Topic: Stop-Spam Question doesn't work correctly.

Recently, I received some reports that some people couldn't register in my PunBB board, to make sure, I personally tried registering section out, It occurs it's true, When someone go to register in my forums, After entering mail address and Username [and submitting the registration form] He/She will see an input element that tells us to enter the answer of anti-robot question, That's when there's no any question to answer. Have in mind that I set the questions in the administration panel.

I temporarily solved this problem, I set only one question in admin panel, that means in anti-robot question there's only one anwer  and when we enter that answer, the registration process works correctly.

I hope someone can help me to improve this problem.

1. Where the link to this extension which causes an error?
2. Where log of server errors (error.log)? Show errors here.

I don't know what's the name of that extension, because it's translated to persian, but if I translate it for you, It maybe something like this:
Stop spams by robots, by PunBB development team, V.0.3.3

When I go to the registration page ( Security Question ) Ther's no any error, Only thing happens is requesting some answer without existing any questions. ( I don't think it's required to check the Errors log page out.
But if you need, I can check error.log later, because now, I don't have permission to my CPanel.
Update: I found that extension, it's name is:

pun_stop_bots v0.3.3
The extension will ask some questions to prevent bot registration and posting.

And you can get the zip file of the extension here.

Registration doesn't work correctly. Pay attention that all extensions I use are translated to Persian.
I think the problem is with my PHP version ( seven ) and another thing, I use the following pattern to addressing threads in my forum ( I chose it in administration panel + I renamed .httaccess.dist to .httaceess to run it. )

/forums/post11.html#p11

Also I use Urban theme. These are all of my board information, the important point is my board's security question doesn't work yet.

Re: Stop-Spam Question doesn't work correctly.

Any way to make "Stop spam from bots" more updated for php 7.4 or php 8.0? I have some errors on this extension, i had to desactive, the other problem is that it asks questions to members and guests, it would be better to ask only guests.
