MyBB Community Forums

I don't know if this is just a coincidence or if it is something with the update but I have been getting quite a few more spam bots signing up for my forum. Out of curiosity, what are other doing to prevent these guys from signing up? I have my forum set where I have to manually activate each new member. This gets to be a pain though with all these bots signing up.

If there isn't anything I can do... is there a way to get these members to not show up on the daily birthday list until they are activated as legit members?

Thanks for any assistance.

Thanks all! I will look into that tonight because it is getting to be a pain!

What are some of the typical questions that everyone uses?
