All,
The main cause is lack of time
- If self-registration is enabled, the forum administrator gets swamped with spammers who have scripts running to register on forums across the internet. So we need a SW upgrade to be able to identify spammers, but for this we need to select a new SW package first as the current one is going nowhere. This takes time.
- So for the meantime we have to revert to manually entering new users. This takes a lot of time.
- In the meantime I am looking for a new forum hosting provider, which again takes time.
- Then we need to migrate the database to the new SW. This takes time.
In short (and I have asked before):
if there are any (prospective) members with the required IT skills to solve these problems, please step forward!
Regards,
Hanno
