Announcement: Forum issues - UPDATE 9/4/24 / 9/8/24

The forum has been attacked by bots. I deleted more than 16K in the last day or so. Justin is looking into how to help with this but until it is under control, I've set up a supplemental forum for easier use. The WA forum has so much knowledge, we can't afford to lose it. In the supplemental forum, you can link back to any information or helpful threads on this forum. The new forum requires registration, so should be bot proof. I can also ban a user if need be.

Please visit https://webassist-pro.com/ to find the new forum.

Update 8/18/24: Justin was able to cut back spam with a new firewall. It was reduced to less than 100 today, which is manageable from my side of things. I am going to leave up the link to the alternate forum, just in case we need it as a fall back. No harm in signing up!

Update 8/20/24: Back up to more than 200 a day. I really suggest we add the new forum to our tools to help one another.
Update: 8/21/2024: 2000 today...Working on it.

Thanks Mags for joining the supplemental forum. Your advice is so welcome. (Mags is now an admin on the new forum.)

If anyone has a favorite thread from WA forum, please feel free to use the supplemental forum, start a new thread and link to the WA thread that was particularly helpful to you. In addition to the link, a summary with the solution would help should we ever lose the WA forum. Let's preserve the knowledge we have all contributed to WA over the years.

So I am asking that you all sign up for the new forum. We may need this later.

UPDATE: Mags has added a captcha form on the posts. Hopefully that will slow down the bots. Please note that the Captcha must be accurate or a blank page will be the result. Thanks to all for your patience.

9/4/24 4 pm EST update: Significant decrease in spam. As new spam posted, the user is being deleted from user table. It should be better soon.

I've put another system in place to filter out the spam - hope this makes the Forums more usable again!
