newsNew EasyOS forum
I posted a couple of days ago about the new EasyOS forum:
https://bkhome.org/news/202007/new-easyos-test-forum.html
There were teething issues. I tried different forums available
via the "Installatron" at my host, omnis.com: phpBB, FluxBB, MyBB,
Simple Machines, Vanilla Forum and XMB Forum. MyBB came out on
top, with superb registration security, ease and sophistication of
configuration, and very fast.
So, the MyBB forum is now up:
Maybe I have gone overboard with registration security, but I
have had bad experiences in the past, when hosting a forum. I also
had a blog that allowed comments, and suffered from a repeated
spamming.
For this new forum, your email address and ip address get checked
against the StopForumSpam database, there is a CAPTCHA, and a
simple question to answer. On top of that, email validation is
required.
StopForumSpam is explained here:
I have configured MyBB to use it to check for email address and
IP address in the StopForumSpam database when you register.
