MyBB 1.8.7 and API Key

Does the 1.8.7 version pick on the API key automatically?

I saw the API Key field (that's what sent me down the road to getting one for this amazing service) and now after getting the API key set up I can't find the field in which I am supposed to enter it?

All the settings are available under Configuration>Settings> Stop Forum Spam but a field to enter the API isn't one of them?

Hi CombativeEdge, welcome to SFS.

An API key is required to post spam reports. It is NOT required to search for spam reports.

Thats strange...I thought I remembered there being a place to enter the API key into the settings of MyBB forum..

Weird!

Thanks!

Found it. THere is a place to paste it in in 1.8.7

Configuration>Settings>Purge Spammer

When the Purge is done the report is made automatically.
