I got a warning while access a thread.

It is probably due to some spam message in that thread; we try to delete them as soon as they appear, but these guys are very persistent. I'm wondering if we should close the forum completely for registered users only.

Best regards,

I would, but not only for that reason. The inforamtion you get in this forum is like gold and should only be accessible by people who actually purchased your application. I would pay to get access to this forum!

Hhmm. I thought it's closed already..
+1 close it..

[stevesideas]

I would definately close it. Totally agree with Glory !

that message is saying something about "adam_stewart" i wonder if its something from his website?

Honestly, I wouldn't close it. It's like theres something to hide like how the e-on guys close their Vue forums. It just takes away accessibility and the forum itself is a huge marketing tool, imo. I'd definitely close off/delete the public section, but the entire forums should still be viewable by the public.

Maybe make the anti-spam question a selection of 3D related questions, so instead of 5 + 1, it's "Ambient Occlusion is commonly abbreviated as.. ? (AO)", "What file type is commonly used for light data? (ies)", "The blurring of objects that are further away from the camera focal point is called ______ of field. (depth)", etc.

glorybound, avast is crap - buy a better solution, because avast is the most paranoid AV system available.

I guess this "malwarescript" is nothing else then a .htaccess redirect to prevent using images on a different host.

anyway..vlado, maybe it's better to let user upload the avatarimage to your webspace instead let them link to an image.

This is possible for this forum, I think; it was not possible on the old one.

Yes, this is what I meant - closing just the public sections for writing.
