Sorry, I didnt get it... Do you mean to say that I should download the zip file of punbb 1.4.2 again and copy its content to my forum folder?

Re: Fancy Stop SPAM
So I'm trying this out, I logged out and when I try to log back in I get the message:
Sorry, but we think you are bot. You cant login on this forum.
I'm using Lastpass to login - I suspect this is the cause. When I type out my username and password it works fine.
update
Yes, looks like this is due to enabling Enable honeypot protection on the Login form. I'm guessing last pass is filling in some hidden input tags which is causing the problem!

Re: Fancy Stop SPAM
I am trying out this extension on a forum running PubBB 1.4.2 with a Postgresql database. The extension installs fine, but when I click on the Antispam section in Administration, I receive this error:
Sorry! The page could not be loaded.
This is probably a temporary error. Just refresh the page and retry. If problem continues, please check back in 5-10 minutes.
On another forum, same PunBB version, but MySQL database, I don't get the error. I am guessing this extension is not compatible with Postgresql? This is with fancy stop spam version 1.3.52.
UPDATE: It seems the problem is due to this extension using the MySQL function INET_NTOA in the print_logs() function, which is not available in Postgresql. 
To fix I added an inet_ntoa function to postgresql by executing the following on my database:
create or replace function inet_ntoa(int) returns inet as '
select ''0.0.0.0''::inet+$1;'
language sql immutable;

Re: Fancy Stop SPAM
I've been having the same issue Justice had on SQLite but hadn't debugged it.
It does look like you can do the same conversion in native PHP, though, with the long2ip() function. I changed the query in line 334 of fancy_stop_spam.inc.php to just be:
'SELECT' => 'fl.activity_type, fl.ip AS ip, fl.activity_time, fl.user_id, fl.comment, u.username'and then after the while in line 348:
$cur_act['ip'] = long2ip($cur_act['ip']);and it seems to work fine. And suddenly I realize there's a lot of logging that I've never seen before.

Re: Fancy Stop SPAM
What checks about?
Major checks made in register form and we dont known number of posts for new user.
Re: Fancy Stop SPAM
Well there is an option in stop bot questions extension, which there is a an option to stop showing bot questions after xx number of posts.
From the desc of this extension, it says it does checks in post form, links in messages etc, does that mean this extension does check for every post of every user?

If you use manual registration approval — you don't need anti-spam.

Re: Fancy Stop SPAM
I have it installed on 1.4.2.
If you wish for the link, I'll give the link to the forums for you.
By the way, it's AirTran Virtual's official forums; we are constantly getting spammed by advertising bots, thus, a plugin that would really stop this flow of spam is going to help us reduce the load of alerts of new registrations in our inbox (yes, we know how to turn it off, but we want to know who has just signed up and whether is is one of our pilots).
If needed, we'll test anything you want on 1.4.2.

Re: Fancy Stop SPAM
Very nice code.
On my new forum, it's stopping all the bots with the honeypot and timeout code alone - about 100 a day. Very efficient.
For a new forum admin like me, this is a real pleasure.
Thanks much!
Re: Fancy Stop SPAM
Hi there
Not sure if this is still being supported but I recently upgraded to 1.4.2 and now I am getting inundated with spam. I tried installing this - no problem. However when I click the antispam in the settings I get that the page cannot be be found. I checked the path and admin.php is present but yet I still ge this 404 error.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks a lot

Re: Fancy Stop SPAM
Dear developers,
This extension doesn't work with PunBB-1.4.2 and the new 1.4.3: When delete a user, there's no option to report this user to stopforumspam.com (i have a valid API key).
Any plan to update this extension?
