Title: Combating spam
Post by: Mike on Jan 11, 2011, 10:53 AM
Hi all,

Just a notice, I'm going to be trying out some new forum software today and maybe into tomorrow, so you might see some funkyness with the site and/or forums during that time. I've found a few boards that seem to have better access control over who can post what, so hopefully that will stop all the spam.

Until then, keep reporting the posts and I'm deleting them as soon as I see them

Deactivate the "change username" option ASAP. So you can avoid disasters in a future.

The new page is good. Looks very modern & professional. About the old design, I liked 'Show New topics since last visit' link. Any way to get the same here? :D

Also there is no direct link to go to the main page which shows news & new cars.
In quick reply, you can add a list of smileys on display & also Bold, Italic, Underline & other useful buttons of posting images & links.

Just a suggestion.  :D

All very good suggestions :) In the meantime, the NFSADDONS text in the header links back to the main site :)

There is no NFSAddons header on 'theme1' which I had applied. Its just plain text & is unclickable. I have now applied default theme & it works.

Now NFSAddons has dropped the www tag.

Looks pretty good, but yeah, I too miss the "show new topics since last visit" button, as well as the the other two buttons you had for finding new replies or recent activity.  They were handy.
