You've got no idea!



Thank you, Harry, that means a lot to me. I remember how much we discussed the spam problem and the should we/shouldn't we move to a new system and all the backups of...

I think it's fixed.

If anyone has got this redirect since yesterday please drop me a PM or email (webmaster@). Thanks.

Denver Dave, it appears there may be a problem at our end. It's tricky to sort out but I'll get on it as soon as I can. Thanks for letting us know.

There have been some other vbulletin based forums that have had this problem. It's not impossible for it to happen at the server level as well as at the Google level so it's always worth checking...

Thanks for your feedback. I'll do some more digging into this to see if there's a security issue anywhere that needs to be fixed.

I don't seem to see any problem, Dave.

This is a known issue when a site's htaccess file has been compromised. Ours seems fine. It is also caused when the user's PC has been compromised. A Google...

utu is right. One of the automated qualifications to getting attachment privileges is account age of at least 48 hours (and a post count of 5). Your account is almost two days old and would have...

The above covers individual attachments. There is also an upper ceiling / limit to the total storage space allowed each user.

For regular users of this site the total allowance for attachments...

Hmmm, I'll look into that, utu, and see if I can solve it.

Based on a suggestion from utu, I have added support for .gz files. You can now attach .gz files to posts.

The maximum size allowed is 250K as I felt it would cover most situations, but please...

There has been a spate of increased spam recently. If you haven't seen it, it's because the mods are doing such a brilliant job. A big thanks to them.

Today I put several new measures in place to...

klausius, from running various forums I've realised there are two types of members.

The "good" members registering on this site register to ask questions about Knoppix, to answer questions about...

Thanks for the feedback. I've gone and looked around and it seems that I needed to change a couple of other settings (in addition to global settings, the setting for each file extension needs to be...

I used the Go Advanced button when typing up my post and then the attachment option offered on that screen. Please let me know if you still have a problem.

test post with image

As the title says, and based on a request from utu, this forum now allows uploading images of up to 250K. Please don't make them too wide or they'll inconvenience other readers. Try and get each...

I apologise that there was some downtime time today. There was a security issue on this site and I had to take it down because of a link to a malicious script (that Google and Firefox wrongly...

Hmm. The first link in that page works. And ones further down like this do work. But you are correct, all the ones that have viewtopic in the URL don't work. Let me investigate and get back and try...

Many apologies for the recent inconveniences. The site should be working properly now and members should be able to log in.

It there are any problems PLEASE drop me a PM or email webmaster - at -...

The welcome email does say that new user posts are pre-moderated. But maybe it wasn't clear enough. I've just changed the wording to explain that every new user post is held privately till a...

Hi, I just sent you a PM about this.

Unfortunately, due to masses of spam we now pre-moderate all new user posts and these don't get made public till a mod gets a chance to look at them and...

The short answer is no.

The pre-moderation isn't to teach you how to post, it's to combat spam. 99% of new registrants are here to spam these boards and drop links to their sites. Maybe more than...

Klaus Knopper hat mich gebeten, diese Umfrage zu starten. Ich würde mich

Klaus Knopper has requested I post this poll. I would be grateful if you assisted by taking the poll and choosing ONE of the above. Please provide feedback by posting below.

From Klaus:

Posts by new members don't go public immediately. They are all held up for moderation, the spam is deleted and the rest makes it for publication.

Once members reach a certain post count,...
