The problem is with the Field List Tab...
the instructions say to put the field name in quotes....but the slash gets added recursively for some reason ----
I saw these in my debug email text....
so I have deleted the whole field -- it was a text file full of slashes....100 megs worth!!!
What the heck?
Hi Jim,
Wow, never seen that before.
I'm not sure what the 'Field List' tab is? Is it the one titled 'Elements titles'?? If so then no quotes are required.

NOt sure what the title is --- but I think you are right...I willl look...
BUT there is definitely three or four forum threads talking about how the quotes actually solved the issue for some folks....
so I put them there and it worked at first...but I guess each save an extra set of slashes get inserted by mysql to escape out the quotes?
anyway -- seems to be fixed now.
Hi Jim,
Yes, each time there's a save MySQL adds an extra slash to each existing slash so you get exponential growth. We've seen it before when saving form data to the database - it seems to be linked to Magic Quotes settings - but I've never seen it on saving a form.

One other thing I have noticed immediately is ---
Since starting this yesterday -- I have put a hidden page on my joomla site that intend to use as a landing page for a mail out -- and the form will register them with my site too....
Well --- since yesterday I have had 20 new members sign up using a
.ru email account --- I have since added the anti-spam so we'll see ... but this REALLY scares me ---
I know it's this form because of the email settings etc....this form is not reachable from my navigation system at all!
Hi Jim,
So what's the url they are using? Do you have SEO on? There's no particular reason why a new ChronoForms page would suddenly attract spammers.
