We have over 500 new registrations with dummy account info.     Time for me to figure out a better way to filter out the spammers....  I don't feel like looking at over 500 profiles to verify them before I "validate" them.

Is there something we can do to help?

[alpierce]

I'm willing to help and do work in I.T. (although I admittedly don't handle message boards much).

Thank you for the offers!!  I gave up trying to figure it out myself and put in a ticket request to the software people that make this board instead.  Part of the "give us money!" request funds that we collect go towards a membership support license.

Couldn't they use one of those Captcha-type authentication methods to defeat bots?

[princess]

Exactly, I just didn't know how to install it - but guess what we got done this morning!

 

If you've registered but have not been activated, please re-register now.  I deleted all the pending accounts (almost 700 of them now!) so you can re-register with your original email address.

Two days and not one dummy registration!

Dang, upgrade made some of the standard smilie faces default back to the board-issued ones.  I'll fix that soon, if that's the only upgrade glitch I'll be happy!

And did ya notice I snuck an upgrade in last weekend and no one noticed issues?    I think that's the first for us!!
