I didn't realise we didn't have it on but, once again, only our admin can do that. Regarding the CAPTCHA image verification, I'm sure it's pretty much null and void these days as other forums that do have it on, such as my own, are still subject to hordes of spam registrations. I'm just better placed to remove them there.

Sometimes when I try to notify the Mods of spam I get a notice telling me that I am not authorized to access that page, it has just occured. What causes that?

I notice that the offending post has gone so maybe it was in the process of being removed as i tried to flag it.

Any luck with turning this on?
Without looking around...these spam bots seem to look for a "General" forum...unless there has been others in other forums here. Just noticed there were 2 more in General. Wonder if you changed the name from General to another name...if that would do anything...like to " Access Issues".

Hi to one and all,
I am a newbie to this site as i am trying to learn more about access. However I do build and run a few Websites and one of them has a Bulletin Board.
I have email verification enabled upon this which ensures the address is real. The Password to gain access to the site for posting purposes is sent to this address which ensures that no random address is used during registration.
The only downside of this is that when a user forgets a password they have to ask the administrator (Me) to either remove there account so that they may use the same email address (no duplicates are allowed) or to send them a reminder of there details.
I do not think that the level of spam that appears on this site detracts from the real posts, and i havent found it to be a problem but just thought i would add my two peneth to the post.
Regards
Bev
