    I will look into how they do this.

    You can just enable a registration question that would stop most of the spammers from registering due to the fact they are from other countries and have limited knowledge of the English language. A question such as "What color is Blue?" would fool most of the spammers guaranteed

    This is all great news. Thanks for all the effort.

    I think having logs tied to each persons profile could be a good thing in the future.

    I havw the shoutbox in the list of things to incorporate, but I think I might have an issue with it fitting in with the new theme. I will try though.

    Cool. I knew you were on it. I just wonder that if we get to big, will the shoutbox get too flooded and spammed up. I guess we would find out when the time came. Don't go breaking your back for me, if it doesn't fit the theme though.

    John just a warning, before you commit to buy VB5 make sure it is compatible with your hosting. I recently purchased a VB5 license and it turns out GoDaddy doesnt have the correct MySql for it.

    Just a warning before you waste money. If you need any help with anything lemme know and I will see what I can assist with

    I like datbtru setup but yes that is going to limit members and it appears you are trying to build a commercial site

    Upgrade the captcha to help prevent spam bots

    Thread tagging is a plugin. You can do it for vB4 not sure if its available for vB5 yet

    With this current vB version there is a blog function. Could possibly use the blog as a log and then it will be connected to username that way but AM tried something similar to this in the past and it wasn't too great and they ended up canning it because no one used it

    They usually add in pretty seamlessly

    Good idea, actually.
