Sure, do you mean active links inside posts? I'm assuming this was turned off because of spamming problems? We have good filters on Pelican that I will be applying here - the system works very well over there.

thx,

Wayne

Hi Wayne. Love Pelican Parts and your technical bulletins. Been buying and using your website for years. Keep up the good work!

This is great news for the 986 Forum...I've been a "Pelican" for years with my 911s and now my Boxster.

Good luck Wayne and thanks!

Wayne is a car guy. That is sufficient to the day.

Best of luck, Wayne!

986forum has been on neglect for quite a while. Good thing vbulletin has been upgraded to fix the severe page load time and spammer posts.

And I think it's better that all these boxster forums get more integrated... there are already too many Porsche forums as is.

I've still seen a few spammers getting in; just today in fact...

Welcome Wayne,

does this now mean I have no longer to double post on Pelican Parts and 986 forum?
Hey, can we please also integrate the Babblers, so that I don't have to look at 3 places at the same time (no kidding)

Cheers Chris a.k.a "Hatzenbach"

I just installed the anti-spam filter this morning. Basically, it places all posts with URL links in them from newbie members into the moderation queue. This works great on Pelican, has cut down on 99% of spam. I also installed a spam-word filter, so posts with words like "viagra" automatically get tossed in the moderation queue and don't show up. Again, works like a charm on Pelican.
