Galleries Not Available

Update June 2024: The plugin being used to support user image galleries on this site was no longer supported on modern versions of this forum software, and for security reasons I had to update things (it was on a VERY old version!). So the galleries are gone for now. I do have an archive of the coup...

Equations!

This is one that was in the back of my mind for a while, and Dave's recent post prompted me to finally get off my butt and implement it.

Re: New forum members

Yes, it appears the spammers broke open the floodgates set in place. The posts should all be gone now, and the users that posted are deleted permanently. A new countermeasure is in place now that should help a lot. Unfortunately, there are about 100 more accounts that were created over the weekend t...

HurlingForums.com Image Galleries

Update June 2024: The plugin being used was no longer supported on modern versions of this forum software, and for security reasons I had to update things (it was on a VERY old version!). So the galleries are gone for now. I do have an archive of the couple dozen photos posted, and can put them in ...
