Hi AllenAyres,
Thanks for replying. I'm using UBB.classic 6.7.2 with flood protection on.
A lot of my members are very computer un-savvy, and they have trouble with the signup process. Quite unlike the skill-level of UBBDev members...so, email verification is beyond most of them.
Is there a change to the GET or POST line in a UBB script that will allow me to universally change the name of the "submit" variable involved, so that pre-made spam scripts fail?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Here, BTW, is a logfile of the attack, if that helps (note the 404 errors at the start)
