with all the recent excitement, I'm going to ask this directly instead of it getting lost in other threads..

how would I add botscout to my forum registration? it is just one line of code that needs to be added, and 2 lines of configuration, I just have no idea where to put that one line of code!

http://botscout.com/

Untested:

/scripts/adduser.inc.php

just behind:

Code
$smarty_data = array();

and those 2 lines of configcode looks to me like it has to be:

Code
	$XUSER = $Loginname;
	$XMAIL = $Email;

The adduser script it the script that gets called when a user hits the submit button on a registration.

If it works, let us know. If not, also let us know and I'll dig in deeper.

thank you!
I added it, it doesn't seem to stop valid registrations, but unfortunately, I have no way to test it without getting my own IP added to the list, will have to wait and see.

Would be best if they would just supply some test credentials that would block registration, but does nothing more.

Yeh, sandboxes for some API's are very useful...

problem is, if they provide test credentials, then the spammers could use them as well.

test credentials should block, and not provide a way in.

Besides that, you could setup a special account set of test-accounts per api key.

Yarp, are you missing an include somewhere? All I see is two variables being assigned, but no mechanism to use them. ?

Not missing an include really, I was just pointing out the place where the include should be done. Maybe I should have been clearer about that.

I had guessed as much, and that is where put it.
it would be nice if the install read me was a bit more clear,
like the path for the include, is it absolute or relative? I have it as relative at the moment
