    Noticing some crashing once again. Vbulletin 5.7.5 is EOL (still has Security updates). I did just purchase the VB6 upgrade license and will attempt to get us up to the latest version.

            Mine's been solid. Occasionally takes a bit to post a reply, but it's not every reply now.

                Thanks James,

                If you'd like to also try and curb the spammers is there a way to send me new member requests so I can vet them? I will happily ask newbies to explain the difference between waffles & waffles to me to determine if they are a bot or not

                                Let's get to Vbulletin 6.1.4 and we can dig into spam mitigation and what makes sense. All doable.

                                    Maybe the errors were enough to keep the spamers away?

                                    Break it again!

                                                            Yes, this update looks good. It appears either I lost the ability to BAN, or dont know how ... so all of todays spammers are free to keep spamming at this point
