LOL.. I'm working on it!
Seems there are some glitches in this version of the board. For one, it's NOT supposed to allow anonymous posting, and someone reported anonymous posts appearing. I checked the settings, guest posting is disabled.
I'm requiring people keep a valid e-mail address in their profile. The little drive-by shooting by Brandon from Medtuity kinda shows that trolls can register with no e-mail info, homepage, or verifiable info, drop their little missive, and disappear at will. His profile lists no email address and no homepage. I DO have his info in my email files, but for now I'm going to ingnor him, other than the reply I posted earlier. Requiring a working e-mail for active members should limit drive by B.S., although making up nonsense e-mail addresses isn't hard. The forum is set to send verify e-mails to people before enabling, and I set the board to now route all new member requests through moderation before enabling them.
I don't know why it's only showing 3 months of posts - the settings aren't set to delete anything. Notification that a thread you're following has been updated unfortunately requres manually setting things to be watched. One possibility is to use the RSS feed feature to a newsreader applet, so new posts pop up as they happen, even if you don't have the board opened.
So we made some progress today.
