Thanks for the news on that it had me scratching my head a bit. I actually am not running any human verification on our boards and have maybe 1 spammer a week who slips by but they end up getting moderated so hopefully you will be as lucky as me and not need the keycaptcha mod.

I will put this on the list of known conflicts.

Thanks Glow, and a great mod you are sharing with everyone. :)

Brilliant, removed all versions, uploaded 2.0.2, thanks very much, now working.:) Very much appreciated.

No it does NOT, in fact it does not slow them down nowadays. I wouldnt bother with captcha or Q an A... They just blow right through it. It is a myth that Q an A stops them.

Works for me.

I certainly am very appreciative in regards to SOM and SFS.

If it prevents people who don't bother reading anything before they join then it's worth the risk.

Hi.

I'm getting this error with 2.0.2

Glowhost,

Any ideas why I am not receiving anything logged in the admincp or getting posted to forum stats with 2.0.2? Everything worked as advertised with ver 1.2.8. I received logs in admincp and I have since uninstalled and removed all files.

I have reupped and installed 2.0.2 and still not getting any activity logged. Everything else appears to be working.

I noticed that in the readme.txt for 2.0.2 under uninstallation it says: /************************** 5. UNINSTALLATION **************************/

5.1. After uninstall, please, remove

/includes/xml/bitfield_glowhostspamomatic.xml file from server

I don't have this file in 2.0.2. Could that be my problem?

Did you follow the instructions about uninstalling v. 1.x before installing 2.x? See previous posts about removing this table and reinstalling.

I cleared my logs out before upgrading to 2.0.1 (about to go to 2.0.2), now I do have an entry for a user thats post was moderated based on post count, but theres 0 entries for users who are being blocked. Def not a verbose/duplicate issue as previously stated, they just aren't being logged at all now.

Umm.... so I noticed in 2.0.1 and now 2.0.2...

WTF!!!! is this?? On my footer bar where the lil navigation tabs happen, I have:

Quote:

* Contact Us
* -= TeknoSounds =-
* Admin
* Mod
* Archive
* Web Hosting
* Web Hosting

WHY do I have Web Hosting in my bar and pointing to your site?

See http://teknosounds.com at the bottom left corner of the page.

Update:
Found in the plugin xml something about Affiliate issues...
Temporarily fixed. I went into the Plugin Manager, found the Affiliates and Credits plugin for SOM and disabled the active status.

Same here....my log shows a new user account created (by me) and sent to vb registration. It also shows the post I created being moderated due to rules set by 2.0.2, but it will not show the registration attempts in the logs nor the forum stats page.

Is there any chance of the option to exclude some forums from auto-moderation?

Can't argue with that -expecially considering how everything works so beautifully. :)

What about adding a GlowHost ban option to the admincp user profile? I couldn't find a way of banning someone using the mod yesterday as they hadn't posted in the forums only on user profiles.

No stats are being shown on board index :(

Was a clean install of 2.0.2, checked in the settings and the stats showing are enabled.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Mark

The only stat showing on my board is a spammy post moderation stat for The Daily Game hack, no stats about denied registrations etc - I had over 10,000 denied registrations using version 1.2.8 (which was maybe a bit extreme)

But having said that no spammers have been able to register so I guess they are being denied but not recorded in logs. So the stats not showing is a minor issue.

I have version 1.2.7 and just wondering in the log file sometimes I'll get a page like this:

I'm wondering under what conditions they would be checked so much? I did a search for IP, username, and Email and this user never did get created so what do I make of this? Is it a person hitting refresh a lot? Failing Captcha? I don't know as these entries are just seconds apart.
