What’s the best way to prevent spam user account registration?

I’ve tried the “Human Test for bbPress” plug-in but it seems to stop working with 1.0 RC.

Any other plug-ins out there that are a good way to prevent spam user account registeration?

On the registeration page, it asks the user to enter in Occupation and Interest.

I want to completely remove these fields.

How?

I’m trying to change the post author link which is displayed as ‘Key Master’ (for example) to ‘User profile’. Tried lots of variations having looked through the bbPress template functions file, but can’t get it to work. The top part of my post.php code is this at present;

<div class="threadauthor">

<?php avatarupload_display(get_post_author_id()); ?>

<p>

<strong><?php post_author_link(); ?></strong><br />

<small><?php post_author_title(); ?></small>

</p>

</div>

The post_author_link() line becomes;

<a href="http://mbforum.letsdoo.org/profile/michael">Key Master</a>

I realise I’m just not grasping how the PHP code/functions work, so if anyone thinks, “Oh yeah, all you do is…” I’d be very grateful for an answer.

Hey,

I’m also stuck at a similar stage to some others here, although it seems to be step 0 on the basis that I don’t even see the “let’s get started” link. I have uploaded the files to the server, but cannot find anywhere to go from there. No files appear to do anything positive. If I go to bbpressbb-admininstall.php I get:

Warning: main(BB_PATHbb-admin/class-install.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in domain/html/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php on line 12

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘BB_PATHbb-admin/class-install.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php-4.4.8-1/share/pear’) in domain/html/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php on line 12

I have looked at installing libraries, but can’t find where to start. I know this is starting back at the beginning and I would really rather have worked this out, but I can’t think how to move forward from here.

Thanks for any help.

I know it’s a long shot, but has anyone out there had the misfortune of dealing with YAF before?

Recently I volunteered to move and fix an install of YetAnotherForum.NET, and after looking under the hood, I’d really like to scrap YAF and move it to just about any other forum software, especially a platform that could be migrated to bbPress.

Any mad scientists with wild ideas?

I’ll be glad to PayPal someone $20 to add a simple navigation header to my forums.

My main site is at http://www.jawsurgeryblog.com

I would like a similar header, doesn’t have to be perfect, but simply include the logo and navigation links, at the top of my forums here:

http://www.jawsurgeryblog.com/forums/

Just let me know which wordpress and bbpress files you would need, unless you can do it all via View Source, then as soon as it’s up and running, I’ll PayPal the $20 right away.

If you need anything else, just let me know.

Thanks,

Brandon

Hi,

Is it possible to have one page with the main forum and then another page with one just one discussion?

Thanks

I have been searching and searching for a solution to this but cannot find anything having similar issues. I recently installed wpmu, buddypress & bbpress and have it all integrated for the most part. The problem is when I go t the bbpress admin panel most of the functionality is gone.

All I see on the left side navigation is Forums, Topics, Posts & Users. I have no way of activated plugins or themes and whatever else there is to do(it’s been so many days I forget what all was there). I tried to browse to plugins.php and it just redirects me back to the forum homepage.

Anybody experience anything similar?

I was reading a thread yesterday about bbPress registration emails not reaching new members. I can’t find it now, but there were comments in the thread about ISPs having limits, and maybe even auto-banning you from shared server space as a spammer. In case it’s of use to anyone, I emailed my UK hoster, kNet Hosting, and got this reply today;

Hi Michael,

We have a sending limit of 1000 mails per hour for SMTP mail from your account.

Sending mails from scripts e.g., a forum is not included in this so there are no limits. Obviously the higher rate that you send them could mean they are more likely to be flagged as spam by the major ISP’s.

Let me know if I can assist with this further.

Hi,

I’ve been reading on a forum that sending emails to groups of people via your server space can trigger alerts, get you banned from major players like Google and others, and even banned from your hoster. I don’t have many forum members at present, but if I got say, a few hundred, and sent everyone an email would it cause problems?

Essentially, I guess my question is what limits are there for this on shared hosting?
