Mod - Verification image at registration

OK.
I went to your 1.1.x test site yesterday and tested the mod and it worked fine for me (Windows 2000 professional+Firefox 3).
I then installed on one of my sites (described earlier) and will give you relevant feedback.

Thx.

Finally, finally, finally... YEEESSSSS, for the first time I could confirm this mod to work. Not only one, but even 2 of my forums were attacked within an hour from the same bot.

It took 2-3 minutes to make exact 7 attacks in each forum, probably "that long" as the browser cache has to be emptied and/or the browser has to be closed to make another attempt (or banning time has to run out). Hmm, does the bots even use a regular browser to hack... I really don't know.

Checked for support of SMF 1.1.9 & SMF 2.0 RC1-1

got a weird issue, when using this on one of my sites. None of the avatars are showing up, just red lines.

Try disabling the TP block. What does your error log say?

clashbot · June 01, 2009, 07:57:36 AM

turned off the tp block, no change, error log shows this

What other mods regarding spam check do you have installed? Can you attach register.template.php?

clashbot · June 01, 2009, 08:12:27 AM

only other spam mode is the anti-spam verification questions. Screenshot of installed mods, and register.template.php

Akyhne · June 01, 2009, 08:22:13 AM

I have no issues running anti spam verification questions along with my mod, although I have to install anti spam verification questions first, then my mod.

What folders are you using for the avatars? Any custom folders?

clashbot · June 01, 2009, 08:24:41 AM

no, no custom avatars at allstill only have the default set

clashbot · June 01, 2009, 08:27:17 AM

funny thing is, it works on my other forums, but all the settings are the same, as well as the mods

Akyhne · June 01, 2009, 08:31:51 AM

Your Register.template.php compares exactly to mine... strange.

Well, that's great to hear at least. Was you bothered a lot with spammers?

Only thing I can suggest for now is to run the Repair Settings tool to check wether your paths are correct: http://download.simplemachines.org/?tools

Akyhne · June 01, 2009, 08:37:05 AM

Ok, I found out why it doesn't work. It is because you don't allow guests to access your forum. Whenever I disable guest access, it doesn't work on my forums as well.

clashbot · June 01, 2009, 08:42:18 AM

yep, that was it...thanks
atleast I still have a little hair left, and didn't pull out all of it. Great mod btw, look forward to an official release on the mods

clashbot · June 01, 2009, 08:49:09 AM

one little caveat though...appears the verification is stuck in session or cookie, not sure which...

Steps to reproduce:
register, pass verification
don't go any further with registration and login with account already in place
log out
register again
goes straight to the normal capcha registration, bypassing the avatar

might be something to think about for public computers...

Akyhne · June 01, 2009, 08:50:09 AM

I don't think it will be released as I don't have the time and skills to support it.

I found the "error" and corrected it. I just need to test wether it works in all SMF versions and then upload it here. In the mean time, just uninstall your current version, and I will be right back.

I'm aware of that, but I don't see it as an issue. Bots don't register more than one account each time, not to drag attension.

clashbot · June 01, 2009, 08:57:04 AM

k, and it's too bad there won't be an official release, I actually prefer this one to most of the anti-spam captures...

Really wish I knew php more
