that is a GREAT idea... look for this in the next version of the test... it should be out in the next month or so. . . .. . If I build it, they will come!

WOW, thanks for bringing this to my attention. Yes this is something that only shows up to forum guests not logged in members. This went for a long time unseen because...... well... I'm always logged in, so I never noticed it. Needless to say, I've fixed the error. I just wonder how long this has been an issue. Again, thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. - Damon owner/admin

nice links, thanks for not linking to crap

Good luck to ya

Phtoshop owns!!! ... I mean pwns, lol

lol

no... thank you

ahhhh put some liquor in there, just don't tell anyone

look at your title

Wow, happy birthday... you're almost as old as Hugh Hefner... I hope you feel as young as he does -D

I'll actually be re-writing this pretty soon It actually was much smarter before I rewrote it the last time, the benefit now is that there is like 1000 less lines of code to do nearly the same thing. But with this new model I have some ideas to make it even smarter than it was before and still benefit from less overhead. As soon as I start playing with the code again I will for sure rework this, look for it in the next version of the tests -D

Overflowing error logs from yesterdays BS caused the forum to go down. Took me a little while to figure out why the forum was down but this has been resolved.... sorry again.

Sorry about the downtime, there was a little misunderstanding between myself and my host... but it has been resolved. They owe our users and I a huge applogy for simply turning my servers off without calling me, bastards. lol -D

Wow, thank you all for the awesome comments. I've been a little absent for the past couple of weeks, but I'm able to do that every now and then when things come up because of the dedication of our mods and even huge amount of dedicated users who aren't mods. The number of awesome, helpful users we have attained over the years has blown my mind... I only set up the structure and attitude...... our members and mods are the real people that need props for continuing the tradition. So I'd like to give you all a round of applauds You guys rule -D

To anyone who was offended by the user 'mastertech' just know that we don't encourage members like him. We encourage learning here... not someone telling people how stupid they are. Just because someone is ignorant of something doesn't make them stupid. This member has been banned for his snooty behavior, how would he have felt if someone belittled him when he was learning? Very rude and not tolerated here. - have a good one guys - Damon

It seems that googles ad-server is having some issues, this may or may not lag the loading of our pages, depending on what browser you're using... sorry for any inconvenience. Google should have the problem resolved shortly. - Damon

lol

Both of you will be great additions, I will grant permissions and PM you the rules

either write your own or post quoted articles

testmy.net is currently seeking authors to write internet, technology, hardware, software and all around computer news for the site in our newly renovated news section. Positions are limited and there will be many rules to accepting the position, if you think your up to the challenge please let us know in this thread. We will only accept members with a completely clean background with the site (no major past issues) and members that have been with us for a while. If you're interested please also tell us how many articles you would be willing to post to the site on a monthly basis. And of course these positions will come with a spiffy title and rank image Thanks guys! - - - I hope to see allot of people willing to fill these positions.

Actually I noticed that I did in fact have something in place to prevent this... I had it set to no more than 4 recipients at once. This guy ran a script on the site though and his script sent 4 then sent 4 more then sent 4 more.... over and over and over. So it looks as if I need to do a little bit more to prevent this from happening in the future.... as always I will figure out something to make sure that our members are safe. But they will always try, when you have a site that has this many members and has as much traffic this site has jerks will always try to misuse the service. I just under estimated what lengths people would go to... I never thought that someone would go to the trouble of writing a script to get around it. I'm looking into making it where people can only send a limited amount of PMs per day... this will be impossible to bypass Again, I'm so sorry for this being able to get to your inboxes. I hope his ISP does something with him. But I wouldn't be too suprised if he was using someone elses IP to hide.

loads fast for me as well

I went ahead and made the changes needed to fix this from happening in the future. Now, regular members are allowed to send a PM to a maximum of 5 people. This will fix the problem for sure, I'm sure that nobody in their right mind would attempt to send 6200 messages by hand... they will just move on to a site that isn't secure Thanks everyone who reported this.

This member has been banned and he will be reported to his ISP. Sorry to anyone who received this spam. Because of the high volume of people reporting this issue I'll be unable to reply to each person individually, but our mods took care of the problem before I could even get to it. I'm very sick right now but as soon as I'm well I will be taking actions to limit the amount of recipients allowed per message to make it difficult for people like this to spam our members. I thought this was already in place but when I upgraded SMF I must have written over the changes. Again, very sorry this got through. The best thing you can do is delete the message and ignore it. If we all ignore spam like this these people will have no reason try in the future.
