Welcome! So now, during the summer season, my plan is to get a mac (powerpc G3 or better), so I would like to ask the people of this forum; where exactly is the best plac…

Hello, I'm a forum lurker, so don't expect much posts from me, although I will be lurking around this forum for a while (probably until my sudden desire for a mac disappears, but t…

If you have a copy of Tech Tool Pro 4 or the Apple Hardware Test disk that came with that Sawtooth, you can run that after installing the RAM to determine if any sticks are bad. Y…

Sounds to me that maybe the jumper settings on the hard drive and the optical drive needed to be checked. IIRC, both drives are linked to the same IDE cable. Therefore, you could…

The report post button looks like this if you are using the theme that puts the avatars on the correct side subsilver2: { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "…

OK. I would say you probably have no bot registrations and are looking at about 100% human spam registrations right now, most likely Chinese or Russians. The Mac question might hel…

I would agree with TL that handling the spammers as it currently stands is not so difficult. Many of them do post one or two things within an hour or so of having signed up, but ev…

Hmm, sounds like an interesting solution. However, as I said above, we have had virtually no spam-bot registrations since adding the anti-spam questions to the registration form, t…

Any thoughts on the Mac question idea? I thought that was pretty good. Click to expand... Hell yes, definitely if it's a 4400-related question.

Is there one stick that is constantly not being recognized? Could just be a bad stick.

That suggestion you have about the input form has merit. In fact, you don't even need to put a value in it. Just leave it blank by default, and it if gets filled in, then abort the…

Most phpBB bots are pretty basic. Even if you have a bot that can beat the CAPTCHA, the bot will be confused if you make a simple modification to the sign up form. On the actual s…

Does the forum registration here not employ use of a CAPTCHA? Click to expand... It does. But there are two types of forum spam – automated and human. The CAPTCHA should stop a…

It does, but the captcha can be beaten using crafty image manipulation techniques and the use of OCR. The achilles' heel of captcha is that it must be possible to be read by humans…
