Re: Microsoft Is Expanding Their Anti-Piracy Program
That's interesting about the EULA. I haven't once seen it pop up a new EULA for me to read and accept. Honestly, I haven't read the EULA, I just remember reading from another news site that the current EULA does not include anything regarding WGA in the effect that they will be using it. Either way,...

Re: Forum Notifcation
With most of the forums I visit, I end up using quick reply without even realizing it's there, and then I go to a board without it and I'm like "where's the reply box?!" - and then after searching the whole page I realize I actually have to click a link first... :oops: So although I'm not a doofus h...

Re: Where can I download 3.0
3.0 is Olympus, but it is not yet in beta stage. It is still in alpha phase, but you can visit the CVS page from http://www.phpbb.com" target="_blank to download the latest snapshot. Be warned though that there is no support and there is no guarantees that any snapshot will be compatible with either...

Re: New CAPTCHA
Referring site can easily be spoofed. IIRC, It's part of the http headers that the browser/bot generates to send to the server.spambot wrote: Wouldn't it help to work with .htaccess, making the image visible only when the referrer is your own website?

Re: Microsoft Is Expanding Their Anti-Piracy Program
Well, considering WGA was added LONG after I accepted the license agreement, and I don't really have a choice to NOT install WGA (since it's mandatory to get any updates period), I think that's a huge oversight on Microsoft's part. :? And the point is not a violation of privacy, but a possible viola...

Re: Microsoft Is Expanding Their Anti-Piracy Program
How about getting a legal copy? :roll: If you can't afford Windows use something that is free. How would you like it if you owned a store, and you constantly had people stealing stuff from you? :roll: While I completely agree with that statement, I think a big issue with this is the issue of privac...

Re: New CAPTCHA
I also dislike Flash on sheer principle :D I completely agree, and the use of it would rule out the ability of users without flash-enabled browsers from accessing your forums. It's just simply an idea for a possible 'choice' of users, or perhaps more of an idea-stimulant rather than a suggestion to...

Re: New CAPTCHA
Here is an example of what I was talking about. PS view the Image to see the animation. :mrgreen: That's really cool, but I'd be afraid that the OCR/AI buggers would just keep turning it until it found something, and I have a feeling it'd be easier to decode a properly-turned version of what you ha...
