A brand new board! I love it!

Aside from the fact until PHP5.whateveritwas that bundled libxml2, XSL support in PHP was really rather poor, XSL itself has a rather whacky syntax and the fact you need to figure out XPath (bit like SQL for XML :P)... even a simple XSL for transforming Atom or RSS2 into XHTML is quite "eep&qu...

I know, it sounds like some kind feature request, but I want to know: "What do you think of XML + XSL instead of the current template system?" I think that would have some major advantages, for example easier integration with other applications and easier templating. When you build such a ...

Then make a mod database with much different CAPTCHA's, a boilerplate question, a field shuffler, all those thing that are earlier mentioned above. Because much bots focus on one kind of those protec...

The most efficient anti-spam technique is still to use/enable something unique, such as a custom profile field, a required other field to be filled out, a different captcha, a different url for registration... all things making sure it goes away from the default setup. Is it an idea to start an cat...

I will upgrade when RC1 and the Dutch language pack are both available. They said it will be available as soon as RC1 is launched. I hope (read: I am sure) RC1 will bring down the number of spam messages.
