Hello
I installed pun spam bot it worked upon user's registration BUT when submitting post, it ask a question which was entere correctly, rather than allowing the post to proceed, it keeps asking again and again.
My version is .3.3 on punbb1.4.1
If there is any update to it, or to get ride off the sent posting question is highly advisable
Thanks

This is a flaw of the extension
You need to manually delete the code in manifest.xml that is releated to posting (i.e. hook ".... post ")
<hook id="po_form_submitted"><![CDATA[Everything in the hook mentioned above...
Then reinstall....
To be sure, other problem does not arise, could u pls copy past what I need to remove? am sure other people will learn from this as well.
When you say reinstall, u mean from the Admin or via ftp?

Sure,
1. Uninstall via admin panel (your questions will be lost)
2. Open manifest.xml
3. Delete (from line 173)

5. Upload
6. Reinstall
7. Add your questions
(That's how I did it on a forum...)
Best would be if authors change extension to make it optional for posts to be questioned and release a new version of course.
But the quick fix is the one above, imho.
3. Delete (from line 173)
Delete from where until where is not clear to me
I opened using a notepad, and could nt find line 173
Please copy on the lines that need to be saved here and leave the rest out
Help again
could u pls copy past what I need to remove?
see above.
/end
Thanks it worked!
But i couldnt enter questions from the Admin
Had to do it on the manifext.xml and upload the questions as well cos when i clicked from Admin to change or add questions it does not open and i can see URL: http:mywebsite.com/admin/settings.php?section=pun_stop_bots_questions
And the page was black
You probably deleted further hooks below the one I copy pasted above. Sounds like code related to hook below is missing:
<hook id="aop_new_section"><![CDATA[Instead of using notepad I would recommend you download the free programme PSPad and use that (if you're on windows). It shows the row numbers and has syntax highlighter.
I have the same problem.
Will try to use the solution given above.
