Default Admin sort it out

Admin i have guys trying to join here and are posting me on other sites saying they can`t post here ,whats up ?
There is also server issues and double posting ,whats up with that aswell?

Scotscruz is willing to help ,please pm him before we go "tits up".

I posted this here instead of the "Moderators Lounge" so everyone can see our hands are tied this is an Admin problem only.

Hey Guys,

so i put some filters in the 'create account' admin area so it blocks more spambots from joining but looks like a few real accounts are getting blocked.

Mods - are you able to make them registered users?

I'm checking my mail once in a while and just activated 20 users so Rigby and many others should be able to post now

I really need to find a good handy programmer that can add a good capcha...

im on the search guys


thanks

Does your version of vBulletin not already have a captcha option installed

On my site, admitttedly we are running a later version that you are in 3.8.2 but we have one in the Admin control panel options .....



If not - you can add it from Here perhaps ?

There is already capcha but it is a easy one for spammers to break.


The best solution is to get a new capcha, as i dont think any mods want to approve new members daily?
