Paul, the mod is kicking off users who try to register if they put in an IM address asking if they are a spambot. Can you update the mod?

Thanks

Note to self: Anti-Spam ACP mod ( http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=465600 ) installed (in theory)

Could you download the latest version and email it to me? I'm having a hard time getting it here in China. Thanks.

I got this from someone trying to register:

"Alan,

Thank you for the quick response.

I have tried with both my home ([email protected]) address and my
spare which is [email protected], I get the same error message with both.
I am not sure what you mean by an IM address. I have also tried registering
from another PC but again, get the same problem.

Regards

Geoff"

Tell people to turn off their E-mail signature to register.
