Sorry for the downtime.
There has been some new exploits wrecking havoc with forums, especially Vbulletin.

Also, new spam/registration protection has been implemented.



Depending on how this goes, I may re-open more common, free email registration, but I need to see how this goes first.

If that means I can use my gmail account, that would be super cool. But if not I'll be fine. I noticed the forum icons where changed for a minute when I came back on.. the "new post in this thread" icons and stuff, but they're back to the usual now.. was that a little test?

No, I overwrote them with the new ones to make sure I wasn't missing any from the update, then I put the old ones back over the top.

Just an easy way to make sure I have all of the files it needs.

So has tapatalk use been implemented yet? Not trying to be antsy, but its much easier to use with smartphones (seeing that my laptop is fried)
