I had to fill in a CAPTCHA/Word verification before replying to Newhere's post. And then when I went to edit, it would not allow. 

Is something amiss?

    Trying A Reply Now

    No captcha for me right now, on emails I get those.  Weird.

     

    Wait, weirder.  No captcha until I hit submit, then it came up.

    Happy Dancing Man

    And worse still, I can't post any pictures and not even my Happy Dancing Man and other happy smiley people - insert sad face -

    Hi guys,

    Thank you for alerting us to these issues.

We will investigate these issues and hopefully will have a resolution soon. 

    Thanks as always for your patience as we work to make the site more secure.

    Thank you Simone

    I just posted to another thread and when it didn't show up, posted again. Now I see that my thread is to be reviewd, so when it is, I wonder if both posts will show. 

    I am sure I speak for all when I say thank you for your work as a mod, and trying to keep the spam off of our special forum. We will be patient as you work things out.

    Spam

    Most of the "spam" is to old threads; locking down the old threads would prevent most of the spam we presently have.

    Almost all BBS software has the provision to archive and lock down threads. The individual can read the thread, but not post to it.

    Perhaps it's time for a new IT team?

    Stay well,

    John

    Problems

    Its sad that the forum is having problems.  As you know, I've not been able to post any attachments since you had your last big 'upgrade', and now it won't let me post the little smilies that are a part of your format. 

    Meanwhile, I see the spammers are still making their way onto the forum. 

    Hope things get sorted soon. I do so like to post little smilies and my own Happy Dancing Man. The forum needs my Happy Dancing Man :)
