    Have you tried this one by Adrian? It works like a charm on my board.

    The article I posted includes recommending this hack, but a few others too for more complete protection.

    I receive a lot of spam via my vbulletin "Contact Us" form. Any way to prevent it?

    Thanks a lot for the links! I will test them out on my forum and see if they actually work.
    (I had a lot of spam too, and I really got tired of it)
