I disagree with RGX here, I believe that you can't keep a good man down. I had stuff to back this up, but I can't be bothered typing it all again.


If you get the anti-spam message...

1. CLICK THE DAMN BACK BUTTON

2. HIGHLIGHT YOUR ENTIRE POST

3. RIGHT CLICK THEN COPY

4. CLICK THE TOPIC AGAIN

5. CLICK "NEW REPLY"

6. PASTE YOUR POST

DONE

I'll admit if get anti-spam alot....well shit copying the post isn't even time consuming unless you spam.

I can't people have lost their entire post. DAMN!!

Yes, I am a computer challenged and I have never "lost" a post to anti-spam, it should still be there with a simple click of the "back" or "damn back" button (depends on the type of keyboard you have).

Copy/paste as BM described.

Anti-spam is an a trivial annoyance, not a post eater. If so, people would be bitching alot more.

It&#39;s probably not that hard, but if rookiecrd was doing it, he&#39;d probably delete softwareworld and hardwareworld ;)

I wasn&#39;t trying to be an ass or anything and I know it&#39;s common sense but it seems others are losing their posts.

....AND THERE&#39;S NO REASON TO LOSE IT&#33;&#33;&#33;

Whe it happens 5 or 6 times in a row it gets very annoying.

The fact is I don&#39;t have to do it on any other board so why should I here? Its common knowledge all it does is stop the number of people posting rather than actually stop anything malicous :lol:

unfortunately thats not always true...

I only ever have the one window open *not a good multi-tasker at all* and I still get the anti-spam message...... and I don&#39;t even post half as much as most peeps... ;) :lol:



edit: and then there are the times when you don&#39;t look at the dates of the previous posts and only realise after you have hit the post button that your comment isn&#39;t really relevent anymore and hope the anti-spam eats your post... and it doesn&#39;t <_<

well that sucks :(
it looks like we are on the back burner, how hard is it to reinstall the board with the minimal "upgrades" and replace the database
I know its kinda the last resort but isn&#39;t that a option by now ? just saying seems like it might be easier to just "reformat" by this point but you know what I mean

2nd gen noob
05-13-2004, 06:34 AM
I agree with muchspl2...

Why not just reinstall the board software on the server? How long would it take to reinstall the board software? Can&#39;t possibly take the weeks we&#39;ve been waiting for 7th Element to come back, can it?

muchspl2
05-13-2004, 06:49 AM
well I;m not trying to case trouble but a few hours offline can;t be as bad as people bitching :S
just saying but its up to the admins/co-admins and/or who ever is running the site this week

:ph34r: :ph34r: cheap shot I know but come on its been to long time & it can&#39;t take that long to re-install are what ever you have to do, I&#39;m kinda ignorant to the inter workings of a forum but seems you have to draw the line at some point. : :ph34r: :ph34r:

If you have Firefox
get the "clear HTTP authentification" extension
when you get antispammed
clear "it"
and antispam is gone

Let me tell you all, I am really pissed off at 7th right now. He has not contacted me for the last month. I have several issues to resolve and he has been ignoring my multiple emails.

As for the spam script, I am talkking to some programmers who will eventually delete it. I was hoping to save a few bucks and have 7th do it but that does not look like its going to happen.

Take his admin privs away, if he is not contacting you then it is obvious that he doesn&#39;t want anything to do with this board. Leaving us/you with this problem shows a lack of respect for yourself and the members who come here.

And make [N][O][B] the new admin, he already has a pretty sig for the job...

I don&#39;t want to tell you your business but I&#39;d probably remove this thread before those tiresome K-Tool trolls come over here sniffing for more trouble.

Just my two cents. :)

erm if you cant work it out, then just ask someone from the board to help to get rid of it, there is pretty much no need for paying for someone to do it :01:

anyhow, think about it - if he supposedly sent it to IPB to be added as a feature, go speak to someone over there and theyll be able to help - it aint hard

Of course it is Dan, I did say "IMO," and what I meant is since the anti-spam script has been added, I have only been hit by it 3 times. I am not a prolific poster&#33;

It was the "serious issues" comment, that I was really referring to. I wonder what Brian means by that. Does it mean that we are in imminent danger of losing FST board? If so, then no one would have any more trouble with the anti-spam script.

Nigel, Rookie says he will have some &#39;serious issues&#39; with 7th, I take that more to mean a black eye and a punch on the nose(if he meets him in person) or some shouitng and swearing for ignoring him :lol:

The board is going to be fine. When I said serious issues. I meant that I have some serious issues to resolve with 7th. Lets just hope that he&#39;s been real busy as of late. I have been emailing him for over 3 weeks now with no response. Emails to 7th are now getting returned.

I will go into more detail later if 7th does not respond to me. For now I will leave it at that and give him the benefit of the doubt.
