My stories keep getting commented with tons of porn links. I have modified my config.php file within the obug_setup directory and set the following options: // this lets you select which functions are available for registered users only $_CONF['loginrequired'] = 0; // all of them, if set to 1 will override all else $_CONF['submitloginrequired'] = 1; $_CONF['commentsloginrequired'] = 1; $_CONF['linksloginrequired'] = 1; $_CONF['pollsloginrequired'] = 0; $_CONF['calendarloginrequired'] = 1; $_CONF['statsloginrequired'] = 1; $_CONF['searchloginrequired'] = 0; $_CONF['profileloginrequired'] = 1; $_CONF['emailuserloginrequired'] = 1; $_CONF['emailstoryloginrequired'] = 1; I know this file is being read, because if I change this setting my site is disabled (as it should be): $_CONF['site_enabled'] = true; // true or false What is really weird is that with these settings in place, I can log out and try to comment on a story and I am unable to. So how are other people doing it? Are there any known bugs that allow people to get around these settings? Please help. I may have to take my site down if this continues because I can't spend 30 minutes/day deleting inappropriate comments! Oh yes ... i am using version 1.3.8-1 on RedHat 9.

Message-ID: <4208DEF4C0A61448BF41A5AE3A3FF788093B51CD@GEMINI.hsc.net.ou.edu> this may seem insanely easy, but the patch on the website says: This contains ONLY the fixed comment.php to upgrade Geeklog 1.3.8-1sr4 to 1.3.8-1sr5. If you're running an older version, please consider upgrading to Geeklog 1.3.9sr1 instead. When I click on the version test link on my admin screen I get this: 1.3.8-1 this doesn't give any sort of "sr" number. How can I tell if I have sr4?

Message-ID: <40C7AFCE.8030105@btiadmin.net> I'm using Forums on my Geeklog site, and the ability to post stories seems a bit redundant. I want users to be able to post articles, etc, into topics. But I don't want any stories to appear on the home page. Is there an easy way to hide these?

I wanted to adapt a theme for a specific purpose, so I followed the instructions in the Docs directory - I copied one of the existing theme directories to a new directory - this has same owner/group and permissions as the others. I can't see this new directory when I go to the preferences screen. I have tried shift-reload, and flushing cache (just in case) ... no diffrence. I have also tried changing the background color in the element of one of the existing entries to see what happens - nothing happens ... I even tried stopping/starting the webserver - no difference. I did notice that Doc instructions appear to be out of date/incorrect, because they say to use the url http://mygeeklogsite/users.php?mode=preferences and when I use this (replacing mygeeklogsite with my geeklog name, of course) I just get a login screen. So since the doc is out of date, I am guessing there is some undocumented trick I am missing ?

I was editing the themes in the base (/usr/local/...) not the copy in the webserver address space.
