I'm having the same problem. bbpress 1.0.2, Mass Delete Users (0.0.5). Any idea why I can't comment in the old Plugins Browser section of bbpress.org? I see other people have commented recently. Not just your plugins, but *any*.

Hey _ck_, I just downloaded the latest bb attachments and works great, except I have to put text into posts before adding an image. Is there anyway to just add photos without text in posts? Thanks very much in advance!

If you delete the user they can just register again. I guess what you are saying is to catch them before they register and just let them keep failing.

Fantastic! Thank you so much, _ck_. I've already got a couple of emails confirming that spam users have been blocked. I've sent you a small something as my thanks. Minor requests for a future update: An option to delete the user outright instead of marking it as inactive would be nice, as well as an option to not send out the emails would be great now that I'm confident the plugin is working well, but I've very happy with all of your plugins, so thank you again! - Mark

I haven't published the update yet. Okay I just pushed it to the svn so you should see 0.9.5 soon or just download directly from here: <a href="http://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/human-test/trunk/" rel="nofollow">http://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/human-test/trunk/</a>

That sounds great, _ck_! Is the new stopforumspam code part of human test, or is it another plugin altogether? Is it available for download yet?

Removing fields is not impossible but tricky with the bbpress api. My human-test plugin used to be able to stop most of those but they've gotten very clever at getting past. I recently added code to use the stopforumspam.com api and it now catches about 99% of them. Just like email, spammers are becoming a very serious problem on forums, they must waste huge amounts of cpu time.

I'm guessing you probably don't solicit plugin ideas, but I have a thought anyway, just in case. :) I get dozens and dozens of spam users a day who use spam links as their user homepage URL. Considering that users on my forum typically don't have homepage urls anyway, it would be nice if there were a plugin that would simply remove the homepage field on the user registration form, and then automatically reject any submissions that try to include a homepage URL anyway. I imagine this might actually stop my spam users altogether.

I'm using bbPress 1.0.3 with Chrome, Internet Explorer 9, and Safari I managed to actually solve the problem by using your great stylesheet editor (Thank you for including that!). It turns out that the footer was simply overlapping the button, so adding a bottom margin to the submit button worked.

What version of bbpress are you using and what browser?
