Hi All
I've just upgraded a very old 1.18 Version of PunBB due to constant massive spam attacks and bots etc.
I have installed the newest version of PunBB 1.4.2 today and with a lot of experimenting, have managed to import all the data from the old version of the forum to the newest version, so very happy with that as I have never played with Mysql and myphpadmin much.
So the reason for the upgrade to the newest version was only due to bots and spam attacks which I got sick of constantly wasting my time cleaning up.
My questions are:
How bot and spam proof is the standard 1.4.2 PunBB install ??
What are the main 2 or 3 extensions to add from a bot and spam point of view to 1.4.2 PunBB installation?
What are the other major must have extensions for PunBB 1.4.2 that you consider ?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Jimbo
