The forum was down for the past hour or so while we upgraded to use the new phpBB version 3.0.10, which includes some new features and fixes that should help cut down the spam bots that has been plaguing our forum. Cheers!

Glad to see this update has stopped the spammers getting through....oh wait,a spammer is loose on the forums....
guess not then lol

I have gone ahead and set a new reCaptcha key. Let's hope it will do the job. Otherwise we need a more secure word-challenge replacement.

Lets hope it does work,the spammers effectively stop people from posting on the forums as they fear their posts will be hijacked by the spammers.Only seems to be a lucky few who escape the wrath of the spammers lol

Opinions of others ??

I removed reCaptcha for now and switch to use Q&A for registration. This should be able to stop most of the spam bots (unless it's a human instead of a bot doing the registration).

Cool, hope that works

But it slowed it down significantly, which is a major plus compared to before...
