240gl Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Can you remove the welcome to Autoshite from every page on the forum. It's not always practical to log in just to read through the forum, and as it's now way too easy to post a reply on every page for a 5 year old, I can really only log in to make a post, and have to lurk as a guest when my little one is about. We didn't need it on every page of the old forum, and I don't think that we need it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Is it possible to allow us to edit thread titles? Some of the long-term blog threads need a new title from time to time - I change mine depending on what I'm doing with the car. EDIT - don't worry. Found out how to do it. You need to go into 'use full editor.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilko220 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 You can - if you use the "full editor". I did it on my spots thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had an effing hamster powering this site on its wheel until now and now we have staff? Yet again, Dave, thank you for the hard work in making the Series 2 with slightly less dodgy electrical connections, better mirrors and a freshly designed dashboard, wiht the same old engine plodding away underneath the slick exterior.

FredTransit Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Just to let people know there are scores of spammers trying to post on here, but Dave's system is catching them out. We're currently binning quite a few per day now so (fingers crossed) we can stop them from actually having any posts at all seen on the forum. If any do get through just report them please.the good news is they will eventually get fed up, takes a bit of time. The bad news is if they get to post (all be it it doesnt get on the forum) the spambot has ticked a box that encourages others to send more spambots this way. Remember you are not dealing with humans here, they dont read or look at the forum, or care about its subject.. Signed up. Tick. Posted. Tick. Job done.......

daveb47 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 The way our spam bots work is that if anyone makes a spam post (which will go unpublished) they will be banned and their email/username & ip added to several antispam databases.If any other website is using same databases then any attempts they make to join will be automatically rejected.So yes it does seriously slow them down.

Cavcraft Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Anyone else suffering minor glitches? Sometimes when typing I get the words in slant or underlined lettering when I didn't select that option, other times I lose all the icons ( they go grey and 'unclickable') and other times when typing it sort of automatically jumps to the first line.
