Some of you have already noticed I have made a number of changes to the forum so here is a quick brief about them. Some features such as BB coding are running on trial however so please do not abuse them or use it in such a way which will irritate other users. I will be reviewing each of these features over the next few days and if they are found to be abused or unpopular they will be removed again. BB coding is a simplistic form of HTML. To use it we use "tags" which open with "[" and close with "]", more known as the "square brackets". In between the two brackets you must specify a code which will be used. For example Will look like: This text will be normal The following codes have been enabled: b, blue, center, code, green, hr, i, list, quote, red, u As a final reminder, BB codes inside a PGP signed message will break it and therefore should not be used inside anything that is to be signed with PGP unless it is only the contents of a code tag. Following a few attempts to impersonate staff and scam users I have introduced a blank filter. Each successive spam attack will then be added to the blacklist so details such as associated bitcoin addresses, emails, URLs and so forth will be added to the list. This filter will only take effect on the public forum and to combat mail spam, I have added further CAPTCHA's to users sending out unusually fast messages, plus temporary mail limits so you may only have 1 to 1 conversations with other members, group messages are now disabled to prevent a spammer sending their messages to many users with only one CAPTCHA entry. If you know of URL's associated with phishing or scamming then please send me a message with it explaining what it is and why it should be added. This was one of the most common issues which annoyed many on the previous forum. After some stress testing I am confident that removing the search restrictions will pose no problem to the integrity of the forum. It may however take up to 5 minutes for new content to appear in searches however due to the search database now being separate to the main forum database to ensure one does not hinder the other. I have added the option to view all posts in a topic up to 5000 posts in length, this should make keeping a copy (via "Save Page") of the forum easier or if you wish to follow a thread from start to finish. Please take into account long pages of over 500 posts may take a few seconds longer to load. That is all for now. Any further suggestions please add them to the Features Requests forum - I read every topic posted there so will see any ideas you wish to contribute. Stay tuned for further market launch details coming soon!
