User registration does not reference nuke_bbdisallow table

I'm running phpnuke 7.6.3.5b and I've been downloading, editting and importing the phpBB tables from stopforumspam.com and discovered today that it's all been for nothing - registration via the phpnuke registration does not check those tables.

Is there a way to implement this without using the phpBB registration?

Just turn the forum registration configuration setting to None and use the nuke registration function.

I've got account activation set to None in phpBB admin, and am using the nuke registration. The problem is that it allows usernames in the nuke_bbdisallow table to register.

How can I get nuke registration to disallow usernames, shy of using Sentinel string blocker?

With something like 19,000 usernames, Sentinel it is then... Confused

Thanks!

19,000 names seems a bit over the top, wouldn't you say? If that is really the case then I would use Your_Account/index.php and rewrite the routine to load them into a separate table and then do an indexed lookup

Yes it is. I think I'll try to implement the API at http://www.stopforumspam.com/apis.

Thanks again!
