This is a first release of new extension pun_stop_bots. The extension will ask some questions to prevent bot registration and posting. More information you can find in the Wiki. There are only two questions in the DB after installation, so don't forget to add more questions.

It will be great to hear your opinions and suggestions on improvement of the extension.

Is there a reason that none of the links to the plugin work? Is this plugin actually working with punBB 1.4.4?

OK:) The problem seems to have sorted itself out but I now see another one. In the downloaded folder found on http://punbb.informer.com/ - actual url, http://punbb.informer.com/download/punbb-1.4.4.zip, the admin folder does not contain any styles and the administration side of the forum appears unstyled. I found the css by checking the source code here but I think that the issue needs to be addressed. I am also checking other minor problems which I will report here.

Hi Visman, I can verify that new members can register too. The problem remains with the over 120 existing ones who can not login as the system returns the following error:

Warning! The following errors must be corrected before you can login:
Incorrect username and/or password.

Would this have something to do with the passwords in the db?

I temporarily copied the forum  on another url with higher versions of php and mysql on http://bit.ly/1ToCJlc

PHP version: 5.6.14
MySQL: 5.5.32-cll-lve

The error persists.

My local test forum in

and config have

$base_url = 'http://localhost/punbb';

if delete $base_url in config, to url of the server is defined automatically.


P.S. Give the reference to forum with your problem.

Hi Visman, thanks again. The forum is a private one with about 120 members. The owners unfortunately want to keep it such way.

Hi Visman, firstly, many thanks for your suggestions which unfortunately did not get me anywhere yet.

Looking at the config.php file I see a difference from the old one:

$base_url = 'http://domain.tld/forum'

. When I commented that line out I get the following error message:

Warning! The following errors must be corrected before you can login:
Incorrect username and/or password.

With the line in action when trying to login, nothing happens. Would this be giving some clues as to what I might be facing?

I create TestUser. Login, logout, login - all OK.
P.S. Delete the cookies in your browser. Сlear your browser cache.

I did both. I also used another browser and the problem remains both for me and all the members who are all locked out from the forum just now. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the server specs. Can a dev advice on this?

I recently upgraded to the latest PunBB version on Apache server with PHP version: 5.3.29, MySQL: 5.5.32-cll-lve, PHP server API: cgi-fcgi. The forum seem to have worked for about a week but as from yesterday, o member can log in.

I checked that all files have been transferred properly via sftp and the update seem to have run smoothly during the update.

Could someone advice me on how we could regain the functionality?

Hi guys

I'm not a programmer. I put together this extension after advice from people in this forum. Please feel free to update, enrich or adopt it.

Is it possible to set permissons (passwords) for specific FORUMS.

you can set specific custom groups to view those forums with the same l/p they use for the rest

You can add

Hi Luca

Go to Administration > User Groups > Guests and set up their privileges there.

there used to be a plugin/mod for that. Maybe you should check the appropriate forum

You should nevertheless upgrade as there are security problems with the 1.2 branch

As there is sometimes a delay between a report of a spam post to the deletion of the user, it would be good if there was an extension (even better if it was a core functionality) which marks all banned users' links (including those in their profile) with a rel="nofollow" attribute.
