Topic: Some forum updates.

I've added a lot of front-end security on registration, and deleted about one hundred spam users. New users will have to deal with some security questions and a capcha.

The upside is, now that users have been pruned, it looks like we really do have over a hundred community members.

I've also added private messaging via the forum.

Re: Some forum updates.

Am I the only one having an issue with the punbots thing when you post a new message? Specifically with the say "Hello" one...unless Teague decided to be clever, it won't recognize the answer and I have to keep reentering it until it gives me the earth one, and only then will it let me post the message.

I'm not having that problem at all, you should only see a capcha when signing in, not posting messages.

Could you post a screengrab so I can see how and when it pops up for you?

I had that happen to me as well yesterday.  I'll see if I still get it once I post this.  here goes nothin'...

Re: Some forum updates.

unfortunately, I don't have screen grabbing software.  Fuck...  I guess I'm useless at this.  The screen basically says Pun bots stop question:  What planet are you from?  Answer the question and it posts you reply.

interesting, it didn't do it to me that time.  It must only do it if you click "Post Reply"...

Well in that little test it poped up with this when I used the quick reply at the bottom of the page.

Then you type "earth" and it posts the message. The other question I get is "Say "Hello"", so I type Hello, but it doesn't recognize it as the answer (I've also tried hello, Hello, "hello", "Hello" etc etc, no luck), so you have to keep doing that until it gets fed up and gives you the earth one, then it posts your reply.

But when I used the full "Post Reply" page, it just straight up posted the reply, no strings. If this changes I'll let you know.

I also recall experiencing this recently. I don't post often, so I didn't realize it wasn't supposed to happen.

Edit: Posted this with Quick Reply, got no captcha this time.

Maybe some of us are spambots and don't even know it?

Re: Some forum updates.

As I've already mentioned to Teague, I've lost a couple of posts because of Hello thing, both times when posting from my phone. I don't know what exactly happened, but I don't recall even getting the Hello thing, it looking like it processed fine, and only later realizing the post didn't go through.
