WELCOME TO GEEKFORUM VIA SMF v2.0
« on: October 19, 2011, 09:33:17 PM »

As you can see, I've made the switch to the latest and greatest version of the SMF Forums. There is some work to be done in order to get the themes in order once again, and that will take some time to get straightened out.

If you notice any weird issues with the forums, please report them in this thread as I'll be checking back to identify and resolve any potential issues that there may be with the upgrade.

I think I remember being able to change the post counts back at SAF.  Chris, you need to disable that power for the mods.  Everyone knows I'm the most loquacious one here.

Is there any way to make it so that we can modify posts that have been deleted?  Can bots still get to those posts?  I always try to edit out the links before deleting the spam posts but sometimes I forget and it's a real hassle to un-deleted it, edit it and then re-delete it.


For those of you who don't know why I'd want to edit deleted posts...the moderators can see deleted posts.  So I figure bots can still see them too and I don't want the links to still be there for the spammers.

It is a bit bright, but it looks good. Can't wait for the themes, maybe one like this but much MUCH darker.

Yeah, I noticed that.

BTW, I clicked on that post when it was still in Flamer's Corner, and tried to reply to it with something appropriate, and got a big fat YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO POST REPLIES IN THIS FORUM and I'm like WHAT THE DOUBLE YOU EFF!

After a moment I realized you had balleeted it a moment before.

FWIW, I don't think the spamcatcher would've caught this guy anyway.

For the time being, I have actually disabled new member registrations until I can install the SPAM mod to prevent spammers from registering. I figured it would be best that way.
