You need a licence to drive. Yet the 'bad guys' just ignore that. Enfd result is the same. Good guys have red t...

Re: Unwanted changes in servo centres

I have seen a similar issue some time back.

If i recall it was essentially an issue with my mixers not having a suitable output in one of the flight phases.

Re: Forum Upgrade

Ok... Found the OC ban option.

Click on the users name
In their profile page - right at the top is a link: 'Ban Hammer this user'

That will do the trick.

I need to work out how to add it back to the listing page!

Just tried the same subscribe. It worked for me!

I suspect that its because the new forum software needed more ram allocated to php - this has been done since you posted.

Re: Anti spam measures are too aggressive.

The vast majority of 'blocks' are triggered by a system called 'stopforumspam.com'

We.could try go without it for a bit.. but I suspect it will be very spammy!

Re: Anti spam measures are too aggressive.

I have established that the admin email needs to be updated.

It's sending to the old 9x forums address.

Will be updated asap.

I know the spam is an issue. There is no magic bullet to fix it... but am working on a plan :)
