I tried upgrading the forum to the latest SMF version, but I had a lot of problems with it. Its not not acting right . . .

If you notice any weird bugs, please report them here!

Also, as of at the moment, new youtube links aren't working

I actually do have a bug with this forum only. Just have a look at this :

you notice the blue question marks ? I only get them on this forum, and it's quite annoying to have to look at the url-link to know if i'll post a new reply at the topic or mark all new posts as read.

Btw, using Safari on MacOs10.5

[Admin]

Ok I reported the bug:

If you notice anything odd or something that isn't working properly, report it here.

No longer says how many people are in Chat in the User Info toolbar.

airman00,
if you look at the attached picture the red box has the number of people in the chatroom currently... (only me)
you are right that it is no longer at the bottom though.

[Admin]

To stay ahead of the hackers (or at least try to), I just upgraded the forum again today.

You guys know the drill: report anything I broke in the process here.

ps - hackers suck

[Admin]

I just upgraded the forum to the latest version.

Everything appears to be working the same as before, but if anything weird comes up, let me know.

I just installed a honey pot as yet another defense against the spammers . . . let me know if it causes any weird problems for you.

Only 6 days, and it already says "Spammers stopped by MOD httpBL: 2025".

Unfortunate that ~5 still got in within that time . . .

Just visited with my android phone. Had to get past some math questions, and it took two tries.

Is that what you installed?

Yea. It basically keeps track of IPs that have done things only a spam bot would do within the last X days. I set it to like ~40 days.

I checked the logs, and saw that you used two different IPs that had both done something 'bad' two weeks ago. I also determined two other users to be definitely infected with something . . .

Something bad? My at home ISP rotates address every few days. In fact I can force a new IP by restarting my modem.  My cell phone is what got me the math quiz. From what i understand, the IP of a cell phone rotates quite often, and because of this spammers use cell networks for no good.

There was a news article on how wikipedia wants to ban the whole Verizon network form making edits because of this.

Man had to answer another 4 math questions from my cell phone. Hope this works for how annoying it is.

Arg . . . I've been looking at the logs and found several major bugs in the HoneyPot code . . . it triggers when it shouldn't be.

I also saw that it triggered two more times for you, one of the IP addresses was a spammer two days ago, and another 3 days ago. I think this phone IP address thing is really messing up the HoneyPot . . .

Four more spammers got passed it today, so it's not even doing it's job properly

[madsci1016]

Anyway you can code it to check IP address and user account? Then if the user has say >50 posts, it would never trigger the honeypot?

[rbtying]

Honeypot triggers from my school network - maybe make established institutions' IPs on a whitelist? 

[Admin]

Unfortunately I have no control over the HoneyPot. It only causes you 'problems' if you use an IP address that was used to relay spam.

I'll give it a few more weeks, and if it causes much more problems than it solves, I'll disable it.

I figured out how to do this . . . the most active users will never be annoyed by it again

[voyager2]

How many post a day would "active" be?
Not that I've had any problems or anything, just curious...

Actually, now I can't log into chat!

[Admin]

You need at least 3 robots next to your name.

hmmmm working for me!
