Thanks for the assistance.  I'll report back what the user experience when trying to access the pm section, whether it is fixed for him.  I asked him to perhaps remove the cookies and the cache pages for the forum if it doesn't work to see if that could clear the issue.

Cheers.

See if it is better now. I am working on upgrading the forums. Focusing cleanup right now.

Thanks man.  Much appreciated.

Got a mail from a member of my forum concerning opening pm messages and getting an error message.  Here's the original message:

Dear Whoever receives this email,

I received a notice that I had a PM at the 'Den (it went to my spam folder but I think that's an issue with my email) and when I click on the notification to open from the home page I get an error message.  I've attached a screencap.

Thank you!

And here's the screen capture he sent - just open in another window to enlarge if necessary:

Just updated some of the spam checking code.
Found a mistake in the past for logging up blocked emails.
Added blocking of proxies, certain email domains that are spammy and some other spam detection methods.
Also forced max password length of 8

Hopefully some of these changes will help reduce the spam signups.

Hi, been having trouble lately with a lot of spam accounts.  Is there any way to stop them other than just deleting them one by one when they make posts?

Thanks.

They are all small, but it seems they disrupt tapatalk and other ways for phones to successfully access and post on the forum.  So I guess it is best to just remove them and see if that fixes that issue.

I would just avoid smilies that are too big! If they are small should work fine.

So for phones to access and use the forum properly would it be smartest to just remove smileys then?
