    Where do I get the service key for the Askimet Anti-Spam feature? And does it cost money?

    Free and you need to write it down on a notepad, incase you delete file from your computer.

    It is not the best feature, as you do not need to type in correctly to be accepted. I like the 'Image Verification' still..

        Actually, for Akismet, you need to get the key here: http://akismet.com

        They have free keys there for personal use.

              Not anymore. It started in the Blog I think, but as of 3.7, it's default in vBulletin.

              EDIT: Specifically:

              Admin CP > vBulletin Options > Spam Mangement

                Still blind on where this option is located..

                Just found it on the very last link on vBulletin option drop down... I have not even notice that it was added. Doh!

                    Thanks, I think they should place heading like they have it with editing templates. I do not like how it is grouped under just one heading 'Show All Settings'
