as you can see, double post prevention breaks with the latest version of VB, so it will take some time to get that back. Even ajax features seem to be working fine now, let me know if there are any more problems.

MHG: you should (a) see the quick reply now, and (b) not have recaptcha.

Regular users won't be able to see the Quick Reply box right now, because you need to verify your "humanness" to reply to a post. Give us a few days to weed out any spammers that are still registered, and verify that spam registrations are indeed going down, and we'll see about getting that up again.

OK, now what about that plugin to stop posters with less than 10 post count from posting links, images and new threads ? :grin:

PS: shall I move this thread and the suggestions thread to feedback section ? And the pc workshop review thread to carnival section ?

FatBeing, i can see quick reply and post without captcha too.. But its not working as it's supposed to.. When you click post, it refreshes the page, which it should not!

ejjaktly.

And view forum member list option is also disabled. So is "who is online" list. In front page.

One thing at a time please :)

Now that we should have less spam to worry about, we can focus our attention on getting the AJAX working properly. As long as nothing's horribly broken, please live with it for now.

^^LessSpamHow ? Most spammmers are not bots but HUMANS.

How about that image/link/thread block plugin for postcount < 10 ???

Why on earth am I getting an Image Verification check before posting a new message? :-|

EDIT: Never mind. Don't bother.

Done, and didn't need a plugin.

Let me know if something goes awry.
Post count limit is how much ? Anorion wanted 5 but I suggested 10.

BTW, the issue of switching to plain text edit in reply causing all typed text to disappear has not been fixed yet.

It's 10, but let's see...

And like I said, one thing at a time.

well, I'm ready to pass any kinda verification that u admins add, if that helps blocking SPAMs.

@ all, guys, something is going on track now. Please co-operate. We can start nagging when things are settled after a few days.

And, thank you Admins....:smile:

Do I have to post some more posts to get the QuickReply?

thank you admins :)

I know fatbeing said he'll take care of things "one at a time" but it would really help if we could have a quick reply thing in place. I don't mind the captcha but please give us a quick reply as well.. replying without the quick reply is a real PITA.

and since you say you've disabled links/images/whatever to users with post count < 10, i guess it is safe to put back the quick reply in its rightful place.

This is a lot better. There used to be soo many spammers or bots and they just clog up the forums

Thank you so much for all this, the Captcha works, but I don't get the words properly... they are too hard to read...(although my eye sight is fine.. :D)
And one more thing, why the CAPTCHA is for older embers... I think it should be made for new joined members

Can you remove the Social Groups... since no one uses them and most of the members only made them for nothing... and the Album feature is also worthless....

I disagree. Social Groups are unmoderated. :p

Pictures & Albums is also a very good feature. But it didn't use to work. :|

I still cannot get quick reply box. I think quick reply is only enabled for admins and mods.

Please enable quick reply for members also.


Current setting:
Number of posts per page is 30. Make it ~20 to reduce server load. This will also make forum to load faster.
