Oh.

Thanks. :)

No worries.

Is there way to impose a 5 or 10 minute no-post delay for users posting new threads? It would help alot with spam bots without impacting regular users too much (I ask having deleted 10 posts in a row of advertising).

We can't impose a delay, but there are two things we can do. There is a setting to require staff approval of all new users, and we can enable two anti-spam plugins. I've just enabled the plugins to see how they work for us, so I'm not going to implement the signup approval just yet.

EDIT: Actually, three things: I've also turned on reCAPTCHA to prevent automated signups.

Users' comments (i.e. here) and discussions should be paginated. Just having "More comments" to go forward a page is annoying,

Yes, the lack of convenient access to historical comments is a major weakness of the set-up here.

I seem to have lost spell check on my system. Is anyone else losing it or is it just me?

Maybe you now spell all words correctly. Have you recently been hit on the head?

I actually get spell check on my home and work computers, but not my phone. Not sure why.

It's a browser feature, not a feature of the forum, so I assume whatever browser you use on your phone doesn't have a spellchecker.

I use DOS 1.3

I thought maybe I had become a perfect speller till I tried to spellllll spell wrong and it let me.

5 was the best version. Get actualized once in a while will you.

MMMMmmm no spell check is still not functioning.

What browser are you using?

Internet Explorer

That's your problem.

What do you mean? Spell check has always worked on EI.
And NicK agrees with you whole heartedly that I should be on Fire Fox or Chrome, both of which are options on my desktop. My problem with both of those are they block too much content for my searches.

Trying Chrome
Hmmm it works. Thank you. I am still curious as to why Internet Explorer doesn't support it all of a sudden.

Open IE, press ALT, then go to Tools > Manage add-ons. On the left there might be a "Spelling Correction" option. Click it and make sure "Enable spelling correction" is ticked in the bottom left.

You should do this for a living! Thank you!

I request a feature to disable spam, like the following, which I've seen littered across the forum, and which presumably comes from some sort of bot:

Our Facebook page is one of the few bright spots on an otherwise trivia-littered, over-commercialized, insipid, vanity-driven, dopamine-inspired landscape.
