digiSal.com Forums

Every now and then I would get a bunch of new members and they would post porn all over the place, so i started make the registration process harder. When that didnt stop them I finally set it so i had to manually activate a member. So every now and then I would get emails from spammers wanting to join

Well it finally got real bad. My phone was about to bust with all the emails coming in!

Did a little searching in the SMF Forums and it turns out there is a ReCaptcha plugin available. The install had a little hitch. It wasnt pasting  some code before the last ?> in the Modifications.english.php file so when i would go to turn on the feature the words were not there. Just blank boxes. Im using a custom theme so at first i went to make sure it worked in the default theme and then came back to the custom theme and modified its version of the modifications.english.php

All good now.

See if the spammers stop.


BTW

ReCaptcha is google owned now and they are doing cool things with it.The words you try to guess are actually words that it has scanned from Googles book scanning projects. So every time you enter a captcha you are helping google with its OCR.

nifty!

i use DynDNS. have been for a year or so. My router has the functionality built in. I just give it my dyn user and parse and it works :)

Thinking about using DynDNS and the old laptop to host a site. Anyone up on servers and the like that can be fairly secure and run under VisTA?

Did a bios update and it solved the overheating problem. It did zorch my XP install, so I retried the original Vista disks - they would hang on disk 2 of 9. And I made it all the way through. Windows update still in progress, but I am glad that this worked out. I needed a bit more arse to do some things than my netbook could provide.

For the past five or six years I have owned every top of the line Windows Mobile phone Sprint carried. When T mobile and Google released the G1 maybe two years ago I got one but held on to the Sprint Windows Touch Pro phone.

I however, fell in love with Android. Sprint has had two other Android phones but they were not to my liking.

Then came the EVO. And here I am. More to come.

Cool Weave.

I got a PS3 awhile back and although I have not used at all to play games ive watched tons of netflix movies and shows and blurays :)

A friend kept talking about NetFlix and their streams - and I tried it out on the netbook. Very good video, the quality surprised me. So... I started looking into ways of getting NetFlix to my 19 inch lcd in the mancave. There's Roku and then various ways of hooking your laptop/desktop to the tv ~ OR ~~ many Blueray players now have networking and the like built in, and ways to tap into various online video services.

SWEET!

I nailed a Sony Blueray player for ~ $150 and activated the services. From there, you load things into your Watch Instantly Queue, they show up in your Netflix deal on the Blueray player, and then you have MUCH stuff to watch. The Netflix does a free trial, but when that ends for me I will have a way to watch much commercial free stuff for only $8.99 a month. Liking it, so far.
