MyBB version is 1.8.5.
I woke up today to find that spam bots have found my forum and I don't know how to stop them.
I was looking at the recaptcha plugins and I don't see any for 1.8.5. I've also tried adding more security questions, but the bots still seem to get by with no issue.
Is there any plugin (or setting I'm not seeing) I can download that would stop these bots from registering and posting?
Edit: Just realized I posted this thread in the wrong forum! Don't see an option to delete the thread, Sorry mods.
Edit #2: Found there is a hidden recaptcha setting under Admin CP > Login and Registration Options
