In the past few weeks several large websites were hacked and their passwords databases stolen. Since that time, the number of spam postings has increased thanks to this new pool of email addresses. For the time being I have disabled self registrations for the forum. New registrations will have to be activated by the Admins themselves. We do hope that we can roll this measure back to save on annoyances in registering.
We’ve also discovered that email notifications were not working as intended. After making some changes, I seem to be receiving them again. Please help us test this by posting or responding to a message under “Site Technical Issues”.
