Mods re-added to the board will be mentioned here.
Following the upgrade to the latest php version, we lost a number of mods to the board - for various reasons it's taken some time to re-add some of the functionality, but here's what I've added so far:-
NEW Memberlist manually modified to show 300 records per page, to make searching for username easier.
(19/01/07)
Anti-spambot bespoke question - Facility to ask questions unique to CH, that anyone with basic CH knowledge can answer. If the answer is wrong, registration is impossible.
(11/01/07)
Birthdays mod added - this is an enhanced version, which shows Birthdays in next 7 days too! I've migrated previously-entered birthdays into the new database
(10/01/07)
Only Logged-in users can view user profiles - prevents guest users from viewing user profiles until they've logged in.
(10/01/07)
Real Name - allows entering of Real Name, and includes it in the Memberlist too. I've migrated previously-entered real names into the new database
(10/01/07)
Online/Offline icon - it's not the same as before, but it adds an illuminated icon in the footer of each topic, with either Online or Offline.
(10/01/07)
Easy BotStopper - prevents bots from registering (hopefully!)
(10/01/07)
RSS feeds - individual RSS icons and feeds for each public section.

I like the online/offline logo. As for botstoppers, imho all bots need to be stopped. I'm not sure, however, that I like the addition of the real name everywhere.

If having Real Name logged can prevent the rubbish that has been posted recently, then I am all for it - doesn't worry me, although I admit that it does detract from the poetry of some pseudonyms ( e.g. Little Prune and our resident Angel !)

but if people don`t put their real name in the profile it won`t be shown - look at memberlist which now has lots of "anons" - several whose user name is their real name anyway!! Seems a bit pointless to have a different user name though........

Actually, what the Forum needs is a 'Bot Slapper' ... JR?DavebytheSea wrote:Hmmmm ..... is "bot" short for bottom? If so, with what shall they be stopped?cj wrote: As for botstoppers, imho all bots need to be stopped.

You must have entered your Real Name whilst I was still making changes to the database. I used an old copy of the database to copy over previous real-names which people had entered - so I can only suggest that the (Hills) must have been on the end of your previous real name you'd entered?Katharine wrote:Last night I put in my real name, Katharine Dobson, this morning I find it is Katharine Dobson (Hills) I know that is in my signature but why was it changed?
Re. showing Real Name everywhere:-
What I can do is put something in which says "Real Name: See Profile" if it's anything other than Anon?
How's that for a solution?
