For your first question, the "Forum" page (see link at the top of any page) lists 1. permanent or "sticky" threads, 2. latest discussion threads, and 3. latest news threads. The only threads not listed here are old and inactive, and they can be found in the archives. There is an archive for discussion threads, and another one for news threads. Both links can be found on that forum page.
As for email notification, there is nothing like that. However, as a logged-in user you can see how many new/unread posts are in any thread that you've already visited at least once. Obviously this doesn't work as well when you area new user who hasn't read most of the threads, but once you get settled in, it should be possible to tell what's new and what you've already looked at.

Thanks for the info!
I take it you reply to ongoing threads instead of being able to create brand new ones in a permanent thread?
Right...

Try to use threads that already exist if they are appropriate to your post. General Abuse is a good catch-all for random things that don't fit any topic.
You're allowed to create a new discussion thread, but you should only do it for a topic that you expect will have many responses, rather than for a question that only needs one answer.

How about making the creation of new Discussion Threads work the same way as the News Threads?
So newbies would not create useless new threads.

did you preview it? It seems to work fine if you don't preview it. If you do, then yeah, it erases that part of the message.

^^ Do you think they're creating accounts automatically or are they going to the trouble of doing it by hand? Might be something to look into

i was just looking at those dummy accounts recently. It seems like they're created automatically, but the bots suprisingly did a good job of putting the email, the URL, and the password in the right place. Maybe the bot reads the names of the form fields.
Note:

i added a new layer to spambot protection. It compares the IP address of a post with an IP address in the original form, which would match only if you actually got served the form at the same IP, which may not be true for spambots.
Hmmm...

Been getting an "ERROR: Error message number 42" in nice flashy red when trying to post this morning, worked after 2 more tries though.

#973 posted by metlslime on 2006/12/07 02:14:33
hmm, might be becuase you had a cached version of the page you were posting to? That error should only occur if you try to submit from a different IP than the IP that you requested the thread from... which should never happen unless you're a bot, or if you had the page cached from a previous session maybe....
anyway, let me know if the problem ever comes back.

Dear god (metlslime), please ignore that request. Func is so great because it is reduced to pure functionality of a forumboard. Everyone is easily contactable via the profile (or with a post in GA).
privet messages would be funny though. :P

Ah, right, well no actually, I dunno how it's done, but my IP seems to jump around every minute or so while I'm at work, guess I'm a bot. =)
Got it again 4 times when posting this, hehe.
