tradertwo Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 50 minutes ago, CoachT said: Some changes have been made which may require everyone to verify, one time, that this is a safe site, etc in a pop-up. The popup message may alarm some people but no choice now. New members will now have to both verify their registration by email and I have to validate each one before they have access to the boards. I'd still charge, if nothing but a small minimum with the option to "donate" more...the few that it might dissuade probably wouldn't be missed if they care that little. Also, I wasn't going to ever complain but since it's sort of connected...I donated a couple of (maybe three) months ago, yet it wasn't recognized in my status. Might be a glitch. Again, thanks for providing the site and running it with a good balance of being family friendly and respecting the right of people's opinion.

crow Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Thanks coach, I really appreciate this site and the effort you put into running it. I know it’s not for the money lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachT Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 The popup you will get is from CloudFlare and says something like "We need to check security of your connection". EVERYONE will get this when you enter on a different device but hopefully only once per device. So far the new signin security seems to be working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Drunken Sailor Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 I signed in this morning and I saw all of the spam. It was like the neighbor's cat pooped on my morning paper. When I signed back in later and saw the verification, I knew that Coach was on the job. Thanks Coach T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachT Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Everything seems to be working well. A few more spammers tried to come in but were stopped by the verification...in other words, I didn't let them. The real test will come overnight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the TOR browser and how many do you think use it? IS it the entire website or just the boards that this browser can't reach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
