SMF Helper

Well I started a new site. I guess the best way to explain it is this:

I have been using SMF for over 6years now and absolutely love it. I wanted to try to give something back to the community by creating an extra support site for SMF. This is NOT to take away from the community it is to give back to it. I have seen a lot of the other sites around that bear the name SMF and figured that I could create a nice little place to help people out. I didn't figure this was a problem at all.

I realize that I don't by any means have all the answers to every question out there concerning SMF and I don`t claim to. This site here is great and I love being here. I just figured I would start up an EXTRA site I guess to help out a bit more if I can. I hope you all like it and remember I am not trying to take members from here or anything like that. I just wanted to help out a bit more that's all. So with that all said and out of the way, here you go. Any feedback is welcome.

Looks ok. I'll keep an eye on it. I join lots of SMF sites. For the expertise and help that is received.

Thanks, as you can see I have just started so there's not alot of content yet. Captcha has been re-installed and is working again btw.

Skipdawg · August 18, 2006, 12:00:18 PM

Bigguy · August 18, 2006, 12:09:05 PM

Bigguy · August 19, 2006, 12:51:10 PM

Thank you.

Well I was going to join but after several tries with that stupid security code crap ain't gonna bother with any site using it. it is suppose to keep out the bots but guess it stops those of us with vision problems too. What a piece of crap yea it pissed me off.

I refreshed several times trying to see one I could make out.

Bigguy · August 19, 2006, 02:04:11 PM

Are you referring to Captcha

I was having problems with it earlier as well. I guess I`ll take it down. Sorry about this. I will take it down now.

Polymath · August 19, 2006, 02:33:42 PM

It worked ok for me. If it says you need 8 letters... its the password that does...not the capthca code.

Bigguy · August 19, 2006, 02:44:04 PM

I have the password set to medium security, there's no problem with that is there.

Well some folks like it but I have a vision issue and can't see diddly in it. Thought I had escaped that mess when I left IPB and phpBB lol

I have no clue why I can't focus on it. doctors call it some kind of stigmatim or something like that.

$:-\$

Bigguy · August 19, 2006, 11:01:23 PM

I`m sorry to hear that, it doesn`t sound like a good condition to have. I have taken down Captcha for now and will play with it a little later. If you would like to register, please do so.

Skipdawg · August 19, 2006, 11:35:21 PM

Captcha is a good idea in concept but they need to just fix it for the vision impaired. Stop the bots not the people. lol

No sweat. I had seem the Mod posted but had hoped SMF folks had improved upon it for I know it is going to be part of SMF 1.1 RC3. Hopefully as a option.

Polymath · August 20, 2006, 12:49:50 AM

Nope not that I can tell. All worked for me
