Yep - we are tweaking some of the spam settings right now. I've approved that post, you should see it up on the site now.

Evening folks - a spam update and what we are doing about it. Since August, the amount of spam the site has been subjected to has steadily been increasing. 22 days into October, there have been more spam-posts than all of 2016 combined. Spammers attacking the site are sometimes using VPN...

Ok new changes have been deployed which should cut down on the number of new spam registrations. We'll monitor closely for a bit to see if more are getting through and then try to determine what hole they are exploiting. It's a never ending "game" I'm afraid. Wanted to call out both coachgeo...

Hey folks, appreciate you hanging in there. We're going to make some updates to make it a little harder for spammers to get accounts or post.

Hello and welcome!

> Well that annoying popup banner is back! Doh! That was not supposed to come back. I've disabled a bunch of ads from that vendor until they can get it fixed. Sorry about that.

Hello folks - Sorry to hear some of you are having issues. Are you still seeing this behavior? If you switch browsers does that help?

Anyone else have a tablet to confirm this same behavior? iPad or Amazon Fire tablet maybe? Anyone seeing this overlapping behavior using a desktop PC with a browser, if so, post your browser here. That will help us debug this a bit. Sorry folks, hang in there. Appreciate the heads up on issues...

Ok so this might be a tablet-only issue. What tablet and web browser/version are you using?

Hey there - Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing and when you started to see it happening?

Ok sounds like the fixed blue banner at the bottom is gone, that's good. The text links you are seeing (that send you to a second page) should be temporary and eventually turn into display ads only. It takes the system a bit of time to figure that out though. I'll keep an eye on this to make...

Got it, thank you. Can you try clearing your browser cache and see if that removes the blue banner at the bottom? Does anyone have a tablet where they did *not* visit the site yesterday with it? Does the blue banner show up? I'm trying to determine if this is carry-over from yesterday and is...

Hmmm - would you mind taking a screenshot and either posting it here or PMing it to me?

Evening folks - This was a problem with the ad configuration on our end and should be corrected now. Can anyone who was seeing it before let me know if it looks to be fixed on their end? Thanks and apologies for the interference with the site here! Mr. K

+1 - Nice truck! I want one.

Hello folks - Hosting provider took some downtime yesterday from about 7:00 PST to 13:00 PST. Sorry about that. We are back up. That was the first bit of downtime in a while and for the most part, have been pretty darn stable since moving providers and updating the infrastructure. Thanks for...

Hello there - Appreciate the heads up. Is this still happening? Lots of people seeing this? Trying to understand how widespread this problem might be.

Yep, site underwent a few hours of maintenance the other day. Sometimes the hosting company only gives a few hours or maybe a day notice on some of these. Apologies for the downtime here.

Evening folks, Vic and I like to kid around a lot and not take things too seriously. We encourage off topic discussion here and lighthearted jokes and fun but this Off Topic forum is not one of those "anything goes" locations on the internet. Please keep your postings: * free of jokes or humor...

Thread has runs its course. Locking.
