    What version of 68 Classifieds are you running?
    v4.2.2 Developer

    What template are you using?
    SigmaSilver

    Please describe in detail the issue you are having:

    Looks like starting on 8/21/2011 there have been dozens of fake user registrations per day. They are coming from several different IPs and are registering two different street addresses. They are using bad email addresses and causing a lot of bounced emails to the admin.

    How do I stop these new fake registrations?

    Try the recaptcha module offered by 68C for free. If you want something less robust but more delicate (I mean design wise) you can do this type of thing to at least annoy robots

    Yep. adding reCaptcha reduced the dozens I was getting to Zero! Impressive!

    This is a very elegant solution David! I think I will try it on some of my public sites!
