Hej Team,

I was on 1.4.10 and for the last month or so was getting at least 10 spam registrations per day.

I just upgraded successfully to 1.4.16 and am still getting spam / bot registrations.

Any ideas?

Is this something I just have to live with? Or is there an inherent vulnerability to bots?

I do allow guest access to view. Do do not allow guest uploads. I also require email verification.

Use the captch plugin for registration.

Upon searching the forum for your suggestion, this is all I came up with.

Please, could you (or anyone else) provide a little more information. 

Thank you in advance.

Disregard previous post.  It seems I only needed another half an hour to find it.  I hate being new to someplace.

For anyone else needing to know where to go, here is a direct link to where you want.
