User Profiles

Just curious...at one time, you could click on a member's user profile and get their location, interests, birthdate, etc. I've noticed that birthdates no longer show up. Is that just a glitch or have profiles indeed been trimmed?

I was going to post something about this, but you got to it already!

We are doing a test with the user registration to help control the spam bots. For the moment, I've put back the original user profile system that comes packed with the "vanilla" phpbb2.

We made some modifications to the registration process to see if this helps cut back on spam bots.

Once the results of the test are in (give us a couple of days) we will determine what to do with the user profiles.

I'm hoping that we can revert back to the old system with a few upgrades, but that system is heavily modified and would require a fair amount of work to change.

This was an easy temporary test for us.

^ We're starting to get stuff like this at Westcoaster, too. Just today I suspended two "suspect" accounts.

'Tis the season, I guess.
