Morning Everyone!  Dan and I have been talking and we would like to make the forums more productive and easier to use.  We have a few ideas and you will see a few things changing.
So far:
1) You can enable 2FA
2) You can delete attachments you upload now (Thanks @Darin, C4 PM UI for calling this out)
3) A few tweaks to make attachments easier
4) Added new sub forum for Voice Control
5) moved posts to right categories
6) Gif's are now enabled

We plan to:
1) Clean up the for Sale area
2) reorganize the topics
 
We would like your input.  Do you hate the ads?  We are going to look to take donations and move you to a tier with no ad's based on being a supporter!  
Please put your ideas to this thread and we will evaluate them and go from there!
Thanks for supporting c4forums!

Hi, I just regenerated the UI theme. Can you please let me know if this made it better or worse?

I had the site recalculate the rankings with the new feature.  Should be good to go now

Hopefully this is resolved. There was an issue with the theme that should now be resolved. The logo needs to change too

Sorry everyone, tapatalk has not released a version that is compatible with this version of IPB. I've reached out to them to inquire when it will be ready.

Sponsorship would be great, this way more applicable products can be displayed.

We do have questions like those enabled. They end up figuring out the answers and just create tons of accounts. That is what happened yesterday. One of the changes I made was to the validation questions. I do like your summer / winter question, I will add that one to the rotation.
Separately, I enabled an additional third party service CleanTalk to the validation workflow. It will continue to process checks for at least X messages after a member sign up and enables automatic blocking of languages and regions. 
Unfortunately, over the 15 years of this forum spam bots have been a constant game of whack-a-mole. 
Sorry about this issue.

Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the incredibly frustrating spam attacks lately. I have added the CleanTalk plugin / spam prevention which should solve the problem moving forward.
I will monitor it closely to make sure it's working properly. 
Thank you so much for your understanding.

I apologize for this issue, it's incredibly frustrating. A new spam protection plugin has been added that will hopefully resolve this issue permanently.
Thank you for your understanding.
