Forum Spring Clean
Posted 12 Apr 11
The forum has certainly slowed down over recent months and become a magnet for spam.
I've taken a bunch of actions to give the whole forum something of a spring clean:
- The forum software has been updated to the very latest version.
- The very first forum on the site has been deleted, with all the posts and users merged into the curent database.
- Akismet spam bloking is in place to prevent most post-spam.
- Users are unable to setup a signature until they've made 5-posts. This should stop fly-by users from trying to spam the site with their signatures.
- Until I've cleaned up all the existing signature-spam, I've hidden signatures from appearing at all.
Hopefully these measures will help prevent the issue form reappearing in the future. I eventually would like to integrate a custom-built forum into the TwilightArchives.com website so that it can all be tied together beautifully.
I encourage you to dip back into the forum, reiginate the community there and continue to make use the fo the Report button to flag any content that should be removed.
Thank you and I'll see you in the forum!

My friend tried making an account, but it wouldn't go through. She tried changing her penname and password and her bio. That still didn't work. She then thought it could have been her internet connection, so she restarted the connection and then her computer. She still can't get through. Is anyone else having this problem that you know of?

Hi RileyHale, Sorry to hear that your friend is having difficulties in getting going with her account. Did she get the email asking her to confirm her email address? Any particular error that she came across during the signup procees?

She couldn't even submit for her account. When she hit the 'submit' button, it had a bunch of gibberish on the next page. She checked her email but there was nothing there, in the inbox or spam folder.

Hello. I'm having an issue. I'm trying to correct some errors in some chapters of my story, but whenever I edit them and click 'add story,' the changes do not show up. Why is this? I never had problems with this before. Can this problem be fixed please?
