yup:
- 66.199.238.21 =  ibcegi
- 64.237.57.150 =  fpiuly

Is someone, somehow, accessing blogs only from people using pMachine?

Paul,
I would like to test!

>To block that specific email address, all I did is open up member.fns.php >and add a conditional during the data check to see if ‘mail.ru’ was part of >the email address. Who wants to test?

I know that I won’t have users with a mail.ru account.
Could you post a solution, so that I could try it.
It might not be a help for everyone, but for many.

Thanks a lot!
David.

Spammers will simply use a new address.  Shouldn’t the focus be on actually finding a fix to comment spam?

We’re working on getting pMachine Pro 2.4 out as soon as we can, which will have many new features for preventing spam.

Since you’ve used it on your own website, would you mind posting the code?
Thanks

I’m interested in knowing how to delete these guys from my member list. I’ve blocked the IP addresses, but they’re still in the list…

Add me to the list of people having problems with these guys, and add me to the non-technical side list as well.  Hopefully, there will an easy fix at some point, but thanks for the efforts up to now.

David -  Look in members.fns.php for this piece of code in the current pMachine Pro files, I have them around lines 463 and 881.

elseif ($signature == "" OR $signature == '&nbsp;')
    {
        return header("location:$memdir$messagespage$sfx?m=29");
    }


Make that into this:

elseif ($signature == "" OR $signature == '&nbsp;')
    {
        return header("location:$memdir$messagespage$sfx?m=29");
    }
    elseif(stristr($signature, 'mail.ru') !== false)
    {
        return header("location:$memdir$messagespage$sfx?m=29");
    }

janet -  Are you using the current version of the files?  Back at the beginning of the year I added the ability to delete multiple members at the same time using checkboxes.  With that ability you can delete these members even if they have no signature.

Hi Paul,

I can’t seem to find that ability in my control panel.  It says I’m running 2.3, did I miss something?  Thanks.

When was the last time you updated your scripts?  Try downloading them again from the download area and replacing everything in the /pm/ directory except the config.php file.  This includes the language files.

Hello Paul—
I’ve updated my files, but I don’t see anything with checkboxes allowing me to delete users. I followed the advice you gave Glenn, but my control panel looks the same.

I just installed a copy of pMachine Pro 2.3 yesterday and under View All Members and when you do a Member Search, the checkboxes are there.  Are you sure you updated the entirety of the cp directory?

Yes. Most of the files are dated Aug. 17, 2004. There are tons of broken links everywhere (according to GoLive), so presume I can’t just update pm.

I am not a techie. You need to tell me very specifically what to do. Up until now I’ve been able to manage the software perfectly well!

GoLive?  Did you upload the files to your server using it? 

I checked the downloadable files, and it definitely has the code in there.  You should replace every single file in the /pm/ directory except the config.php file.

I can’t seem to get into my control panel at all now. “The requested URL was not found on the server.”
