Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Spam problems

[Alan H. <al...@em...>]

I'm seeing similar problems on my wiki

http://www.alanhoyle.com/wiki/index.php/RecentChanges

Things went away for a while when I required authentication for edits.

I upgraded to 1.3.12p2 yesterday, and started allowing anon edits, but
when I checked this morning, I had been spammed overnight.

Captcha doesn't work as it just puts up a blank image.

I've tried disabling the $wiki_dmap ['putPage'] just now to see if
that makes a difference.

Also, it won't let me stay authenticated.
