Please can someone advise, getting more and more junk here

Try using these extensions aswell:

Stopforumspam.com

and send me any offending posts so I can add their URLs to the database for the extension URL Checker

Re: What to do against junk registrations

Thanks KeyDog, still getting loads of sign ups and Spam with Stopforumspam.com (downloaded the top link), and this Fancy Spam. Any other pointers? Think I'll just have to delete the forum sad Is there anyone I could email the log-in details to see if they can make any better tweaks?

Re: What to do against junk registrations

Try one or more of these

Pun Approval :  (manual approval of new registrants)
http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/ … napproval/

and

Pun Stop Bots: (set a question specific to your forum visitors)
http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/ … nstopbots/

and

ReCaptcha:
http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/22738/recaptcha/

and mod your profile.php in root as explained in this post (just need to get an API key from stopforumspam.com) - the changed profile.php lets you delete a user while submitting him to sfs at the same time...

Disable automatic registrations and force newbies to email their chosen username.
