IPBSupport.de Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 The index.php?app=forums&module=extras§ion=forward&url=TOPICURL Page (Share this link via Email) need a Captcha! At the moment the form abused by Spambots to send Spam from the forum. Hope IPS will fix it ASAP (highly recommended at 3.1.2). :ph34r: Here a Screenshot of a Spammail (see the message between the failure notice message): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Digital-Photography-Forums Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Can't you disable it for guests/non-registred users? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPBSupport.de Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 There are no option to disable it per member group. I have temporarily disabled the "Share this link via E-Mail" Service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haku2 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I think that there should be a permissions system and a CAPTCHA option for the "Share this link via Email" feature. Hopefully, these things can be implemented in IP.Board 3.1.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management Matt Posted July 7, 2010 Management Share Posted July 7, 2010 I have added a captcha for this for 3.1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Lane! Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Given the immediate abuse potential (which can get a site's emails blacklisted hurting valid registration emails) can we get a patch for this? Also if the facebook login css/skin (overflow with custom fields) error has been fixed can that be added too? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 We are focusing heavily on getting 3.1.2 wrapped up and ready for release. That means we don't exactly have enough time write not to be releasing piece-meal patches (and I suspect this patch isn't just a couple of lines of code in one file either), but instead are trying to get the entire release ready for everyone as soon as possible. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Lane! Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 :). Hoping that this comes soon. I think 3.1.2 will tighten up the boat quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPBSupport.de Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'll add a captcha to the page and add the ability to turn it off for guests. I have added a captcha for this for 3.1.2 Maybe im wrong, but i think we need the ability to turn off the captcha for members (not only for guests).

zatzllc Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Was this change made and distributed? Because I still have the issue. I'd rather have a choice of captcha and questions -- and certainly I'd like to shut it off for guests and other groups (e.g. banned). I've had this actively exploited.

.time Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Was this change made and distributed? Because I still have the issue. I'd rather have a choice of captcha and questions -- and certainly I'd like to shut it off for guests and other groups (e.g. banned). I've had this actively exploited. If it's a problem for you, just disable it. I'd like to know how many people actually use that button anyway. If I want to share a thread with a friend, a "real" email telling them about it is a lot more personal than some forum-generated "Look at this!" message.
