Registration, spam, etc

I've spent some hours redoing some of this site, with changes in Trac to make it usable again, so that you guys can post new tickets and make changes in the Wiki documentation. (Please do so, just a small correction or better description helps!)

The major new stuff is that all users must be registered to post new tickets or make changes. Most of you are already registered in the forum, so just use the same login/password in the login box for the Trac/Wiki/Tickets. The login link is just above the main navigation bar.

Also see Ticket #200

I've also added a link to the Forum in the main nav, remove the "browse source" since it was empty, and renamed "Wiki" to "Home" as this is a more logical name for this site.

Please let me know if there are any problems.

So there is not much going on with the FS software right now, the current version seems to work well, but that might be because nobody could create new tickets? :-)

About this blog

This is the blog for FS, here you can post and discuss general news and items that are not support related or fit in the forums.

Every registered member can post, please do so after a competition have been run, and summarize the experience and good/bad experience with the software.

2009-09-11: After the spam problem got better, it got worse again. I've had to close the ticket and wiki permissions for now. It means users will have to register before being able to create and change in the wiki or tickets. It's not what I want, but I cannot continue to delete spam messages every day. This registration system will take a few days to implement, and I'm very busy with some work projects at the moment. Please be patient. - Oyvind

2009-08-10: Even more SPAM, I've now had to raise the filter levels higher, this might mean there will be some false positives. Please let me know if you have problems editing Wiki pages, and just edit it as you want and I can approve the edit later.

2009-08-07: More SPAM problems, seems like our filters are not quite good enough, and maybe 1 in 1000 get through, still annoying. I'll keep deleting spam, but we might have to turn on registration for editing all pages, which is a pain.

2009-07-22: We had some more SPAM problems in the forum and wiki, should be better now. I've also upgraded Trac to the latest version, it should not influence much here, but let me know if there are anything that does not work as expected. -Oyvind

2008-09-21: This server is now running on new and faster hardware, please let me know if there's any problems. The Trac and bbPress forum software have been upgraded, and the system is running under an Apache module instead of the slower cgi version on the old server. This means any http links need to be updated with the new uri's (Without the cgi part.) I'm trying to make an automatic rewrite in the Apache web server, but I'm struggling with the black magic of configuring it, and I've put it on hold until over the weekend.
