SMF help

[hytparadisee]

I just have my SMF installed and i was wondering where do I find the settings for "enable manual approval of new member registration". Now all my members can be registered without even having an email notification, but i want to handle it manually.

Admin->Members->Registration->Settings->"Method of registration employed for new members" ??

My smf forum is has problems with the spam and I cant upgrade it to the last version. I have 1.0.8 but anyway. Egon, How do you fixed the spammers?

[EgonOlsen]

I havn't done much against them. I've enabled the build in captcha and set it to "high"...that's all. Until now, it seems to help.

Thanks Egon, exactly over there.

So there IS a difference between setting the captcha complexity level to "high" than "medium", isn't it?

I dun see much difference? Will bots really interpret them with difficulty at "high" complexity? Perhaps because i'm human

[EgonOlsen]

I've no idea. I've never tried a lower setting. I'm just glad that no bot has appeared until now, so i'll leave it like it is.
