Jeremy if we upgrade is it safe to remove our .htaccess file that blocks the sites? I mean like after we have banned them in the admin cp.

[Jeremy]

.htaccess banning is more efficient. i would leave it there until those users have taken down the button.

[Koby]

Then should I be adding new banned members to the .htaccess file once I upgrade?

[Jeremy]

depends why you are banning them. if they are hitting you with tons of button.php requests, then htaccess is better. besides that, it doesn't matter much

[Koby]

Most of the spammers now days don't even bother adding the button code. I'm usually banning them just to prevent them from rejoining (though they can always find another way). I really don't think they'd keep purchasing domains though to get pass the url bans.

Hello,

I run a topsite using version 5.0.1

I use the Softly skin by Celestial Star which I have modded slightly

the topsite is here http://www.scottishwebcamslive.com/links/

My question is if I upgrade to the new 5.2 because I need the new captcha system really bad will this ruin my Skin/template ?

or will the skin just sit nicely where it is on top of the upgraded software ?

best regards
Ian

Hi Jeremy,

the upgrade works fine for me! Thanks!

I have one problem:

The user gets the email and i have added this in join_email.html:

Code: Select all

Username: {$username}
Passwort: {$password}
Titel: {$title}
Kategorie: {$category}
Homepage-URL: {$url}
Button-URL: {$banner_url}
Beschreibung: {$description}


But the fields are emty. Users just can see the username but nothing else
In the admin-email all field are shown.
