Re: How to deal with spam through contact us on forum


Ok, well I checked the setting's and image verification is on and is set to GD (True Type Font)..

So i went to test it to send myself a e-mail..

No image verification shows up..

So I went back, and changed it to GD (Simple Font) vBulletin doesn't recommend this setting..

I went back to test and still no image verfication so I pushed send..


This is what I got after both e-mails were sent to get back to the forum I just pushed my link in my favorites..

Configuration: includes/config.php does not exist. Please fill out the data in config.php.new and rename it to config.php
Plus I also got both test e-mails......

EDIT: I logged out of my forum and tried the contact us....it works perfectly with image verification and everything...and also returns to the forum after it is sent.
