private messaging - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.
-- Amateur Radio
-- Anecdotes, Gripes & Humor
-- Antennas
-- CAE, CAD, & Software
-- Circuits & Components
-- Employment & Interviews
 -- Miscellany
-- Swap Shop
-- Systems
-- Test & Measurement
-- Webmaster

Hi Kirt,

Could you please enable private messaging on the forum? The spambots seem to be gone now, and I'd rather not commit the internet-crime of reviving old posts in thanking people. :)

Kind regards,
Charl

Greetings Charl:

OK, you convinced me. Private messaging has been enabled on a trial basis. Since the vast majority of the spam postings have been stopped with the addition of the math question during registration, maybe it is safe to try now.

To begin with, the mailbox size is set to 25 messages of storage as a safety measure to prevent the possibility of overwhelming the forum database with e-mail flooding. If all goes well, I'll increase the settings.

If you or anyone else hits a limits on your mailbox, please let me know.

Thanks for the suggestion :smt023
