Thanks. I've fixed it. It's hard to monitor the page. I check it from time to time, but a lot of clicking is required to determine who is the current author, then guess whether the page is ok. Bram is always right ... except when he's wrong, and this page should be on the wiki IMHO. The page on vim_dev should be fixed (only a manager can edit), and it should contain only a link to the page on the wiki. It took the spammers three weeks to notice that we are open for business, but now someone has noticed, I expect we'll see this more regularly. Any member of vim_dev can fix future problems. Procedure: http://groups.google.com/group/vim_dev - Under the "Pages" heading, click "Vim patches". - Scroll to the bottom of the page. - In the Version drop-down menu, select a previous version. - The page will re-open, showing the previous version. - If it looks good, scroll to the bottom again. - Click "Make this version the current version". Problem: I've done this a few times on the four Vim mailing lists. On one occasion, the result was a complete mess. The group that discusses Google Groups claims that there are various bugs in the GG software, and I'm pretty sure I happened to trigger one. It took half an hour futzing around to recover the page. Fortunately, vim_dev is now the only Vim mailing list with an open-door policy on editing web pages. Also, I have taken a copy of the current HTML source for this page as a backup. To get a hint of the industry behind the scammers, have a look at this page where you can buy a program to "create unlimited Gmail accounts in seconds" (you make an account and use it with another package to spam; then you are banned; repeat forever): http://www.jiffycreator.com/ John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
