http://forum.phpvms.net/topic/5110-prevent-known-spammers/ Prevented 100% of spam registrations on a site that used to get 3-5 a day. It is updated when other people get them, so you're almost never going to get a new spammer to you first.

Check the code snippets forum. I posed some code to prevent spammers. 100% effective for me.

Except the rather obvious logo copyright infringement, with no text to indicate it's copyright holder... That wouldn't go down well... P.s. You can edit your signature in your settings, you appear to have pasted it in the message body...

So you want someone to test your skin basically?

Any more detail?

And on that note, I stop reading... Good luck though

Default classes? If you're writing your own skin you can make up whatever classes you want

It can depend on your skin, however all the main menu should be in core_navigation.tpl in lib/skins/skinname/

Indeed it is. I'm away from home working at the moment and don't feel I can properly complete it here, however I may be able to package something up for release on Friday. There is going to be a little difficulty converting from the current VAForum sue to a drastic database change - this will take some time to work out. Obviously I don't want you to just be installing as if nobody has ever said anything

Ask your host if they have nightly backups, and if you'd be able to access a copy of it. They most likely do, but they might not be so keen to give you it.

There's an icon on your desktop? (on Windows) top left. Otherwise, open explorer and double click in the bar (Where it normally says Something > User > Documents or whatever) and type Recycle Bin

Visit your recycling bin.

crit·i·cism /ˈkritəˌsizəm/ Noun 1. The expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes I perceive this as a mistake. I express my disapproval. If it's just going to be ignored, why should developers put it? It only extends the time taken to download the page (albeit negligible if it's only text). Besides, if they're seeing the message then their browser is supported... Something to ponder over...

Ok, another criticism since the last about browsers: "We support: _ _ _" Don't do this either unless you plan on listing every browser created since IE7. Unless you're saying something along the lines of "We love every browser! Yay!" I don't see why anyone would bother mentioning browsers. Test on IE7/8/9, FF4/5, Chrome and Safari and make sure it's compatible with those. There are (web) tools around to test a site on tons of browsers without having to launch them all yourself.

Like this: ? I think that's what you mean... Maybe I'll get round to releasing it next week.

You'll need a cron job to run the script daily, and the mysql should be something like: DELETE * FROM table WHERE date <= NOW() Hopefully...

I tend to be rather blunt when critiquing websites. Apologies in advance: Some of your images could do with a little touching up; the background image doesn't quite tile seamlessly, and for certain others I think it's an antialiasing issue: your text is a little unclear and rounded corners are somewhat blocky. What image editor do you use? The menu/dropdown just doesn't seem to fit in correctly (I tried on Firefox (see below) just in case and it looked the same) though I don't really know what to suggest. Rounded corners and rollover effects don't tend to go well unless you use CSS3... Whitespace is key. It would benefit from some extra spacing here and there, such as between "News Centre" and the article link below or both between and either edge of the left and right sides of the content. Also, pet hate: "Best Viewed in Mozilla Firefox 4 or Higher" <- never ever do this. You should treat all of your users equally (by which I mean display content the same) regardless of their browser, or at least try. When I read that I think "lazy". Colours are very nice and contrast well, there aren't loads of in your face distractions of colour though I'd agree with an earlier point that it could do with a little more; by the bottom of the page it's all white...

Nice In the next version, it looks like this: And on the site I currently have it on I created my own PM module which is obviously linked to posts as your earlier contribution. Whether people would want that I'm not sure. If people are interested I can provide screenshots...

The example is pretty much exactly what you need to do. Make sure to give it a completely unique name - easies to add a prefix, i.e. flyaero_lang Cookies can also be disabled, so add a note to tell users that if they have cookies disabled they will be required to select their language each time. Another way you could do it is assuming based on their browser/system language. If their language doesn't match one of yours you could default to English, or let them choose again.

Oh I remember this thread! If you want to do an iPhone admin skin that's cool, I'm getting Xcode Friday so I'll attempt to make an actual app if there's still a demand?

Why JavaScript? Easier with php! $_SERVER variables for the request URL, then look up php cookie functions.

Prompted but not sole cause. There's been lots of this recently. It's no personal attack... you're unfortunately not the only one. It's rather off-putting really. I've completely refrained from even mentioning some of the things I've done myself, simply because certain people here are just so negative. Spoils it for everyone else really.

In case you hadn't inferred from my earlier posts, this thread is not solely directed towards you. Please don't feel as if it is. It's about the general negativity on this forum towards developers. Seeing as I'm sure you'd love to go into detail, however, what solid proof do you have that it was ripped off from yours? Or are you merely assuming it is because the code is similar in parts?

It's a shame you have to resort to using foul language all the time stuart. In what way, exactly, does my attitude damage the phpVMS community as a whole? I am promoting the sharing of good ideas and works. If anything it is beneficial to all. I don't deny valid points have been raised in this instance, however you would never ever get any result pursuing someone.

Yes your lunacy prompted my post. You are indeed automatically covered by copyright within the country your site is hosted in (which I'm guessing is not that of the producer of that module) so you're going to get nowhere pursuing him. Yeah I did ICT A Level which involved knowing about copyright etc laws... woop dee doo, however, if we're playing a game of "I thought of it first therefore it's copyright to me" then I'd wager that I created a similar module far before you ever did. Do I b*tch (which may I add shouldn't really be censored, please look up what it means) and moan about it, or threaten to "take it further" or however you put it? NO because doing so gets you NOWHERE.
