Upgrade to Xenforo 1.5 or later (captcha apparently broken now) #46

Closed Cervator closed 6 years ago

Cervator commented 8 years ago

Our last upgrade was to 1.3.2 back in I think May 2014 or so. Right now seemingly user registration with a CAPTCHA active fails, tried both the Google ReCaptcha (which is a v1 now deprecated with a better v2 available - but what part of XR would update that?) and the plain old question-answer CAPTCHA as well. Either one causes a 504 Gateway Time-out on user registration with it active. Tried rebooting the web server entirely. Could be something else but disabling CAPTCHAs seem to fix it so I've done that for now but that could well lead to more spam bots so we urgently need a fix.

It may be possible to upgrade whatever anti-spam addons we use instead, but considering we're two releases behind it may be tricky getting newer addons to work.

This got done, or rather an upgrade to v2 happened. Still some anti-spam effort needed but that's an eternal battle.
