The message board will be shut down at 10PM Mountain time for a short while. I have an update that needs to be done... This maint period should only take about 30 minutes unless major problems exist.

There are about 30 or so changes to the message board system. Almost all of which you the users will not see.

The main upgrade is for security issues, or leaks, that people can get in and corrupt the board. And the other is an upgrade from "Bots" registering for the board with visual confirmation. I get about 20-30 of these a week pretty easy, and each one I have to manually delete out of the system. It is just a pain in the butt.. I usually can have them out of the system within 30 minutes of them registering depending if I am at my computer. Most of these people do not post, but their profiles contain web addresses of porn or pill sites.

There will be more info coming in the next few hours, as I am searching thru the files finding if there is something else I want to fix or add to the system.

Ok I am delayed on this process. I am looking at adding a few other things to the board and I have to research how they will work with each other.... Maint updated is as of right now delayed.

Another issue.... If you are having troubles viewing pictures and the sort, AND you are logged in... At the bottom of this post goto the very bottom on the right and look for these values.

Well since the update I have done, I have had ZERO false registered users. No robots registering for the board.. Great less things I have to do each night, deleting these false members advertising porn and viagra crap...

Any other issues from anybody?
