Hi

I was wondering if our Forum needed to have the Captcha signup added as just recently we have been getting 1 per day an odd looking username sihning up and then not posting anything. Most of our members know each other and these appear to be African sounding names with gmail/aol addresses is there a way to find out from the IP where they originate. ?

Regards
John

I'd definitely recommend activation the "captcha" for the member signup - it doesn't really bother the "humans" who try to sign up and is very effective in denying any automated registration attempts.

there a several websites where you can get information about an IP-Address i.e. http://ip-lookup.net/
