I like this as I have several visually impaired friends. Thanks for the suggestion.

Get hot iPhones for only 19.99!
Thanks for putting the hold on new member registration. I had begun to question why are we having this problem on the new forums and not on the old? Then I remembered that on the old forums, you had to wait for access to be granted.
Hopefully a remedy can be found. I've been spreading the word to friends and fellow sword enthusiasts lately. Currently they are all just lurking and haven't registered, but I doubt they'd have reason to any time soon.

*Phew* I just deleted one big bunch of spam threads. If I ever get one buck for each spam thread or post that I delete, I think I'll be able to buy myself a Bugatti in no time.
On a more serious note, sorry to everyone for the inconvenience of having these internet pests around.

No apologies necessary Sebastien, and a hearty THANKS goes to you and the other mods who are working to keep the forum free from such extraneous BS.
Maybe we can devise a new member bull pen, where potential members are thrown for some virtual Rochambo until we decide they are on the up and up. Make em earn a membership :lol:

Hey Guys,
Thanks to all the moderators for helping to stop the spam flow - as of today it would appear that we are winning the battle with Midori acting as a 'gatekeeper' to try and identify the new members who are genuine as opposed to made from a rather suspect meat product (spam) and the other mods mopping up any bits that fall through the net, so I can take this down as an announcement.
In the meantime, lets set up that bull pen..! ;-)
Thanks all, - Paul

You must have hit the 'disable smileys' button, Mogur. You can re-enable them. Haha, thanks. Dragon that I am, I just gobble the spam right up.

Hmmm. I checked my display options and they're still enabled. I can see other peoples smilies, but can't use them myself. :(

Also I just noticed I can't edit new posts. I can edit old posts, and use smilies in old posts, but in the last few days no go!

Sounds like it could be a browser setting problem to me Mogur........If it is maybe some of the more computer literate folks here can help you run it down?...............................anyone!

Well, no change as of yet. My browser settings haven't changed by themselves. No sense posting if I can't edit a mistake. No sense being a member if I can't post. Seems to me it could have something to do with the "spam" crackdown as it started at about the same time. Hope someone can help or...

DUH! Boy, am I a dope. I guess I should have tried posting in some other threads, because smilies and edits are only disabled in THIS thread. Move along then. Nothing to see here.
