Is anybody still in touch with Mike Edge? I’d been reaching out to him via email and pm on and off for a month or so. Haven’t heard anything back. I’d sent a couple double payments to his former hosting company in the fall, which should be refunded. If anybody has his updated info, I’d...

I actually was just in contact with blue host. My experience with their customer service was terrible. They were very rude. They made it very easy for me to remove them from consideration.

Intersting, jayramfootball. Doesn't seem high to me either so that's why I am considering leaving hostgator but still doing shared hosting. I guess I am concerned that I might encounter the same issue elsewhere, but I seems to me that hostgator is reporting misinformation.

Thanks Magnus. According to google analytics I am getting about 20 visitors a day, and I when I check real time it is rarely more that 1 or 2 visitors at a time. That suggests that there is very little traffic. I did notice, however, that the forum itself often shows 40 visitors (with 2-5...

Cool - thanks. I'll take a look.

This seems to be working so far! The board focuses on Medical/Health & Beauty.

Hi Andy. So you are suggesting moving from Use ReCAPTCHA to Use Question & Answer CAPTCHA? If so, I will give that a shot, thank you.

As far as I can tell, the Spam Management admin page is still set to the default settings; however, it is unclear to me what I would need to change in Spam Management in order to improve the situation.

I recently had my forum installed and right off the bat I experienced issues with spam; to be specific, I noticed about 15-30 new accounts being created per day, and handful of spam posts per day. When I checked the IP addresses, nearly all were reported spam abusers. My initial approach with...
