Upgrading forum

[marathondan]

Hmm, so the bots are getting in through the back door...

As usual it's unlikely that I'm suggesting anything you haven't already investigated, but there's a thread here about bot prevention using plugins. Some options seem to be:

- "checkbox validation" plugin - sounds a bit of a waste of time, and anyway doesn't stop registrations
- security questions / captcha - again, doesn't stop registrations
- "Fassim" plugin - someone claims it works, but doesn't sound too exciting from the writeup
- "Registration Security Question" mod "with patch" - someone claiming this is doing the job for them

As I say you've probably seen all this stuff already but you never know...

PS - I'm sure you've already seen there's a whole security forum
