Oops...

A short note as to why there have been no updates for a while. I was away for four weeks, and during that time the host company for our site suffered a network attack. To ensure that sites weren’t compromised, they locked out changes. This meant I could not add anything until this process was complete, so things have been a bit broken for a while.

Now, back to our normal schedule…..

Registration changes

Posted by johnd in Site Admin, Website on March 10th, 2010

Just a quick note about a couple of website changes.

First off, new registrations are now authenticated by a reCAPTCHA process (those boxes where you type a couple of words to prove you are human and not a spambot). This means I don’t have to approve each new member. You have no idea how many attempts there have been to register fake users so this site can be spammed for cheap drugs and Russian brides.

I have also added this process to the comments box, and removed the requirement that you become a member to leave a comment. I’ll review this after a while and see how it’s going.
