Recent Spam
Just to let you guys know, i am the new moderator and as such Ill be helping Andrew and the rest of the team with this. I am going to ask the rest of you tpfc fans to help out by reporting each cases of spam in a pm to either me or others on the moderator team and we handle appropreatly
It would be helpful if each post had a Report box - much easier to click and send a message this way and it could be sent automatically to the moderator 'on duty' - or all moderators.
Don't know if this version opg phpBB has this facility though. Worth updating if it hasn't. Probably worth updating anyway.

LOL, when I started to read thibeaz post I was imaging this: "Just to let you guys know, i am the new moderator and I'LL KICK YOUR ASSES..."
SERIOUSLY!
Anyway it is good to hear that you're a new Moderator here on tpfc

Bravo!!!
thibeaz,
Glad you are helping out with the moderating... Us TPFC fans (and there are lots of 'em) really appreciate your efforts. One thing I can't stand is some yoyo trying to peddle iPods and such in the forums. If I catch one, I'll let you know immediately!
Anything we can do - we are there for 'youse guys'.
Big shout out to Andrew; great site, my friend!!!
Thanks, all!

Yeah
This is a temporary solution until we get the forum fixed up with the antispam mods, even then some will slip will through. Plus i feel like designing a phpbb style for TPFC Forums

Well
I do know of it but it's not really coded properly for phpbb and also the developer of the phpbb port of it stopped it
Wouldn't Opera solve the problem. Text/Page zoom at whatever level you want and a button to press to get the page to fit the width of your screen?Kermode wrote:Well I don't like this forum because of the way it displays. I need to disable fontsize to be able to read stuff, and this board, instead of simply reflowing text as was the intent of html it doesn't. So i have to scroll left and right for each line ... which makes it quite a chore to read.

Things become smaller...
So no, that's why the reflowing design thoughts of the original html was brilliant.
Besides I don't like Opera, it has too many things i hate in it.

@Andrew
I suggest that the first few posts of all new users be approved by a moderator before one can freely post to the forum.

Re: Recent Spam
It's an idea, but then wouldn't more Admins be required to ensure the users message was posted in a reasonable amount of time?
