Please read the note below before applying this change. In scripts\adduser.inc.php: Find: Code if ($xml->appears == "yes") { PostToHost("username=". $Loginname ."&ip_addr=". $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] ."&email=". $Email ."&api_key=". $config['SFS_KEY']); Replace With: Code $xml_ip_string = @file_get_contents("http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?ip=". $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]); $xml_ip = new SimpleXMLElement($xml_ip_string); if (($xml->appears == "yes") \|\| ($xml_ip->appears == "yes")) { if ($xml->appears == "yes") { PostToHost("username=". $Loginname ."&ip_addr=". $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] ."&email=". $Email ."&api_key=". $config['SFS_KEY']); } Please leave your thanks below so we can know that we've helped you! Note: SD has posted a far easier modification for this; In scripts/adduser.inc.php Find: Code $xml_string = @file_get_contents("http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?email=". $Email); Replace With: Code $xml_string = @file_get_contents("http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?email=". $Email .

We're also using it here at UBBDev. UBB.Dev - Putting Dev into UBB.threads Company: VNC Web Services - UBB.threads Scripts and Scripting, Install and Upgrade Services, Site and Server Maintenance.
