I'm not sure if anyone else is getting this but when I log out of here, I am given a screen that says ACCESS DENIED and a bunch of other rubbish. this has gone on now for about the last 3 times I have signed on.

I use the upper log-out button above. I tried the one on the left panel and I get the same thing.

I figured I might as well let you all know about this. Sorry but I did not see the problems section..

Yeah, it happens to me as well, Winterhawk.

The reason for this is simply down to the spammers. They forced Jig's hand and you must now sign in BEFORE you are allowed access to even read messages on the forums.

When you log out, it defaults to the forum overview - which is now a restricted page. That's why this is happening.

We've been discussing various upgrades that the forums are desperately in need of in the staff room. Jig won't be able to implement the necessary upgrades until he gets his broadband access, though. (He's moving house at the moment)

Until then, we're just gonna have to put up with this annoying problem. The only way to avoid it is to not logout - unless you're on a shared computer, of course. (Don't let your wife use your account, Winterhawk! )

We have "contingency plans" in case the spammers continue to spam the forums even after the upgrades though. And trust me, they are NOT nice plans for your average forum user. Big problems require drastic measures though.

So has this been solved? Even though I no longer log out, When I come in I have to sign in again.

Hopefully we are somewhat back to normal.

About the site, guest postings are gone for now and might not be coming back since its not used much.

The site will be receiving a update soon to hopefully block spam attacks and also to get more functionality and features. As we need to bring botf2 community up to spec ready for the new year of 2007.

Good windows xp guide a little down the page of that link.

LOL . Hmmm Not the kind of "burning" I was thinking of there Skeet!

But I do like your idea! I was expecting something like that from Matress.

Hey mate burning cds "i imagine" is fun, they cost like 50 for a fiver and are great frisbee's so lighting one up and flinging it "i would imagine" would be good fun.
