    regarding the 'new' forum...

    Hey, just saw the forum back up and working. Nice!

    Don't know if it's something bad or not, but the time i logged in, there was another registered user with the name Yahoo [Bot]. Just noticing it.

    Btw, a small error. The 'post reply' button says 'post replay'. Might wanna change it?

    Last but not least, about the feature with viewing our stats under the avatar... Will you bring it back?

    Anyway, don't have anything else to mention for now. Keep up......

    Fixed typo. About those [bot]'s. “Bots”, “spiders” or “crawlers” are automated agents most commonly used by search engines to update their databases. Since they rarely make proper use of sessions they can distort visitor counts, increase load and sometimes fail to index sites correctly. But i will hide those for now.
    Yes and i will restore those avatar stats soon.

    Well i dont know, i see more bots registering here again, click on the members button, then sort on join date, youll notice they are still coming.

    Sipe, how about adding a captcha image, phpbb supports it and it would make it harder for bots to ever sign up.

    Omg, don't tell me there isn't one now??? Well then it's clear why there are so many bots
    One thing about the forum: The auto-login feature doesn't work for me - it's pretty annoying. Can anyone confirm this?

    Yeah, auto-login doesn't work for me too...

    Btw, speaking of the captcha etc, just noticed that there isn't around some kind of a 'sign up' tab.
    I guess it's been removed temporarily, until our fellow RedLynxers are done with the updates.
    Or i'm too blind to see it...

    You aren't.
    Or, maybe we both are.
