The SWF format will be back on I believe, it was a little while ago, they must be making some more changes.

That's a great question. Especially now that the registration has that fancy "type the code" thing, and the spammers accounts are all registered today.

Have admin try changing the wording of the forum title, and maybe the order it appears on in the list. If those things don't help, they will at least help narrow down what it's NOT.
Ostensibly, these are automated spam bots, not humans, so there is something about that forum that's making it a target, so I'd try changing the characteristics of it.
I've got a buddy who used to run a forum based on this version of vBulletin. I'll give him a call and see if he has any ideas.

1Journey, I'm sending you a PM on this.

Apparently it is not just spam-bots, but humans who are inputting the visual field requirements. SWF is layering on more protections.
Obviously, finally ridding the forum of spammers takes precedence over the other tidbits that need work, so bear with us.

Ok, I'm sorry, but if mods get sigs I think we should too. Its kind of rude IMO. And I love the new format because it is much faster.

I'm not sure Sigs will be turned on for members as I'm not sure Mods have the ability to moderate any that go against Forum Rules.
