I ask a question at user registration. I ask people to spell a word backward. It's worked for a long time.

Usually Ultimate Points.

Those always help until someone gets a spam bot that learns how to beat the system lol.

I always add the 'Forms' add on. I love them 😀

Does it still work with the latest version of phpBB?

Yes, it works. The extension is designed to work with 3.2 and 3.3 versions.

I attempted to install it and it crashed my test board.

I attempted to install it and it crashed my test board.

Unfortunately it's been abandoned, likewise with another points system I found on the support forums. I'm not sure if anyone else is working on a points system.

It's sad for sure.

 

[Lord Saru]

The forms add on is the first one I usually install

I would also love to integrate the point system on my forum too but I don't think it's available on PHPBB extension database.

Yeah the two that were posted on the support forums sadly have been abandoned and I don't think they'd work in the latest version. You could try installing them, but I wouldn't do it on your main forum. I would try it on a test forum.

I'm looking for an extension that could display ratings on my forum. I don't seem to find one on phpbb customisation database.
