Hi guys,

Thanks for clearing out "85"'s postings.

Steve

Seems we have a couple of spammers who can add having registered.

Re: I'm okay with addition however if you all feel the need to go to Algebra level of higher I may have a problem with that. Good luck getting all the kinks & bugs out of the web site!

We are working on the functionality. It is now set to ask you the question only once when you log in, instead of every time you post to the forum. Keep us posted and please report anything you see that is not working.

Many thanks, here's hoping my maths is OK!

Update - No maths question asked!

We have installed a simple spam blocker for the forum. When posting you will now see a field at the bottom of the post named:CAPTCHA. It will ask you a simple math question. This question is for testing whether you are a human visitor and to prevent automated spam submissions. This should clear up the spam issue we have been having but we will keep an eye on it just in case.

Any chance of updating the forum so that you have to put a code in to post - I undersatnd that a lot of spammers are put off or can't post as they use software to do this which does not recognise the words used.

It may well improve the legitimate hits this forum gets.

Perhaps your hosting company offers this facility?

I'm with you on this one.

Hopefully, the CHARLIE_MUSIC.COM webmaster will see the benefit of giving a few trusted CHARLIE fans the ability to hoover up the regular 'rubbish' being added.

Thanks for clearing up the forum.

Unfortunately seems that they are back!

A never ending task I think.

Would you like a couple of people to volunteer to moderate and be given access to delete the posts and the posters and moderate new people?

Hi Peter,
We have cleaned up the forum page. Sorry about the spam. Hopefully we won't get anymore bad posts but we will monitor content from time to time in case more comes up.
