Message Board

I just made some minor changes to try to improve the speed of posting, as posting seemed slow, which results in a lot of people clicking the post button more than once, which I think is the source of double postings. Hopefully helps, but if you notice it posting faster, and wonder if someone did som...

when you navigate to the active forums, there is a mark forums read at the top of the listing, in the white space, to the right.

When you navigate to a forum, it's in the same spot, only it says mark topics read.

Hope this helps

And for those of you who choose to sign up, know that to keep down on spam, each account request is looked at with real eyeballs, so it may take a day or two to be processed.

The short answer is yes.

As an FYI to any new users trying to register, the board is currently being flooded by new user requests, all originating from Russia and Eastern block countries ( > 100 this morning) Every new user is approved manually, so it is not an instant process. Also ask yourself, do I need to create an acco...

It was a thread that you may have commented on, that got deleted, so was hanging around because of your comment, so may have been mis-attributed

And for those of you keeping score at home, the new oversight has stemmed the flood of new user registrations, all the new spam messages are by those previously registered.

I have turned off user registration via email confirmation to try and fight this. This means I'm now looking at every user registration. There are various authentication means(capcha, etc.), most are circumventable by bots. As a starting point, I changed the question asked when registering. I guess ...

As a heads up, I'll be integrating the ad server that runs on the main tapeop.com into the messageboard over the next couple days.

I think it's done in a way that's not too painful, and meets the needs of keeping the board readable, and keeping the board alive.

follow the post title out to the right, and click the grey exclamation point (report this post). It may give some options for type, or the ability to add a note as to why you are reporting it.

On a smart phone, there should be an ellipse (...) icon, under which you can choose report post.
