View Full Version : Did anyone see the weird question box before posting?

Just came on a few moments ago and realized that the quick reply box was gone. On top of that, there was a question box asking "a swift fox jumped over a lazy dog. What animal did the fox jump over?" or something to that extent.

Was it just me or did anyone notice this? Thought I was being hacked for a moment...

Normally that feature is to stop spam bots, shame we can't get an anti-idiot feature to do the same

It shouldn't have been. most vb forums set this up as default to stop spam messages etc

It's actually not that small of a thing. Had to create a few new templates and massage some features. We had tried human verification stuff before but it failed miserably. I've been spending the last few weeks learning how to fix some forum issues in my copious free time.

(You may have noticed the forum changes went live early today, before office hours.)

(You may have noticed the forum changes went live early today, before office hours.)Well thats understandable. Pardon my question then as I have very litte programming experience.

It almost seems like you guys need a whole team for forum and for the games. The blurring of the lines seems to always leave one side or the other handicapped at times.

I still don't see any question; but hey, I'm not complaining.

What determines whether this question shows for you?

This would make us forum regulars more than eligible, but maybe what i saw was it being integrated because I have way more than 10 posts.

So for every post from #1 to #10 you have to answer a question?

Kinda working on that this week. There are a bunch of really exciting things coming down the pipe for support and community in the next few weeks. Everything is secret right now, but when the ink is dry I'll be making a lot of posts. You'll also see a lot more activity on our social media pages.

I have to believe the number of nonsence complaint tickets alone is astronomical...

I like secrets - but only when I'm privy to them. You can tell me ......I won't share......lol
