KeyDog, thank for suggestions. Turns out my hoster routes output traffic via some kind of gate ip, which was blocked by SFS due to a severe abuse. Now the block is removed, and the extension works just fine (as it used to).
The only thing I could wish now is for this extension to check registering user's email along with ip...

I'm going to give a try to the second one, although I'd like to allow quest posting to certain areas of my forum, and this extension does not check those. The first one is "no go" since I'm yet to upgrade to 1.4...

Still getting a lot of spam registrations from ip's already in SFS database, some of them quite a few days. When I try the http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?ip={ip} link with spammers' ips manually, it shows "yes", but the extension does not seem to work...

Yes, they complete registration, and that's the problem -- I did not notice this until we got a few hundred dormant spambot registrations among verified users.

Re: How to remove spambot registrations? (4 replies, posted in Discussions)
Both do not work for me:
- as far as I understood, the first one checks posts database (and I'm not sure what it does then since the outcome was a list of 4 legitimate users, no spambot registrations), while I need to remove registrations with zero posts from those whose ip's are in sfs database;
- did not try the second one, but it won't work since spambot registrations I'm getting do not have signatures.
And yes, I downloaded the most recent banned ips file from stopforumspam.

Topic: How to remove spambot registrations? (4 replies, posted in Discussions)
I have StopForumSpam.com antispam extension installed (v. 1.1.2), but still getting 30+ spam registrations daily. Is there any reasonably easy way to remove those registrations? I.e. some kind of script that would compare registrations with downloaded stopforumspam.com's bannedips.csv file and remove those with zero posts?

Topic: Trash can / Recycle bin (0 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
Is there a working extension that would substitute deleting posts and topics with moving them to a designated forum?
I know one can split posts to a new topic and then move that topic to the designated forum, but that's two steps instead of one.
P.S. Idea for an extension: add an option for moderators to hide posts. Hidden posts would be shown to moderators only. Also moderators would be able to unhide hidden posts.

I have 1.1.2 version installed, however, I just got several guest posts from IPs already in stopforumspam database (for more than a month).
This is not supposed to happen, right? What could be the problem?

Re: Stop mods from Silent Editing (4 replies, posted in Feature requests)
I had a similar request, but not because I don't trust my moderators. Let's put it this way: I believe the option "Silent edit" should be Off by default.

Topic: Migration from php4 to php5 (0 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 discussion)
I'm going to move my PunBB 1.3 forum from server running php4 to a server running php5.
Will I have to make any changes/ajustments to scripts, configuration, etc.?
Forum currently uses "File based (fancy)" URL scheme, if that matters.
Also, current server is Win 2003 with Apache module, the new one is Linux 2.6. I guess I'll have to chmod manually certain folders -- unless there is an easier way to do that. (Is there?)

Re: [extension release] JS post quote (pun_quote) (14 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
Bug report:
select a text, click on "Quick quote", observe: selected text is inserted (as a quote) into quick reply form, immediately after that you're redirected to "Post new reply" page with full message quoted.
Happens on this forum when using IE 6.0 (don't know about other versions).

Re: [extension request] iphone view (9 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
The answer is "there is no such style, and nobody is willing or can make it".
What I was trying to say is that a) it should not be limited to iphone, and b) the subject has already been discussed on this forum several times. While it's not bad to raise it again, it would be much better if people use search first and than bump one of the existing topics instead of making a new one.

Current version needs extra work: if topic is closed and user is not admin or moderator, topic messages should not contain “Reply” and “Quick quote” links in them.

Yeah, one approach is to wait until a small screen device (320 pix wide) becomes a rare beast and thus the need for small-screen style disappears.
I do believe that people will use such devices for web browsing for quite a few years though. Also I believe that the lack of such style is one of the major drawbacks of punbb compared to some other forums.

Re: [extension release] pun_admin_manage_extensions_improved (13 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
What this extension lacks is a warning message when "Reinstall" is clicked, similar to that given when "Uninstall" is clicked (that all data associated with the extension being reinstalled will be permanently deleted from the database).
Might save a major headache to an unexeperienced user.

That's the question. I don't want to change version number since it's not my extension and I want to see via extension manager when a new version arrives.

Topic: Extension update question (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
Is there any way to update an extension without deleting it and without changing version number
Say, I made some minor change to an extension that uses extra database fields. How do I install it?
If I delete it first, database fields will be deleted, but I want to keep them.
Is there any way to install the changed version without changing version number and without deleting it?
