Thanks to Pete Mall and r-a-y! I have just upgrade my three wpmu + bp sites to 3.0 painlessly. Just want to remind other guys, the Rewrite Rule must be done otherwise the Avatars will not display correctly!
Well! “SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam” not really works. Spammers registration keep coming. The number of a day has been reduced but still can’t stop them. I assume the spammer bots may smart enough to OCR the words in CAPTCHA or could listen to the audio assist then they could generate a correct input to pass the registration. So I set CAPTCHA to “high” level and uncheck the audio option. The last 24 hours I got 10 spam registers. I wonder if a plug-in can spell check the field input may help eliminate most of these spammers.
Yeah! I believe they are spam accounts. They are keep coming from all over the world. I have just install plugin “SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam” on all three wpmu web sites. It should stops the spam bots if you are not “human”….lol. Thanks all you guys!
Very confuse now! I got three more members sign in last 15 minutes. They came from SPAIN with same IP address, also strange input in home town and interest fields. I just go over the member list, these strangers are not just from TEXAS, they came from FLORIDA, NETHERLANDS, GEORGIA, SLOVAKIA, NIGERIA and CANADA.
good point gibbyesl. Those input likely generated by computer as they are upper case and lower case combination, if it is done by human it should look something like this “dfgasuiagew”. I got 15 members registration yesterday on my new site. They all came from one Texas ISP with different IP addresses. I don’t know whether I should block this Texas server IP.
r-a-y maybe you are right. I created some dummy accounts and input all the fields in profile page. Then I log out and check every account, they are showing correctly. Is it any encoding issue you think? Although I am sure wordpress mu and buddypress are utf-8 standard.
