Good news to report!
For May 7, 2015
Today we have updated the forum software to the latest version. This fixes some small bugs and performance issues.
We are talking about removing the Profile Posts from the front page and will be discussing this.
PHP upgraded to 5.5.24
Main server was...
I came across this incidence in another Forum site.
An OP asked about Win 10 TP Windows Automatic Updates. He asked if he could make it Manual.
I posted an answer of using registry editor. I also mentioned that it could be done using gpeditor as well.
Then an moderator came along and copy/pasted...
I have been spotting spams very regularly.
One fact to be certain is ....... the spam post is also always the first post by the "new" member/spammer.
In some forums, the FIRST post of a new member does not get posted automatically until it is "approved" by moderation.

Whatever the Profile Post is meant to be, it seems to have been misused.
Spammers had been using it to post spams, and now new members are using it to post computer questions.
Perhaps, management will consider adding a line at the profile box to explain to new members what it is NOT meant for?
We all know that Pay4key website is not allowed to be posted in these forums.
I reported it several times and the threads were subsequently removed.
Now there is a "new" member posting the link in his/her "profile".
Perhaps the admins or mods will remove that also ?
Thank You

I know this may a sort of political post here and I know such discussions are discouraged but hear me out.
Recently Mozilla has gotten a new CEO that is against gay rights and as an advocate for gay rights this is not acceptable.
In protest I removed all mozilla products on my computer as it has...
