Website problem

That is a website problem! This bot's already made 177 posts!

Mystara

I've banned it. I'll delete it in a bit once I've figured out how it managed to circumvent our spam filters.

Thank goodness! I thought the bot attacks on my other forum was terrible, but that was ridiculous! I think bots are getting clever nowadays.

Advertising clothes and accessories all over the Knightmare forum... with "veryvery" in its username?

This bot doesn't happen to speak with a Brummie accent, does it?

I can just picture him asking a certain Technosorcerer for some help in circumventing spam filters...

Ooooh, I didn't think of that

pushes through all the horrible spam

It seems that a powerful form of technosorcery has breached our walls! It's made 512 posts already! Is there no end to this madness?!

There were defintiely a couple of unwanted manifestations on here a few days ago. Hopefully a DISMISS spell and a permanent ban will prevent such reoccurrances from happening in the near future.

If you're not already aware of the problem, I've been getting 'HTTP 500 Internal Server Error' when posting to the forum since last night. It still posts successfully but you may not realise it's done so, and if you click Refresh, you end up posting multiple times.

Mystara

Thanks for the warning. It is being investigated.

Mystara

Okay, this problem should hopefully now be fixed.

HUH?! What the hell's happened to the website?! I thought I was on one of my other forums until I saw all the posts

Must say I like the updated website. Good to see that you can view new posts more easily. Keep up the good work!

Mystara

Thanks. Though actually, the change was mostly as part of an upgrade to try and help destroy the spammers.

Personally, I miss the helmets

Pooka

I too miss the helmets. The new design puts me off a little. But if it was a necessary upgrade, guess I can't reapply complain (too much...).

Is there any way you can get rid of that top bar with the "view new posts," etc., tabs? It's really annoying!

Mystara

Yes. But I quite like it and it seems popular, so I will leave it for now.

Is it possible for links to be a different colour to regular text, like they were before? They are somewhat hard to spot at the moment.

I've started to underline the links in my posts (here's an example). Hopefully this can work as a useful interim measure.
