Is there a way to add the spam question back to the quick reply as well as have it required for people who are logged in? From what I've read, it looks like the spam question goes away once you are logged in.

As it should be. If its a registered, logged in user that's causing your problems you've got bigger issues that can be solved by locking the account (temporarily or permanently depending on the situation.)
I'm running into the same issue RE: the missing or different code in pop_mail. Podge refers to some code he had put on an earlier page of this post, but it's no longer there. According to one of his more recent replies, he was going to try and find this...

Thats because its gone missing. I'll see if I can find it somewhere. Podge.
I (and probably others) need this because I'm no coder, so I have no idea what I should or should not be replacing in this section of this file.
podge's addition on page 3 causes the post_info.asp file to not check the gatekeeper Q/A response as the conditions of the IF are never satisfied. The {strDBNTUserName = ""} is declared earlier in the file so will always be false, so the AND condition will bring back false. The only way to get around this problem is to delete this part of the condition, and follow the mod on page 2 about moving the position of the gatekeeper check to outside the IF statements.
The pop_mail.asp can be fixed if you are using 3.4.06
Follow the first code insert. and for the second. Look for the block of code starting
if YEmail = "" then Response.Write "<input name=""YEmail"" type=""text"" value=""" & YEmail & """ size=""25"">" else Response.Write "<font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>" & YEmail & "</font>" end if
The string section under this gives you the layout for the main message box, along with the submit button.
Find the end of a table ( e.g look for the </tr> flag ) Insert JUST the IF statement from the readme. MAKE SURE you delete the { & _ } (ignore the curly braces} otherwise you will get a syntax error. And after the IF statement make sure you add the { Response.Write } before the beginning of the next string.
Here is an extract of my code, which will give you the Antispam Q/A table between the message and the submit box.
I just implemented the GateKeeper mod to my v3.4.07 message board and it seems to have fixed my spam registration problem! Initially I used a numeric answer to the question but apparently the spammers know this is common and were still getting through. Instead, I used a more unique question that seems to be working! Yaahhooo.
Thanks a great mod. I was spending a lot of time every day deleting spam registrations. Now, I do not have to check each one as I was doing.
