Found a loophole Glenn (actually spammers on our site found a loophole)

I found the issue. There are no PHP hooks when posting a comment. This is a bug on vB. I will create a bug ticket to them. I will create a temporary workaround while waiting for the official fix but it will require manually editing an existing PHP file. This means this needs to be re-applied after every vB upgrade. This is unavoidable since vB forgot to add the PHP hooks to the comments.

This is one of those ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ moments.

Maybe vB is not invoking the PHP hook in comments.

I'll take a look.

Thanks for confirming the fix works on your site.

I was just emailed the new version 1.2, installed, tested, FIXED.

Great and super speedy work Glenn, thanks!

[glennrocksvb]

I have released v1.2 and updated first post. All the purchasers of this mod were emailed containing the download link to the new version. Thanks to ayjayef for reporting this issue. This was a good catch.

That works on this site. Spamtester posted a link in reply to this post and it's in the moderation queue. ayjayef didn't get email notification of a new post.
I think you've fixed the quirk.

Awesome! I will release the fix shortly.

ayjayef, I have deployed the fix here on this site. Can you test using your other account?

[glennrocksvb]

If you want ayjayef I can send you the updated file that is part of the mod to quickly test the solution on your site. What do you think?

[glennrocksvb]

I think I found a solution that doesn't require a new PHP hook or editing existing PHP code. I just need to test it thoroughly.
