Just curious what others are using with best success now days on new members. I was using CAPTCHA for awhile but a few spammers were slipping through the cracks so now I send everyone to the registration queue. This has worked great until now. I have decided to expand the forum to a larger demographic of people across the U.S. The registration queue worked good when it was only people from my home state. If it was not a local ip address I deleted it. Now that I have expanded , I expect more registrations. Any thoughts,

In UBB.Threads 7.5.8:
Control Panel > Primary Settings > Stop Forum Spam

Further information on that can be found @ http://www.ubbwiki.com/wiki/view/63/stop-forum-spam.html

7.5.8 refresh; the initial 7.5.8 didn't have it included (UBB.Wiki 7.5.8 Changelog).

Thanks again, Giz. I wish they actually called it "7.5.8 refresh" or even "7.5.8.2"

Instead, they released 7.5.8.1 a day after 7.5.8 and then a week later, released another version of UBBT with a bunch of new features and called it 7.5.8 frown yeah, I'm still bitter about the confusion they cause by doing that.
