The key is trying to find it. :o

Did the one I give you work better than the ops version

Awesome how the coder doesnt even pop up here to try to explain some of this issues :D

Just installed it tonight on 2 of the 5 forums. Will let you know.

Update:

On one of the forums, after installing, it demoted me from Admin to new member, des[pite the fact that I was set as an Unalterable Admin in the config file (???!!!???) and I could no longer log in to the AdminCP.

Luckily, I have a co-Admin on that forum who was able to intervene and promote me again.

Thanks anyway but I've reverted to vBStopForumpam again.

I think I might have found a problem.
When it's enabled it turns off the stock Vulletin IP address block system.
I keep getting spammers from the USA and China getting through even though there IP address is in the ban user box.
On a side note, only the spammers that get through and try to post have an ICQ address. I think they are using it some way to do the posting of there Ugg boots and crap. There is a connection between them.

you must of messed the settings up it has never done that to me

Did anyone get this afeter upgrading to 4.2.2? The error dissapears when we disable this plugin

have you put in the other fixes yet in php.ini, class_core.php, socialgroupdiscussion.php and socialgroupmessage.php

MySQL Server has gone away:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/gone-away.html

Can be tricky to fix, but it's usually done in your my.cnf. You may need to increase the time out settings from the defaults or any of the many other options suggested at the URL above....then make sure to restart MySQL to load the new configuration. This is definitely a MySQL configuration issue.

I've also noticed a problem where some spammers IPs are listed on the SFS database who are able to register and post. We are still investigating that.

What about the usergroups ID'S and User Id's that are set NOT to be moderated are still being moderated for some odd reason.
I keep having those members post send to moderation and me havong to login to ACP to validate the posts..

Its annoying and defeats the purpose IMHO.

First make a new group based of Users Awaiting Moderation Group then give them permissions to post ie:
Can Post Threads = Yes
Can Reply to Own Threads = Yes
Can Reply to Others' Threads = Yes

Spam O Matic settings
Newbies Manager: Put New User Into Newbies Group? = Yes
Newbies Manager: Newbies Group ID = New group id
Newbies Manager: Trusted/Registered Users Group ID = 2
Newbies Manager: Promotion From Post Count = 9 But you can make this what you want Note: once they hit there 10th post it will move them to group 2 the cron job runs once every hour
Auto-Moderation: Enable = Enabled
Auto-Moderation: Post Action = Moderate Post
Auto-Moderation: Apply Auto-Moderation To Newbies only? = Yes
Auto-Moderation: Minimum Post Count = 1

You don't actually want them to be able to edit their posts. We ran into the situation where a spam account would register post something innocuous (i.e. "High my name is X") edit the post and then put their spam in that way since this mod does not check edited posts, only new posts.

After initial installation was unable to reply to thread, as an administrator, or create a new thread. In both cases the process seemed to hang-up and left me on a blank page (as far as I can tell it was blank as I was in safari).

I have tried disabling just the Akismet service but that did not solve my problem. Any suggestions? I would really like to be able to use your software on our forums at www.empirisoft.com/support.

Thanks!

Hi ForceHSS, what fixes are you talking about? I've tried looking for it on this thread with no results. Thanks for your help
