If you would rather have SMF let me know. I might be able to set something up for the community, but I might need some help with a domain name.

Keeping up with security patches is the only thing I've ever seen in the short time I had phpBB set up, but it is certainly better than yaBB.On 11 Jan 2007 01:30:49 -0000, Dada Mail (Justin Simoni)* <dada@PROTECTED> wrote: I'm going to probably change up the Support Boards software from YaBBto most likely phpBB.

I'm going to probably change up the Support Boards software from YaBB to most likely phpBB. Unless there's any protests :) I'll probably doing this pretty soon. What I like about phpBB is that it runs off of a Postgres backend - I don't have access to MySQL at the moment. One of the horrid things about YaBB is that the database is based on a flat file system and every couple weeks, that hiccups and the boards get corrupted, which I hate. Any last minute vetos? :) ...Continue Reading

Hey everyone, My computer just experience a hard drive failure, so I'm currently re- setting everything up. Dada Mail of course is on a completely different server and it's totally safe, but some of my previous contacts, emails, etc are pretty much gone. * If I seem to be experiencing some amnesia on an issue - I blame that ;) * If I have fallen on the wayside of any business communication, please get in touch with me via email, so we can pick up the thread. Thanks everyone! ...Continue Reading

Clicking the second link ( http://lists.knowmad.com/mail.cgi/archive/ shift/newest/#sender_email ) from my mail reader seems to work - I actually don't understand how it works at all, since there's no real anchor tag to target. I guess it's just targeting the tag with an id of, "sender_email"? I didn't know that was possible. Does clicking the link in your mail reader in the message you just sent work for you or not? If not, perhaps it's a mail reader problem. Which still would be weird. ...Continue Reading

Hi Justin, I seem to be blessed with uncovering issues in the operation of the Forward to a Friend feature this month :). Here's the latest: One of my clients told me the Forward link I added to their newsletter[1] wasn't working. I tested it and sure enough the link[2] doesn't work. However, if you don't use the link and instead scroll to the bottom of the page to fill out the form, it works fine. Rather interesting that adding an anchor to that link causes the form to fail. I'd debug but am just not familiar enoug ...Continue Reading

Hi Justin, I'm glad to hear that you're aware of the situation. The system doesn't seem to be getting terribly abused yet but I will turn it off if it becomes a bigger issue. I mostly wanted you and others to be aware of this spam vector that's now being used. I think CAPTCHA is about the only suggestion I'd have as well. I agree that it's not very friendly. Even I have a hard time reading those skewed images sometimes! Having sound would be a nice touch. Thanks, William ...Continue Reading
