      IIRC there was a stricter limit for new users. Once you had racked up a number of posts (perhaps 20?) then you could post every 30 seconds without limit.

      They tried several different settings on the Spam filter.

      What I cannot understand is, after spending 10 years designing and refining the code for the My Opera forums, why do you need to throw it all away and start again? It's a pointless duplication of effort, and only frustrates your users no end.

      We recently had this issue on the Serif forums. The had (and still have) a well-established and vibrant support forum

      http://forums.serif.com/showthread.php?t=138635

      They decided they needed something better, so they spent loads of time creating Community Plus:

      https://community.serif.com/forum

      I think that you will agree that it's a whole lot better than these new Opera Forums (though it still has some issues), but it is still in Beta, and the old forums are still open. When they get it properly fixed, and the old forums have outlived their usefulness, then they may archive the old forums, closing them to new members, but leaving the threads available because they contain a ton of useful information about older product versions, and general knowledge that applies to any version.

          That would certainly make sense. Another (more annoying) approach would be to require a CAPTCHA or some such for the first few posts, although these days I think computers might already be better at 'em than humans.

            You can use images manually

            How exactly?

            And you used a "hidden" link in another thread - again, how?

              Hi Josh, Markdown syntax for images:

              ![Caption text](/path/to/img.jpg)
              

              or

              ![Caption text](/path/to/img.jpg "Image title")
              

              and to make links:

              [The link text](http://example.net/)
              

              or

              [The link text](http://example.net/ "Link title")

                I am not even going to bother trying to learn that syntax. @username I can manage, or bold or italics but I am going to paste links as text:

                http://example.net/

                On the CommunityPlus forum https://community.serif.com/forum

                There are buttons for Bold and Italics, and for inserting Images from a URL or from disk.

                There are also buttons for code, hyperlinks, quotes, horizontal rules, bullet lists and numbered lists. Plus two more for undo/redo.

                These basics are essential. Most users are not geeks for whom writing in code is second nature. I am familiar with many forms of code, but it's a real problem remembering which to use on which forum.

                            O'k, I see you JUST NEED a caption, so it's obligatory to have a pair of brackets between "!" and the parentheses

                              Yep Pesala, I see your point, but unfortunately, as far as I know, this is what the users of this forum have for the time being.
                              Nevertheless, it's possible, that the Developers, will implement more user-friendly interface in the future, but here and now, it's new forum engine, fresh start, and it certainly needs some fixes, like for example "editing comment" bug, and many additional developments, and improvements.

                              These basics are essential.
                              I agree with you Pesala, perhaps in the near, or distant future, all of these functions, or at least part of them, will be implemented in the forum, it would be really nice.

                                    I'm "chatting" with Michael on his blog. The Fb folks haven't been spotted online yet.

                                        Well, technically it's the primary DNS server that's down. I'm not sure if this is really the proper place, but a mod can always delete this post if not. This is a cross-post:


                                        Okay, here's the story of what happened:

                                        The primary DNS server is apparently down:

                                        $ host -a thedndsanctuary.eu ns01.weservit.nl
                                        Trying "thedndsanctuary.eu"
                                        ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
                                        

                                        The secondary DNS server is fine:

                                        $ host -a thedndsanctuary.eu ns02.weservit.eu
                                        Trying "thedndsanctuary.eu"
                                        Using domain server:
                                        Name: ns02.weservit.eu
                                        [snip]
                                        

                                        But! Unfortunately there a typo snuck into the DNS record back when we set it up:

                                        $ host -t ns thedndsanctuary.eu
                                        thedndsanctuary.eu name server ns01.weservit.eu.
                                        thedndsanctuary.eu name server ns01.weservit.nl.
                                        

                                        It's fixed now:

                                        $ host -t ns thedndsanctuary.eu
                                        thedndsanctuary.eu name server ns01.weservit.nl.
                                        thedndsanctuary.eu name server ns02.weservit.eu.
                                        

                                        I apologize for any inconvenience.

                                            Works here. Mind you, he had a typo in the "It's fixed now ..." above.
