I'm sorry but, blind as a bat when new posts come up. I no longer see the option to view new or recent posts.
I would have to go thru every post to spot the spamsters now.

You can use the three bars on the top left to go to new post. It works, but liked how it was more convenient before.
Thanks, didn't even know those bars had any function
Updown is correct, Sven
I posted about how members can access the many features (including seeing new threads) via the black bars a couple of weeks ago, but you may not have seen the thread. Here it is, on the second page:

I don't expect our members to be able to recognize when a user is legit versus non-legit, as it isn't their job, and it's sometimes not easy to spot. But in this instance it was so blatantly obvious that these guys were bullshit artists, I was surprised nobody detected even a whiff of funny business.
Along with the forum update, we now have an added feature to store, analyze & track i.p. addresses easier than before, so, if you guys see new members being banned after joining, it is because someone is a spammer, and the system will automatically get rid of the most obvious offenders.
After moderating on another forum for awhile you get an "eye" for what doesn't look right and a "nose" what smells spammy!
Just to add, I didn't see how to Report a post until I just quoted your post here. I see it is in the same drop down.
Great job on keeping this forum running smooth!

The "eye" and "nose" isn't always right, Ron, but as you know, if something smells like a pig, walks like a pig & talks like a pig, 99% of the time, it is a pig indeed, and needs to be dealt with swiftly.
