confused. Any would be members awaiting activation will not show up, only the one that did the change and it even lists the reason they originally wanted to join (reason why mod), and the total awaiting does reflect any others in there.  Once they get activated then all others magically show up again...LOL No complaint since I assume it should work that wa plus it does not hamper anything else relating to the mod.

Thank you both for this wonderful mod.

It does, check the attached picture.

In fact as you can see, it says that the mod was last updated on the 14th of June 2015. It wasn't really any mod update. It was just me changing the versions the mod is compatible with.  ;)

I don't know exactly when SMF changed that, but now, when you have a few new members waiting activation and at the same time you have some old members who have changed their email and need activation as well, you can decide in the "View Members waiting activation" list if you want to see the newbies or the ones who changed their email.

On top of the list you should see a "select" box to change the view when you are on that situation. I cannot give you any pictures of that because I haven't got in my forums members who had changed their email recently, but the first time it happened to me I was also wondering where were the rest of the members waiting activation until I noticed the select box.  ;D

Gracias, that shows you how observant I is not...LOL I sure did not notice that at all. Let us hope I remember the next time they change an emai...I dont have many that do it either, just when their emails get spoofed or spammed beyond beyond.

I also missed the image about the updated date in the folder too...I can be so blind at times. I can also be dense...I knew that image...it is from the downlds area...that is why I grabbed the "update". But I mean in the package manager when it is ready to install. That spiel does not say it is for 2.0.10, it is the file that says it is for SMF 1.1.1 - 1.1.12 SMF 2 RC4. No biggie cause it works and that is all that matters.


Again thank you very much.

Oh, I see what you mean.

When you install a mod you see on the screen whatever is written in the "readme.txt" file inside it and I wrote that file ages ago, when the SMF version was RC4

In the next update I need to add inside that readme.txt a line saying:

"Just now it is compatible with so and so but if you want to see if it is compatible with a newer version of SMF please visit http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1547" LOL

I installed 2.3.9 on  a forum that had just been upgraded to 2.0.11 all appeared to go ok but now I notice that spammer accounts are not being highlighted in red and spammers are getting through.

The MOD is active and it says:- Mod Stop Spammer is ON, it is up-to-date and the connection with Stop Forum Spam is perfect.

but it doesn't appear to be working.

Make sure you remembered to turn the mod on in its settings section.

nax said the mod is already activated:

That doesn't make any sense. If the mod is ON, updated and with good connection with Stop Forum Spam it SHOULD be working.

Is it a new install? I mean: Is this the first time you install this mod in your forum?

If you had this mod before: Was it working properly?

Can you give us a list of other mods you have installed in your forum? (maybe some of them are interacting with this one)

Try anyway to un-install the mod and install it again. Sometimes that helps.

Or, do as I do in most of my forums:

Forget this mod, set up a couple of anti-spam questions and install this other mod instead:

Yes it is turned on, I also turned it off and on again just to be sure.
