- Updated forum to the latest version for current skin.
- Added a new anti-spam feature that uses flash to assemble puzzle images, this will stop 99% of the bots from registering / posting.
God speed!

A simple captcha word box would have sufficed. I just pm'd a member of the forums, and it made me put a picture of a paint pallet together. Not as fun as you think.
But overall, thanks Emi!

We had the CAPTCHA word on highest setting, and the bots know how to assemble it still, they got a lot smarter. But this new method will stop almost all the bots.
You're just doing a little puzzle at the registration page, nothing wrong with that.

That you have to some puzzle when you register... fine.
But seriously can we remove it when sending a PM?
I'll message you back when its removed... I ain't gonna construct a kitty picture

Weird, the setting is set so only if post count is below 5 that you have to enter a code when sending PMs...
Must be a bug in the forum code, I'll check it out, thank you.

Maybe 1 in 100 can do it (maybe with human assistance), but we just ban those and this will reduce spam drastically. Now just have to fix the PM bug. It's shouldn't show the code in there if you got more then 5 posts... |

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villian by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished...
