Hey all,

I have upgraded the forums to the latest version of phpbb. I have also intalled some custom addons for phpbb to stop spam or make it less. Iam still thinking of installing one more mod, so only active members can post urls, and spammers can't post urls in their first few posts, the first few days. This has only one disadvantage, new non-spam users can't post url's in the beginning.

Another nice new thing in the forum, is that you can view youtube and google videos from the forums without going to their sites. Simply paste the url and click the youtube or gvideo button, and your movie url will automatically be wrapped in bb tags.

For example:



Will give you:

I will also reorganize the forums soon. Some topics will disappear which only have a few posts, and new forums for 2142 will be added.

For the progress on the 2142 stats site, iam still working on it, and it will hopefully soon be finished, here's a screenshot:



Here's it in action for my own stats:

Note: only a few parts are loading from game modes to dogtags. And No, the player stats box isnt there, and No, you can't load yours yet

Youre welcome to post any feedback on it.

Sincerely,
Nick

Good to hear, if theres anything we do can do plz let us know.

As usual...everything looks great NSVR...keep up the good work.

nice work mate. lookin good at the moment! the embeding video thing is also a nice feature which i will certainly be using in the days to come

keep up the good work!

edit, you can even use the vid as a sig! cool bananas!!!

awesome.

the idea of limiting new users to not being able to post url's is a double sided edge. it eliminates those stupid porn posters, but it also limits users that just stop by to recruit or list a legitimate web-site.

even on our squad forums, which do not have a lot of traffic, i've noticed an influx of those "pornies"

i think the trade off would be worth it.

keep up the good work.

Ill need some testers later on for the 2142 stats site, so ill let you know.



Thanks, will do. Also you thanks for the help with the spam .



O_o didnt know that. Alright, as long as you keep it to 1 movie, and the content is according to the rules, ill allow it .



Yes, that the whole point. It has advantages on one site, but disadvantages on the other.



If anyone else has some other great ideas for addons to the forums, let me know.

Still looking good cant wait for the new site to start
