The new look of the forum

Post by breakaway500 » Mon Nov 10, 2008 7:12 am

I don't see the "read all new posts since last visit" option. Is it gone? I also noticed we are now right hand drive,and color is spelled "colour". Is the server now located in the UK? :lol:

Edit; the "read new posts" option is now visible.

I almost flunked the sign in; when it asked if I were human I said "No".It then asked how many wheels were on my car. I said zero,as I am working on it... I was prompted to try again.. so I said "4". It then said,that I should remember that I am human,and welcome! How nice. 8)

Thanks.
I couldn't believe the amount of spam we were getting. It was literally 2-3 new spam user accounts per minute. Before I moved servers I scrubbed the database and deleted all of the bogus user accounts. There were about 14,000 of them! The new "are you human" security gateway should have put an end to that.

Thanks Mick dude. This looks pretty high tech. Only problem is I can't find my bouncing Subaru boobie avatar :(

Mick, looks good. It is taking me a bit to get used too, but glad to hear it will help out with the security issues and such.

Like a new track, it took a little getting used to the new site, but it's nice!
