Sorry the forum is being hi jacked and I have no control over it. I have contacted Admin and hopefully they will be able to fix this.

Yeah, I've tried for past several days to 'REPORT' the foreign posts but after I type in my complaint & 'submit' I get an error message that stops everything. Glad you're aware of it, hope Admin is able to stop it.

Hi Spanky

I run another forum and had the same unwanted posts problem. There's an easy fix for it. The registration question needs to change.

The posts are coming from bots that can figure out how to register automatically. These things use optical character recognition algorithms to figure out the Captcha so using this style of Captcha isn't good enough anymore.

The easiest and most effective thing to do is change the registration to use a question/answer that really easy for a human looking at the screen to figure out but near impossible for a bot to figure out. Something simple like Q: "what color are the letters in the AdventureRV.net logo above?" A: "red". The phpBB allows for multiple correct answers like "Red" or "RED" so you can cover off any version of the answer. You can also have several different questions so each time someone registers its a different question than the one before.

I'm not sure what version this forum is running but there's a new upgrade to version 3.0.12 (see the phpBB website for details). Apparently the earlier versions have a security issue, but I don't think its related to the posts.

I made the above registration changes in my ATV club's forum and all of the unwanted registrations and bot posts stopped right away. I haven't seen any since and that was almost a year ago that I made the change.

Hope this helps

Thanks Aqualung,
I am just the mod. so all I can do is let Admin. know whats happening and they try to clean it up. That is what happened in this case. I am an over the road trucker and try to keep up with the forum but sometimes its hard to do. I hope everyone will have patience and stick with our little forum.
Gary
