How did you guys implement the "no links until 15 posts" feature? Is it an open-source plugin that I could download from somewhere, or was it custom coded? I'm having a big problem with spam on another forum I administer and I need to implement something similar.

I just noticed the following in ZapperZ's journal: Would someone please make sure to backup Zz's journal? There is a lot of good information there and I would rather not see it lost.

Aristotle's science was mostly rubbish, but his writings on ethics, politics, and poetics were, and are, brilliant. I'm afraid a lot of people hear examples of his bad science and dismiss him without recognizing the value of his purely philosophical works. I would make a comparison between...

Uh oh, I think somebody watched that movie one too many times ... :rolleyes:

Hey, yeah! It's been a while since I checked that forum but I'm glad to see someone finally met the requirements and got a discussion going. We are definitely on our way to proving that IR is a viable concept. Now, if only we could convince Zanket to post his theory.

Really? Can we see some photos? :-p I, too, have a $500 bicycle that is collecting dust. I want to ride it, but I live in a tiny development that is sandwiched between two major highways. There is no place to ride around here, and my car is too small to get a bike inside. Hopefully,by next...

Townsend, I was wrong to suggest that you had been "had". When I first saw that video, the comments were so ridiculous that I assumed it must have been a comedy sketch, like the ones on SNL when they make fun of something by exaggerating it to the point of absurdity. The presence of Chris...

Where the heck did that come from? And what was Mike Myers doing there? I think you've been had, that looked like a comedy sketch to me.

Carl, It sounds like your needs are outside the boundaries of what PF is willing to support at this time. Why don't you set up a discussion site of your own? Then you can tailor it exactly to your specifications. I believe most of your requirements could be supported with a MediaWiki...

I actually think that many textbooks get worse, not better, with each revision. I recently got a good used copy of Halliday and Resnick, Third Edition (1988) for five dollars, and I like it much better than the modern editions, which sell for upward of one hundred dollars and are bloated with...

Have you looked at the Independent Research forum? That might be a good place to post a draft of your paper and get some feedback. https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=146

Interesting website you have there! But, is there an About page somewhere that tells a little about yourself and your background? I generally like to know something about an author before I spend a lot of time reading his or her articles.

"Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell" by George F. Simmons. I own a copy and it's great: everything you need to know about geometry, algebra, and trigonometry in 120 concise pages.

Apparently the "Unanswered Threads" link is a vBulletin hack, I found some info here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=63008 According to the link: "it is set up for Admins, Super Mods and Mods to see the link. But you can add whatever usergroups you want to see it very...

I'm using IE6 ... yeah I know, not my choice, I am required to use it on this computer. Still, a simple HTML link should not be dependent on the browser?
