Bob, what URL are you linking to in the widget?

Hi, Just used your icon widget and it appears. However, I get the following message popup when I click on it, “Apologies, but we were unable to find what you were looking for. Perhaps searching will help.” I must have something broken somewhere but don’t know where. I set up my feed on the Feedburner site. Can you help?

B. Chamberlain, I've just updated the plugin to allow links to be opened in a new window. You should see the update in your dashboard, but if you don't you can download the update here. Thanks for the great idea!

I like your plugin very much! Would it be possible to add the option to open in a new tab or windows?

I had tons of spam registrations coming in to my ByddyPress. At worst it made me consider shutting it down and/or swap to other platform.

Using captchas, questions, hidden fields etc I made it to all time low to some 10-15 that made it through for manual cleaning. But even so. This caused me to once a week manually having to clean out activity, groups and accounts — besides having to understand that during this week my site had all kind of weirdo url-black-hat-seo:s going on risking google to consider the site to be a url-farm.

The one and only turn key solution that fixed it permanently and down to a zero-spam-registration was installing the plug in Wanguard and then enabling a security question.

Now I can see in the configuration that it kills 100 % of the spam registrations, it is a blessing and it is awesome to see that Wanguard is such a success.

Lori, we're glad you like the plugin! I looked through your source code on your site and noticed that you actually have two calls to a favicon. One is coming from the favicon generator and another is coming from your theme. The one from your theme is a missing image, and can be viewed here. You will need to remove that line of code from your theme in order for the favicon generator to work.

Gregory, are you seeing all of your signups coming from a specific domain, or a common domain extension? If so, you could add some code to our plugin that would catch those domain names too.

I did not go that way Brandon. I see some days after that spam users did not stop registering. It almosts seems to be impossible to stop this from happening and Im even more impressed how the buddypress community hasnt done something about it.

Im using your plugin, SI captcha, AVH First Defense Against Spam and even directing traffic throug Cloudflare. No results …. spammers registering everyday.

Do you maybe have any suggestions what else could have been tried?
