 Topic: Website Issues and UpgradePosted: 12 November 2011 at 20:42 |

Hi,
This morning I logged on to find that a spammer was actively spamming the site with large volumes of posts. This was having an adverse performance impact on our other main sales sites and so we took down myHanse in order to stabilise our web servers and get our corse sites back online. Once that work was completed we have now upgraded the myHanse.com site to the latest version of WebWiz forum. There are some features (such as picture upload) that are not working at this moment but should be fixed shortly. There are also a lot of new features that I have not really looked at yet. If you have any other issues please either post them in this topic, or email help@myhanse.com Thanks, Jonathan

Thanks and lets hope this solves the spamming problem. Its never easy working as a system administrator. If it works you get no thanks and if it does not, well...
If this does not improve the situation could I suggest we have an application/vetting process for members prior to admitting them as being able to post? That should hopefully stop the casual spammer that we've seen over the past weeks.

Nice to get back to normal again.
MyHanse is a superb world wide site and is certainly one of the very best sites of it's kind. Attacks by spamming fools are always difficuly to repel, and I don't have the technical expertise to make any other suggestion other than to suggest perhaps that a small annual subscription be introduced to help maintain the site, and also to discourage such activity such as spamming and suchlike. Regards, John |

aaaaaaargh, no please, no no charging...................
I am sure Jonathan, has/will sort it...
 To be honest, in the past, I have seen people moaning about the spammers and the webmaster, ( and yes it is annoying and troublsome) but as someone said, when all is working well, very few people congratulate the Webmaster, but when there is a problem, critisism of him is high, even down to suggesting that the forum be taken away from him.
How sad. I think we should let Jonathan just get on and do the things he has to do when he can do them, and be grateful that he does..........

Thanks Jonathan
What a relief that you took action on this. Hopefully no charged subscription to this forum will ever be needed. Most of our problems (or some of them at least) could probably be solved with a suitable verification procedure when setting up members profiles. Ole, |

I have three issues: Some of my pictures are gone. My best guess is that the new software does not recognize the Swedish letters å, ä and ö. The Swedish section cannot be read because these three letters are changed into incomprehensible symbols. My signature is acting up. Every time I try to change it my website link goes awkward. I am not able to display all letters. Other than that I just want to let you know that your work is much appreciated, Jonathan! Johan |
