Site Update July 2011
« on: July 01, 2011, 09:32:33 PM »
I made a couple of updates today to our forum.

1. Site Updates
The annoying shoutbox error is gone once again...hopefully it stays that way. :yes:
I finetuned TP to make the shoutbox bigger so you won't have to scroll so much.

2. New Security Feature

As a new security feature you will need to log on with your e-mail address instead of your username.
This should help to minimize the number of successful attempts to highjack our members accounts.

Our memberlist isn't accessible to anyone but staff but if you have set your e-mail to public it will still be accessible to all members through quick-links via the posts you make on the forum.
Therefore I recommend to set your e-mail address to hidden.

3. New Captcha for Registrations

To decrease the amount of time Chrisa and I have to spent on removing spam bots from our forum, we are getting a new and pretty captcha for registrations that will hopefully be solveable only by humans for a while.


With that enjoy a spam and hack free summer!
