Where debating everything under the sun is only the beginning

@frenzie - Frans, I reported one of your posts to see if the reporting mechanism worked - did the report get through to you?

I gave up on Opera when they dropped support for anything non-x86, without even bothering to whip up something halfway stable as a final release. Especially MacOS X / powerpc support was apparently dropped in the middle of an unannounced beta phase.

I think it's just a matter of time they will (also) close the mail-client. I think it's safe to say that people only using that half-baked mail-client because of it's integration with the browser!

..... On a non-related subject, are all BB Codes available for our use, or must some be turned on/activated by you before we can access them for our forum usage?

I've tried a few from my/a personal list on one of my FireFox toolbars I've used elsewhere that seem inoperative here in this forum/bulletin board.

What does those interrogation symbols means?

Unfortunately spam bots have become quite adept at answering such questions. Or rather, the spam bots can simply ask Google. But I suppose it's worth a try; maybe I'm overestimating the spam bots. I am sure, however, that they can break CAPTCHAs better than humans.

The best CAPTCHA I ever saw was it's simplicity.

You were asked to convert the word or phrase above.


A Word:

ǝldɯɐxǝ
or
ǝxɐɯdlǝ

The answer you would need to type in is    example




A Phrase:


uıɐɹʇ ǝɥʇ ǝpısƃuolɐ uɐɹ ʎoq ǝɥʇ       
or     
ʇɥǝ qoʎ ɹɐu ɐlouƃsıpǝ ʇɥǝ ʇɹɐıu


The answer you would need to type in is   the boy ran alongside the train



Fairly simple for a human to comprehend (regardless of state of origin), but not so easy for a logical machine (SPAM bot) to decipher.


You can play making words & phrases...etc...etc.... here..........I can't for the life of me remember where the actual CAPTCHA was used???

The first thing you'll notice when using Australis is its curved tabs and the clear distinction between foreground and background tabs.

However, since it landed in the latest Firefox Nightly, it will most probably be available with Firefox 28 which will launch March 4, 2014.

Thanks to a couple of friends, I'm finally aboard!

Although the point of gaining other members is indeed vital, that's for when the site is ready for it. But as I understand it mjm's comment was not actually a critique on that precisely (sorry for that misunderstanding mjm) but about the question asked to root out auto-spam entries. I like the idea of a question if one can be formulated which could be understood equally well across the world. Maybe In what country is the Eiffel Tower? or where is the great wall  of China? or Enter in letters the sum of 2 and 3.

Members from the lounge, that d&d is apart of, are here too. Hence "MyOpera" as the community.
