robot.txt only works on bots. doesnt affect spammers at all.

If your free host doesnt have mysql then no you wont be able to use it. Or anyother application that uses a mysql database. Also try this link for hosting. http://www.mysitespace.com/aff.asp?ID=ravenpro&L=2

it needs to be Http://yoursite.com/guestbook/install.php you dont have to put directory in there.

Yes it is the way they are hacking. If you have GB 2.2 I can change anyfile in it from your admin section.

Backup your database and files and transfer them over.

First you have to save it on your webserver. Do a search here there is a link to the GB 2.3.1 tutorial.

You will have to either remember it or reset it. Do a search there is a topic here about reseting your password.

So waht you are saying is just double password and login protect it. Correct??? Also does your patch work on version 2.2???

Opps Iam sorry lol. I just dont feel the need to change.Ill will get those off to you. Ok I emailed it to your email addy on your homepage. Hope that is correct. And on top of the first excuse. I cant even get anyone to sign my wifes guestbook let alone spam it up.

Please do. Those of us who are happy with 2.2 would love it.

I really dont want to upgrade to 2.3.1 What I have now is fine.

Ok is that where you put the script on the addentry.php page?? And will it work for GB version 2.2
Well I must be doing it wrong or it doesnt work with 2.2

You can download Advanced poll and Guestbook tutorials from this link below. Can a mod or admin please sticky this. So it stays at the top.
