Hello there, I am using Joomla 1.5.x and Phoca Guestbook 1.5.3 and have a lot of problems with SPAM bots.
One of them from Russia (by IP) is publishing comments and read the captcha - publish about 50-100 comments in one time. Please, help with this issue?

Hi,

Which 1.5.? The last version is: 1.5.26. In addition you have to load a security patch:
http://anything-digital.com/blog/securi ... stall.html - which is NOT included in full package of J 1.5.26!
and Phoca Guestbook 1.5.3 and have a lot of problems with SPAM bots.
Have a look please here: https://www.phoca.cz/documents/3-phoca-g ... -from-spam
