| It looks like you've got a problem with spammers hijacking your registration process. I've only been registered at the site for an hour and I've already noticed 2 'new members' being respectively a porn site and a prescription drugs selling site. I strongly recommend that you review your security. |

I know of at least one auto-register spam bot which is able to bypass the visual confirmation during the user registration process. Unfortunately my security report at phpBB.com/security is untouched for more than a month. |

We've solved the problem.. now there is another one, human users can't guess the visual confirmation code from first attempt. 
But it's cool, registration is based on user's karma.. the attempts to guess the code are limited.. if the user is lucky he get's registered if not... then he can try again in 30 minutes
