I'm creating this to keep a list of items to look into for the forums:
Improve the last visited timestamp.
Shout box.
Install toolkit.
Adding a BBCode command to support time zones in posts.
I'll post as things get looked into.
What about the BBCode for adjusting time in posts depending on the users selected time zone.
I knew I was forgetting something, I just didn't know what is was.
I have finally found this extra add on, http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=383788 The Humanizer, for phpbb to stop spam bots. It work quite well. It has been installed on my clients web site for about a month now with no spam bots breaking it. I used to average 3 to 4 spam posts per day. During registration it asks the question "Are you Human?" Yes or No This is in addition to the captcha script. Conceivably make the question anything you want. Since it is required to answer and not a regular question spam bots are not programed to answer it, so the request is rejected.
I haven't installed that yet Stew, but I wonder if the extra radio button the spell checker I have installed does the same thing. It would explain why I haven't had a bot register in a long while.
