In the past 24 hours, this new version of PHPBB has delivered on the promise of more robust spam protection along with features yet to be discovered - both good

Perhaps Richard and I will be spared from pruning the dozens of daily registration attempts from spam-bots which is a mind-numbing activity. In the course of this housekeeping, I know we've erroneously deleted several registration attempts.
If you run into any problems with the board, please post a follow-up to this thread and we'll respond as quickly as possible.
Thanks,
Thom
