Is This a new record??

Hi Is this a new record. The way I see it the old record was 35. New record 57???

 

[allheart55 (Cindy E)]

No, unfortunately. The old record is still the same, 35 members.

The total of 57 is 3 members, 43 guests and 11 robots.

Darn it! OK! There are a lot of people reading your last post about Lenovo.
PS We'll beat that 35 one of these days!!

Hi! Have a question!! When I go on Members ,Current Visitors drop down; I have seen a bunch of guess registering, but I never see them becoming a member.
I'm wondering if there is a problem registering. I saw at least 6 guest registering one night, but none of them became members. That seems very strange to me. Surely one of them completed the register to become a member.

There have only been three new members sense myself. That can't be right. I have seen at least 20 guest showing they were registering!

I think you may have seen Bots trying to register. They can't get past the captcha.

Bob would know better, I may not know what I'm talking about!

 

[donetao]

Nope! Not bots. They were guest!! That captcha can be a real pain in the arse some times. It's strange that we only have three new members and two of them are my friends from another forum. I'll get a screen shot the next time I see a bunch of guests in the register section!

Those are people trying to register with a program like xRumer. I have that and others like it blocked at the server level. Since they try to go directly to the register form it looks like they are registering when in reality they got kicked from the site.

 

[allheart55 (Cindy E)]

That makes sense. I had a feeling I didn't know what I was talking about.

OK Thanks @AWS That explains it. What is xRumer?? I'll Google it! OK I see what it is!!
