Tell me what you see when not logged in
« on: February 27, 2011, 02:16:45 PM »
I think I just made some changes that should hide user names and info to guests.

Can someone log out or check before logging in?

Thanks!

I did it and it just showed Yahoo and Google. I saw your name before I signed out and then it was gone. Looks like it worked.

Looks normal.

I logged out and it took me 25 minutes to log back in.

I wont do that again so if suddenly I am gone, it is because I can not log back in.

Phil - I'm still working on the software so you may see error codes, etc while I'm changing code.

I logged out to see how it looks. I see we were able to hide user names but there is still info showing in the Info Center. Will work on that next. Evidently the bot programs have been using visible information to try to get into forums. If they can't see it then they can't get it.

May be able to shut down the verification part of login in the next few days? I tried it too and wasn't very impressed with how it works. Will tweak that if we keep it. Right now its keeping the bots from getting to the forum though. Still getting a lot of hits from them. I have several more large changes to make behind the scenes.

Thank you for your patience and sorry for any inconvenience.

I disabled the "Quick Login" that was at the top of the page. Every time you try to log in there you get an error and redirect.

Login from the Blue Toolbar on the top of the page and no error code.  ;D
