Forum update/upgrade 23.08.2011

Post by bjoern » 23.08.2011, 20:38

The forum was updated from version phpBB 3.0.8 to 3.0.9.

In addition, the Ad Infinitum Style 3.0.7PL1 was applied:

Thanks for this style go to Mike Lothar, CiC and Will Hough.

In the past, I adjusted an old Ad Infinitum version (for phpBB 2) to the forum, which lead to a few small problems.

In addition, the Register method is changed now. Because of the lovely SpamBots I had to use picture-based CAPTCHA method to prevent them from registering. But in the end it was a problem for the homo sapiens user to recognize the number and letters in the nice graphics.

Now a new method is used:

The Sortables CAPTCHA Plugin from Derky:

A simple question is asked and the new user has only to drag the correct term into the left column. I think, this is simple. During the testing period the user will still have to wait until I unlocked his account. Normally this should be done within a day. If the new method is effective, I will enable users directly the registration without the obstacle to wait for the unlocking.

Have a lot of fun!
