Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted July 4, 201014 yr The index.php?app=forums&module=extras§ion=forward&url=TOPICURL Page (Share this link via Email) need a Captcha! At the moment the form abused by Spambots to send Spam from the forum. Hope IPS will fix it ASAP (highly recommended at 3.1.2). :ph34r: Here a Screenshot of a Spammail (see the message between the failure notice message):
July 4, 201014 yr Author There are no option to disable it per member group. I have temporarily disabled the "Share this link via E-Mail" Service.
July 4, 201014 yr I think that there should be a permissions system and a CAPTCHA option for the "Share this link via Email" feature. Hopefully, these things can be implemented in IP.Board 3.1.2.
July 4, 201014 yr [img] [/img] System > Share Links > Email > [img] [/img] > Edit Enabled > No :thumbsup: I don't have this in my ACP, but there is a link at the bottom of each topic to share via email.
July 6, 201014 yr Management I'll add a captcha to the page and add the ability to turn it off for guests.
July 6, 201014 yr I'll add a captcha to the page and add the ability to turn it off for guests. Thank you. :happy:
July 7, 201014 yr System > Share Links > Email > > Edit Enabled > No :thumbsup: Just a heads up, I think might still be able to send emails if you know the URL to the refer page.
July 7, 201014 yr Given the immediate abuse potential (which can get a site's emails blacklisted hurting valid registration emails) can we get a patch for this? Also if the facebook login css/skin (overflow with custom fields) error has been fixed can that be added too? :)
July 7, 201014 yr We are focusing heavily on getting 3.1.2 wrapped up and ready for release. That means we don't exactly have enough time write not to be releasing piece-meal patches (and I suspect this patch isn't just a couple of lines of code in one file either), but instead are trying to get the entire release ready for everyone as soon as possible. :)
July 8, 201014 yr :). Hoping that this comes soon. I think 3.1.2 will tighten up the boat quite a bit.
July 9, 201014 yr Author I'll add a captcha to the page and add the ability to turn it off for guests. I have added a captcha for this for 3.1.2 Maybe im wrong, but i think we need the ability to turn off the captcha for members (not only for guests).
March 3, 201113 yr Was this change made and distributed? Because I still have the issue. I'd rather have a choice of captcha and questions -- and certainly I'd like to shut it off for guests and other groups (e.g. banned). I've had this actively exploited.

If it's a problem for you, just disable it. I'd like to know how many people actually use that button anyway. If I want to share a thread with a friend, a "real" email telling them about it is a lot more personal than some forum-generated "Look at this!" message.
