Hi all,
Just a quick note to say I am away from home for the next three weeks in a
place I am unlikely to get much internet access, so moderating the forum
will mostly not be possible for me. I would be grateful if other people
with moderation/admin rights on the forum wouldn't mind keeping an eye on
the posts and authorising the new user ones while I'm away - I'll be back
to normal access from 3 Aug.
The spam problem is mostly non-existent now so thanks for addressing this a
few months ago. There is still the occasional post that gets disapproved
because it's spam but mostly all of the 'held' posts have been genuine and
approved.
Many thanks,
Aaron (pi r squared)
