Hi, just a small thing I would point out, the included captchas with phpbb3 are broken, that is spam bots will hammer this place in time, I suggest you use the included question and answer captcha module, but come up with questions yourself, don't use maths questions or stuff that can be easy googled, just a thought, and maybe later on, you might want to start thinking of adding forum mods to help control the spam, if any do get though

just a heads up before the spam bots get here

He is right ! I used to run a phpbb forum and we got hundreds each day. Then I put an initial screen on registration that asked them to type the 2nd letter of the word dragon and that stopped it dead. I have no longer those code changes unfortunately.

Thanks for the heads-up, will look into this ASAP.

if you need any help, with the forum software, let me know, I do know a fair bit about it, but yeah, its something you do need to change ASAP, but I'm here if you ever get stuck

Thanks Matthew, appreciate it. For now I changed to a simple question, will add more in the future.

You are truly desperate for forum activity.

I can only respect that.

No, Flat, I think he's desperate for a ban.

Good grief! Whatever happened to Matthew? I hated his attacks on Elite Dangerous at the time but I'm prepared to admit he was right in some of what he said. I was more trusting concerning game development in those days.
