I didn't realize you were talking about the /website/ forum. Hell, I don't even recall seeing this forum, or maybe I did? I'm so out of touch ;-) I guess this is the forum that used to be SF but then everything changed when we moved to GitHub and then the site was moved to Andrew? I thought you were talking about the GitHub /issues/ page ! I thought /that/ was the only forum we have. Sorry about that. Man, I gotta figure out how to get emails from this forum. I never get anything. I don't know what my password is, but I think Robert gave it to me and I wrote it down so I'll look it up... Thanks.

It means that previously it was possible to create and enable a forum account by going through some steps to try to eliminate bots. It seems the bots have gotten smarter though. A lot of spam has started appearing on the forum again. I suppose you won't see this unless you are subscribed to get mail when there are new messages on each forum. > > Working on New Drums here, if you're following.

Yeah we'll have to manage. it's wierd that they can get through. Brute force coupled with better wordlists I guess.. I'll try to set up a reminder for myself to check outstanding accounts. > > > -- > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > ___ > Lmuse-developer mailing list > Lmuse-developer@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lmuse-developer -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Lmuse-developer mailing list Lmuse-developer@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lmuse-developer

Is it just over-enthusiasm for MusE, or something else? So coincidentally, I contacted GitHub yesterday and requested that users be allowed to add labels, at the very least 'Bug' and 'Nice to have', ideally we choose which labels. Issues can be sorted by labels, if I understand correctly, and then actions performed on them. Currently /we/ must add the labels - not ideal. They got back to me soon and agreed it was a good idea and, no promises of course, would pass it on to the team. > I've enabled administrator activation just now. What does that mean? Working on New Drums here, if you're following. Stay tooned... Cheers.
