Thanx for your answers,

the problem is, that I think just by adding a "spamword"- function the spam will still be added into the forum. Because I allready have the function, which doesn´t allow guests to enter links or pics, but still the spam does contain links and pics. So somehow the spam gets into the database without having to pass the function which checks for links.

I think, I will try to use the version 1.3 first, maybe it will help. Is there a way to update my old version to 1.3 or do I have to do a complete new installation? How can I keep the topics and articles?

Hey,

i got a problem with my PunBB 1.2.15.
As soon as I allow guests to write posts, the whole forum will be full of spam within a few minutes. It is always the same spam containing links and pictures. I am using a captcha and the Akismet software and additionaly I don´t allow guests to enter links or pics in their posts. But even though there is spam. And now I am wondering, how this spam can be inserted into the database. Could there be some programm that has settled down into my forum system? Because there is no chance that it is entered via the usual post field. How can I get rid of it?

I hope somebody can help me.

Thanx
