I have Advance GuestBook 2.3.1 and followed the first set of instructions exact. I only changed the word Armadillo where applied, to my own word. It now works great and I have had no problems or errors whether I leave it blank, type it in wrong, or type it in correctly. I was having problems with spamming, and now I do not. Thank you!!

OK... Don't freak out and get mad at me. I read the whole thread. All 11 pages. I have advanced guestbook 2.3.4 and am reciving a heap of spam. i want to install the human varification but can not find the code needed to be changed. are there different instuctions for this version?
Thanks,

No the instructions for 2.3.2 should also apply to 2.3.4

I have installed the Human Verification code to my Advanced Guestbook 2.3.4 and it seems to work except for the fact that you can use any word in the verification field and the message will go through without going to the error message. What did I screw up this time???
Thanks for the help!

Why are these people spamming all of our guestbook’s? How do they find our guest books? I have tried to search for mine using Google but can't. Is there a word that is being registered with search bots that is making it easy to find our guestbook’s?

They search Google for something like "Powered by advanced guestbook"

OK due to the amount of people appearing to have problems with these simple instructions I have added this to the required 2.3.4 files and uploaded them to http://carbonize.co.uk/AG/

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! It took a while to get it all working but no spam for a week!

I was very tired of recieving TONS of spam. deleting it, and tracking down IP addresses to block them.

I feel much better now

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSEIF in /home/bikeroo/public_html/guestbook/lib/add.class.php on line 201

please help, as i seemed to have messed things up somehow.
i can send the files over if needed.

This is why I modded some files already and made them available to download www.carbonize.co.uk/AG

a million thanks for the help
everything works fine now.

Carbon,
thanks for your work!

I modified all the files, including lang/italian.php because my gb is in italian.

But my addentry screen displays no comment box to type in.

Could you help, Please?

Sure I've mistyped something...

Thanx.

The gb address is http://www.josephk.it/Guestbook/index.php

1 - upgrade to 2.3.4 by replacing all the files except admin/config.inc.php
2 - Goto www.carbonize.co.uk/AG where I have pre modded files.
