I've gone ahead and changed the CAPTCHA we're using to a more secure one and also reconfigured the forum so that new users can't post spam. That said, what I've noticed is many of the users who have been spamming are users that signed up some time ago (usually years ago) with obviously fake /...

Thanks for bringing this user to my attention - I've banned them and now deleting their posts...

Can confirm he's indeed using a VPN and changing IPs fairly regularly, making banning him permanently more difficult. That said, I'll see what I can do...

Thanks for reporting - I have deleted all their posts and banned the user.

Will say I'm quite happy for photos to be uploaded directly to the forum - one would hope it's better from a preservation perspective and *so far* at least storage space hasn't been an issue. Truth be told I'd rather find ways to make more storage available than inconvenience people when photos...

On a vaguely related note, I did move the attachment storage a couple of days ago just to free up some space on the primary volume. Everything *should* be okay but as always please do let me know if you experience any issues either uploading or viewing attachments. As I understand it, humans...

Sorry to hear about the trouble with spam. I've gone ahead and changed permissions so that newly registered users cannot start private conversations.

Image filesize limit was set to 1MB, I've just gone ahead and raised it to 8MB. Might make it higher later but hopefully this is enough for now.

Hi Patrick Just gone ahead and changed it so the avatars are now rounded squares - hopefully that's a bit better.

Absolutely - will see about getting those back shortly.

Certainly something I'll be experimenting with - want to get a good balance between the old and the new ideally.

Migration has been completed (a day early no less, went surprisingly smoothly). I've checked and everything seems to be working as far as I can tell (including photo uploading) but do let me know if you hit any issues.

Fortunately, photo uploads do indeedwork now...
