Location –> City, State, etc.

TD Replica –> they type(s) of replicas you have

Donor –> What’s it built on.

I was thinking of adding latitude and longitude with a…[Read more]

Good news, at least from the administrative side of the site, it looks like the new registration form is really cutting down on spammers! This will free up more of my available time to work on other site changes.

Thanks also to @rosebud-and-bill for reporting one spammer we missed that got in before the new form was in place. Anyone can report a…[Read more]

The ‘Libray’ menu item now has a dropdown for the sections of the Library page (Manuals, References, and Technical Articles). I’ve also copied over the first two Technical Articles and am working out how to import the remainder and build a system where we can easily add more.

As usual, I’ll update with progress as it goes.

@sabreur76 Excellent addition! Glad to see that you can get things into the Library. Really hoping that we can start to have more similar contributions and spread the maitenance load among us!

Now I’ve got some evening reading 🙂

Yes, it was quick and dirty and I had it done before breakfast.

I also added some fields to the registration form to deter spammers. Based on the short period of time it’s been there it seems to be doing the trick. You can take a look, but you need to be logged out otherwise you don’t see the actual form.

@pmossberg Darn it. I saw that thread but forgot about it in my testing. I’ll take a look this evening and see if I can get them fixed.

I added ‘.ru’ this morning to the list of blocked domains. If I understand it correctly, we should not see these again.

I just installed a new plugin to try and cut down the SPAM accounts. It requires an administrator to approve new registrations rather than letting the registrant do it alone by email.

Please let me know if it causes problems.

I’m looking for a better solution.

ahh.. There are a bunch of links within posts that didn’t get fixed during the migration. I’ve got the beginnings of a a script to fix them, just haven’t had the time. It is on my list though. I’ll let you know when it gets done.
