Title: SMF help
Post by: hytparadisee on May 26, 2007, 06:02:46 pm

I just have my SMF installed ;D and i was wondering where do I find the settings for "enable manual approval of new member registration". Now all my members can be registered without even having an email notification, but i want to handle it manually.

I havn't done much against them. I've enabled the build in captcha and set it to "high"...that's all. Until now, it seems to help.

Thanks Egon, exactly over there.

So there IS a difference between setting the captcha complexity level to "high" than "medium", isn't it?

I dun see much difference? Will bots really interpret them with difficulty at "high" complexity? Perhaps because i'm human ;D

I've no idea. I've never tried a lower setting. I'm just glad that no bot has appeared until now, so i'll leave it like it is.
