Re: New members cannot post links

I have the script running on a few of my other forums, and when I tried to turn it off to test, they were simply hit with constant spam runs. So it will more likely than not become a regular feature here...

Having subsisted on MRE's for an extended period of time the only advice I can give is: don't eat the brownies! I always liked the fruit salad, though. It's like a small, hard sponge. Crunch it up, take a swig from your canteen, and it magically transforms into fruit salad in your mouth!

Has this become a joke thread all of a sudden?

Re: New members cannot post links

No, I believe that some of the people here believe that esoteric foods are relaxing. Just think of this as a relaxing gathering of foodies in the lounge.

OOOps, I just realized that we're not in the lounge, but in the news area. Well, some people do have to munch on things to help digest the news.

Re: New members cannot post links

I have just joined and the first post I made I found out that no links could be used. I had to cut and paste a lot of text to each post I made because of this but I understand that you needed to put the feature in because of spam. So long as the poor ppl in this forum can put up with my long posts, untill I can post links.

But that is the point. We want your words, your ideas and your thoughts to read and reply to, not someone elses...

This will probably be annoying to newer members - smilies are sometimes accidently treated as links - but we need to stop this spamming problem before it gets any worse.

Any questions, feel free to ask.
cool no probs with that
im surprised you dont make it more than 10

I don't want to make it too difficult for new members - and welcome to CR, timyone.
