Re: Oh Hum, The Wiki Has Been Spammed.

Evening Rob, Well, Toby signed up with two new users tonight, so I shot them both down before he had a chance to spam again.

Re: Oh Hum, The Wiki Has Been Spammed.

It seems our Tony Harris is a persistent bugger. He's logged in again as a new user and spammed again. I've installed a plugin to ban his IPs, but given that his ISP is dealing out IP addresses in the range 196.0.0.0/8, that's a lot of banning.

I've never used those versions, no, so I can't really comment. Maybe someone else might have something to add, failing that, give them a try and see.

Re: Oh Hum, The Wiki Has Been Spammed.

I know. It's still a right PITA, even to sort out one spammer.

You can get better versions of the Psion programs from Dilwyn's web site, the home of everything QL. The psion stuff is at http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/psions/inde...

Re: Greetings from Chicago!!!

Did you mean the somewhat irregular eMagazine, or the eBook?

The former is at http://qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk/download ... yLanguage/ while the latter is at http://qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk/downloads/QLToday/ - help yourself.

Cheers,
Norm.
