MyBB Community Forums

Hi I got a few questions... i would love to talk about with experienced people here... hope to get some positive feedbacks...


1) I added Alexa ranking at the bottom of the forum .. and for last few days it started showing as 2 ... same thing twice.. so i deactivated and reactivated it and now its showing 3 same thing.

2) I've had a massive hit by spam registration and link post. So I installed a few modules

• Stop Forum Spam
  
• Goodbye Spammer
  
• Akismet
  
• KeyCAPTCHA
  

now the problem is those spammers posted over 2000 posts and threads even tho they got banned right after the modules were activated and threads got deleted but it still shows on the forum .. when u click in .. it says no specific thread exists. When i tried to manually delete them, it gave me same error saying i needed to select any existing thread to perform delete action.

Example: http://gourob.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=14

3) Now a request, is there any module or addon which I can use to show my IRC server's staff list on my mybb forum ? Im searching too but still no luck ...

thanks for reading...

Install Security Question plugin it should stop most of the spambots from being able to register

ah great will keep it in the list, ... it seems pretty stable now, but if it seems to go out of the hand again ill install it.. thank u

1. find multiple instances of the plugin related code segments in the footer template and keep only one
2. first I'd suggest to disable Akismet plugin as it might also ban genuine members

And try running Recount & Rebuild tools available at tools & maintenance section
admin panel >> tools & maintenance >> Recount & Rebuild --> run all (one by one)
3. not sure that such modification exists

thanks for the reply .m. ... i already tried Recount and rebuild but those ghost threads are still there..

Or you can use this stable and very simple but effective plugin called "Signup Questions" to stop those spambots
