986Forum Update... - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

jmatta · 09-23-2011, 03:27 AM

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"

Glad to have you here, Wayne. Cheers!

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.

hi - couldn't find the bug thread so i thought that i'd post here. the site doesn't remember you if you leave it, even if you chek the 'remember me' box.

or is it just me ... ?

Appleguy · 09-23-2011, 08:26 AM

Do we get a discount now?

Just Kidding (or maybe i'm not...)

I've purchased a many parts from you as well as used your technical posts and the 101 book to wrench on my Boxster and they all have been extremely helpful.

Welcome and Cheers!

Be sure to log in from 986forum.com - it should remember you then. The website is moving people automatically from "www.986forum.com" to "986forum.com" in order to maintain consistency. BUT, if you log in or have cookies enabled from www.986forum.com, it won't necessarily remember you at 986forum.com

Bottomline, enable cookies for 986forum.com and you should be okay.

Thx,

Wayne

How am I supposed to have discussions about Viagra now?

I'm sure Wayne can keep that limiter from being so strict in the off-topic forum area, manolo.

Topless nailed it, Wayne. That's just about exactly the problem I run into from time to time, but more frequently than I'd like. Basically, if I forget to click "Preview Post" within a few minutes (easy to forget when writing one of my long-winded responses), I run the risk of getting timed out of the forum. A half hour would be even better, but ultimately I guess it'd be up to you (or a forum poll, perhaps)?
