Folding Forum

I noticed that the forum automatically redirects to an address without WWW ... and I don't know why, but I miss them

Am I alone in this case ?

The logo should be replaced too ... phpbb logo is too common ... can someone put a FAH logo instead ?

Be patient. Everyone is working to do what they can as soon as they can. It's all volunteer "free time", as with everyone donating processing cycles.

It doesn't take long ... it's just a matter of replacing a file

Relax, it's not that important, is it?

Bonne journée,

No it's not very important ... but it's not a lot of work.

It's more important to install an AntiBot mod ...

Think of all the bus traffic that can be saved by omitting the extraneous "www." from all the Internet!

Now that we have a working forum, those who spent a lot of personal time getting this forum up the last few days are probably catching up on real life tasks. That, and now that it is working, we're less likely to mess with it as not to break it. Updates will be safely and methodically implimented.

LOL.

You saw the spam yesterday then.

I second an Antibot Mod, With rules that hide and flag threads that include viagra and porn links.

Today we had ads for mortgages.

I've blocked the primary source for the five bots that have posted spams within the past 24 hours. That's better than having to deal with them individually.

Thank you Bruce, source of peace and tranquility, for the folding forum.

Oh, but there will be more spam, no matter how hard we try to block it. If a simple step can block many of them, it's a good step to take, but it'll never be enough.

All we need to do is shoot spamers

This MOD should be good : http://phpbb.mwegner.de/english/phpbb2/ ... stion-mod/

I have the same issue with my phpbb forums : securities included in phpbb is not efficient enough to counter those bots ... and banning email extentions is efficient, but too restrictive in an internationnal forum

These bots can pollute a forum very fast ... and cleaning may become a puzzle
