Thanks for your tip on this subject. I had never heard of "turnstile" - so just did an internet search and found "Cloudflare Turnstile is a free tool to replace CAPTCHAs" and I recall that 'Cloudflare' was mentioned by others on this thread. When I first set up my Xenforo forum a few years...

Put in the most simple Xenforo built-in (FREE) registration security Captcha feature and it works just fine!

[Link to Best Solution in post #6 above] Thanks very much. Actually, I just discovered that XENFORO offers several options for automatically screening new registrations. I only just this morning read up on the built-in CAPTHA opions to check for 'Human vs robot' . . . . . . . . . . . . . How...

Thank you very much. I guess I will have to carefully review all of the suggestions posted in this thread... sorry for posting a 'lazy' superfluous post but I guess I was trying to avoid a whole 5 minutes of studying this thread which appeared to have several solutions to the 'Human' problem...

Can I add a "I AM HUMAN" test to my forum REGISTRATION? I FOUND THIS RELEVANT THREAD. With various solutions suggested above. Can anybody recommend the easiest solution to block spammer robots from flooding my forum? I have gotten over 317 new registrations - all flagged as Stop-forum-spam...

Oh, the exact answer is on WIKIPIDIA - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XenForo#Release_history

PS. thanks FTL for answering my other problem about current release of Xenforo "[Well yeah, there have and the latest is 2.2.13. The latest always appears here:]" PS. when I wasn't sure what was causing the text icon 'problem' I wanted to make sure that I had updated to the most current...

Thanks again. I think that TOGGLE BBCODE SWITCH was the problem. As I have not been using BBcode - and that switch is normally 'hidden' under the three verticle does on the right I didn't realize that clicking on the [ ] (bbcode toggle icon) would 'grey out all the normal text icons... I...

Thanks for the suggestions. Where can they find the switch for "BBCode mode"??? - OH!! I NEVER SAW THAT SWITCH!!! ON THE UPPER LEFT "[ ]" Where should I look for the "click the [] 's icon" ??? - - OH!! I NEVER SAW THAT SWITCH!!! ON THE UPPER LEFT "[ ]" INTERESTING - I'll let them know and see...

A couple users on my forum have had recent TOOLBAR problems... does this sound familiar? "the tool bar just blanks-out when I make new post--I can't bold the text, among other problems" - user-2 "pale grey non-functioning text toolbar" - user-1 other users including myself have NOT had this...

OK, thanks. I DISCOVERED WHERE THIS BUG (UNRELATED TO XENFORO FORUMS) CAME FROM.... JUST IN CASE YOU CAME TO THIS THREAD BECAUSE OF A SIMILAR NOT-XENFORO BUG HAD SIMILAR SYMPTOMS. EXPRESS VPNUNRELATED BUG WAS DO TO MY USING SOFTWARE EXPRESS VPN EXPRESS VPN CHANGED SOMETHING and if you...

THANKS, YOU WERE RIGHT. THERE IS NO BUG WITH XENFORO SOFTWARE. THE BUG has to do with some of my internet BROWSERS. BRAVE, CROME, etc. overlaying some sort of 'helper' app that deals with log in user-ids... I was able to log into my XENFORO FORUM USING A DIFFERENT BROWSER - "VIVALDI" Sorry I...

Hmmmm... thanks very much for your suggestions and analysis. I will try to figure it out and maybe try logging in with different browsers, etc.

I do not understand "broken extension" is there something I can do to fix it or who do I report it to besides XENFORO - my internet host? I thing I just noticed a similar bug reported recentlly at https://xenforo.com/community/threads/experiencing-forum-issues-this-morning.213895/ XF 2.2...

Just this morning I can not longer log in as member to my public forum I get this NEW BOX appearing superimposed on the log-in user name box When I try to log into the "Your name or email address" box this little warning message pops up - hiding that entry box - says "Click the extension icon...
