Wedge

*shrug* There's also an x86 version of iOS - it's how the Simulator works in Xcode. But it's still mostly irrelevant given that this latest article was nothing to do with Android or iOS and solely about removing optical drives from the laptop and bigger devices.

Heh, I can imagine.

But there are other neat tools that you can use, actually. We have the moderation filters system, which lets you moderate or even simply reject posts that contain certain words, and be selective about it.

To take your example, let us suppose that we have a drug called Unobtainium that is a doping agent. You can moderate any post that contains it, prevent any post that contains it, or you can limit it so that the post will be moderated or refused if the user has less than 10 posts, or is only in certain boards, or is posted by a non administrator. It's *very* flexible like that. ;)

I'm pretty sure I documented everything anyway, but nevertheless...

Bad Behaviour is integrated - tightly, it's not the same as you see on the Bad Behaviour site and for several reasons (it runs later in the process so things like translations are available, amongst other things), and that it's actually faster than the main BB implementation as far as I can tell but the speed difference is tiny.

There is a new CAPTCHA in Wedge, which has all new styles and just for good measure also has animated CAPTCHAs (yes, they're carefully written so as not to cause trouble with epilepsy, no, they haven't been broken in an automated fashion yet but it is pretty much inevitable), but the main line of defence is what it has been in SMF for years: admins writing *good* questions in the Q&A. Though Wedge's setup is stronger because it allows for multiple language questions with multiple options of answer per question.

There are a few other tricks of the trade added too, certain places have time gates (if the form is submitted too quickly, for example), other places have a few other tricks I don't really want to talk about without giving things away, but the spam rate here is pretty low - and there's nothing like Stop Spammer added here.

Not that I put any faith in Stop Spammer, which uses the SFS database which is still way too easy to get blacklisted accidentally in.

Sort of putting this in right here, right now.

None of the add plugin stuff works, mostly because I haven't figured out a way that doesn't suck that works without being insecure for uploading plugins.

The dropping of the optical media was not a surprise, and should not have been one anyway - as soon as we saw OS X being distributed electronically (both download and USB), it should have been clear that Apple was not likely to continue shipping stuff on physical media.

^^ This.

I has a sad :(

Everything's configured right, yet when DST ended here 10 minutes ago it didn't automatically pick it up :( I have no idea why!

Nao: is the server in Paris? If it is not in Paris, update the server timezone to where it actually is please.

Scratch that, don't change it. I just have no idea how to fix this right now. Bah.

Because when you're doing it from boards, you're doing groups, which is a single dimensional list (though even as it stands it might not always fit properly side by side!)

But when you're doing it from groups, you have to cope with a list that has nested items of arbitrary depth - and still fit in 3 columns per row - and then do the whole thing twice.

Then, remember that I rewrote group access, the boards UI uses the newer stuff, the groups/board access uses the older stuff.
