View Full Version : Forum updated to latest version! Jon 02-12-2007, 08:34 AM I have updated this forum to the latest version. Hopefully this will cut down on the amount of spam it gets. Ron_dK 02-16-2007, 05:39 AM Jon, I noted that when not logged in one needs to enter an image verification before search is active. Why is that, what does it do. Jon 02-16-2007, 07:00 AM I've no idea what that is for, but the software developers have obviously put it there for a reason. Maybe a spam prevention thing. boblarson 02-19-2007, 10:12 PM Also, Jon - It might be good to have at least a couple more moderators added to help with the maintenance. I sent SJ an email volunteering but haven't heard anything since he said he'd try to contact you. I've been here on the site since about 1997 or 1998 (I even remember the software change that happened back in about 2001 as that's why it says I've been a member since then). Rich 03-19-2007, 01:04 AM Far from cutting down on spam, the new version seems to encourage it ColinEssex 03-19-2007, 01:18 AM I thought it was Kens job (as a moderator) to delete all these stupid adverts for phones etc. Typical Yanks, give them a job and they can't manage it:rolleyes: Col Mile-O 03-19-2007, 04:04 AM I'm thinking of changing the forum marked General to something else as it's obvious that a number of bots go in search of that term. Any ideas, in order to test my theory? boblarson 03-19-2007, 04:07 AM How about "Other" or "Non-specified" or "Generic" Ron_dK 03-19-2007, 04:19 AM Or "Universal" or "All about databases" ? Looking a the number of rubbish (mobiles and stuff, not the treads ) in the watercooler, you might even consider changing the name of that section as well. Mile-O 03-19-2007, 04:33 AM I've made a longer post, with poll, here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=125140). Rich 03-20-2007, 12:12 AM I thought it was Kens job (as a moderator) to delete all these stupid adverts for phones etc. Col Didn't he take early retirement due to stress?:confused: Mile-O 03-20-2007, 01:11 AM You two sure are stress inducing. Ron_dK 03-20-2007, 05:52 AM Stewart, I just noted that you're now Administrator. Congratulations. Does that mean that you can change the forum in all aspects or you still have limited rights ? boblarson 03-20-2007, 06:04 AM rak - He's been an administrator for quite some time now. Mile-O 03-20-2007, 06:08 AM Does that mean that you can change the forum in all aspects or you still have limited rights ? I can change so much but I'm supposed to consult Jon before making any major decisions. I don't think my putting the ASP and PHP forums as subsections of the Web Design forum is major. And I don't think renaming the General forum is major either. (Or my merging of the PDA and Phones forums to Gadgets.) I can add/edit/remove/move forums, set members' permissions, and do what I want with all your posts. I can't, however, add upgrades or plugins, as these require files to be uploaded to the site's server, which I don't have access to. Ron_dK 03-20-2007, 06:10 AM Bob, I didn't notice up till now, but that's a good thing. Any change that you might be pulled in as a moderator, appearantly Ken and Pat are less around these days. Mile-O 03-20-2007, 06:33 AM Any change that you might be pulled in as a moderator, appearantly Ken and Pat are less around these days. Lol. I made bob a mod yesterday. ;) MrsGorilla 03-20-2007, 12:29 PM Lol. I made bob a mod yesterday. ;) :) That's who I was going to suggest, seeing as he seems to be around more consistently than anyone else these days... boblarson 03-20-2007, 12:50 PM Bob, I didn't notice up till now, but that's a good thing. Any change that you might be pulled in as a moderator, appearantly Ken and Pat are less around these days. :) That's who I was going to suggest, seeing as he seems to be around more consistently than anyone else these days... Thanks, I appreciate the vote of confidence. pbaldy 03-20-2007, 01:17 PM And for the record, I've already noticed a couple of spam posts that were gone within minutes. Good work Bob! Rich 03-21-2007, 12:52 AM Where have all these "Guests" suddenly appeared from? Ron_dK 03-21-2007, 08:52 AM Where have all these "Guests" suddenly appeared from? Gratefully invited ? Rich 03-21-2007, 10:46 AM Gratefully invited ? No, I think they're just gate crashers;) KalelGmoon 03-21-2007, 12:23 PM No, I think they're just gate crashers;) nope they all had invotes from Rich, yep yep I checked em all and it said invited by Rich:p Rich 03-21-2007, 01:10 PM nope they all had invotes from Rich, yep yep I checked em all and it said invited by Rich:p What's an invote?:confused: :p RuralGuy 03-21-2007, 01:14 PM Rich, That is the opposite of an invite out which as everyone knows is an OutVote. :p Ron_dK 03-21-2007, 11:01 PM No, I think they're just gate crashers;) Only when they're guided. Now who would guide them in this forum ? :confused: ;) https://www.stylentile.com/images/Gate%20Crashers%20-%20CT3-8.jpg |
