A few more design tweaks to the Forum

We made a few more minor design tweaks to the forum that you may not have noticed. These tweaks are designed to make the forum more readable and less cluttered. - We removed the ad in the first reply from the blue box. We think this makes it more obvious where the replies to the posts are at a glanc...

Forum Upgrade

The forums have been upgraded to include a responsive design that will be better on mobile. The new template is "flat" but if you prefer the old template you can still view the forums that way by doing the following: 1. Click the arrow next to your username in the top bar. 2. Select User Control Pan...

Forum Signatures Reset

All, Due to a build up of signature spam, we have had to reset all signatures that contained a URL. If your signature did not contain a URL then you should not be affected, but you might want to double check it. We will no longer be able to support bbcode URLs in signatures going forward, and we wil...

Re: Overwhelmed by spam

I know this message is old, but I wanted to let everyone know that we do everything we can to stop spam. These spambots out there eventually figure out ways to get around the forum controls, so please use the "Report Post" link above the forum messages to report instances of spam. We hate it as much...

Spam Update

It appears that we are making progress against the spam bots. We had to take the drastic measure of removing all accounts that had zero posts. That deleted a lot of dormant accounts that the spam bots use, but also deleted a few legitimate accounts. Those people can simply sign up again. So far we h...

We're doing our best to control spam but can sometimes be overwhelmed by the bots. We're currently blocking a ton of IPs, but as you know the spammers always find a way to work around our efforts. It would help us immensely if you would please click the "Report Spam" link on the top right of the pag...

Re: Spam flags

Okay, the new board does not have its own Spam Flag so I just brought the old one back. On each topic page you'll see a "Report Spam" link on the top right, just above the first post.

I hope that helps!

Forums Upgraded

We've upgraded the forums. There may be some small issues so if you notice anything strange, please let us know. There are several options for forum software these days, but considering everything I felt like this one was best for us. It's not flashy, but it's clean and fast. I've made some adjustme...

New Forum Layout

Hi All,

We've implemented a new fixed width layout for the Forums. Although we hated to give up the extra space on higher resolution monitors, it should speed up the loading time of the forums quite a bit (especially for IE users).

Thanks.

Moderated registration to prevent spam

We have decided to moderate the registration process to prevent spam. Some people were signing up manually, but then a bot would post spam messages in bulk. Everyone who is currently registered shouldn't have a problem, but all new registrations will be moderated for awhile. Sorry for the recent spa...

Spam Control

We have implemented more spam controls in order to try to curb some of the spam these forums received. It is now necessary to enter a special VIP code when registering. Finding the code is very simple but will keep the bots out.
