Possible Sudden Message Board Shutdown today

[BobD (Archive)]

Hi Gang,
We're hoping to get me the admin abilities I need to be able to ban by ip address and e-mail extension. It may mean shutting the board down for a few hours today.

As a part of this change, we're going to shut off comments for the blogs; that's a sneaky way spammers have been getting in.

Best Regards,
Bob Duncan

Don't know how long I can go without my "forum fix" Bob, but I'll be strong.

Thanks for taking care of things.

Thanks for the update Bob. Good luck with the programing fix. Just remember...to err is human, to really foul up requires a computer.

Good for you! What about the blogs? Hmmmm?

We've turned off the comments in blogs. Did you actually have people posting spam as blogs, or just as comments?

Both.......I've had a few do a spam post as a visitor comment as well. These I have not been able to find by searching. I just stumble across them sometimes weeks after the fact.
