I don't remember ever seeing any spam on this forum in the 15 years I've been a member.

That's my view.


Perhaps it gets removed????Roger

Spam gets added by new users. New users need to be approved. No one is doing that.

Who hosts the forum?
Any info?
Is there a moderator?

I don't feel at liberty to say who gave me permissions.

I have administration rights, but only gained those to fix the advanced search.

I did look at authenticating new users, but could not differentiate them between attacks and spam. At the end of a week, it had gained on me.

At the end of the day, even though we have no new users, we do have a lot of knowledge stored. Peeps can search the database without being registered users.

Roger,
I will post the search link "info" on FB 2CVs and friends..
Cheers

Sadly, our monthly gatherings have been rather short on new and/or interesting stuff recently, otherwise I'd be posting pics here. Hopefully as it gets warmer things will pick up.

I don't do Faceache but check back here daily, usually. I'd be a great shame if this unique resourse dies due to lack of support.

I'm posting this via my mobile phone which is clearly able to access the website, but my laptop has only been showing a "HTTP Response Code: 403" page for the last few days. That's gobbledygook to me.

Try clearing your Browser cache in settings, but yiu may lose history and paswords:(

Somehow I've only just seen this thread. It's a cracking little forum and yes an amazing database. I only wish I'd discovered it sooner.

Roger, spam is incredibly hard to detect now. I'm a senior moderator on a global Mercedes site and you wouldn't believe the complexity of the attacks. It is constant and relentless. We have tools available to help but it's a constant effort. Sorry to tell you that but the bots are very real.
