More and more spammers are infiltrating this forum.
But, I want to confirm, atleast on my side, the Quick reply bug seems fixed, and avatars are back
Any other confirmations from others regarding the same?

Forum Jump is back!! 
Hello Everyone!
Here we talk about things to improve upon in our forum. Remember, please suggest stuff in order of priority
Things i can think of right away:
1. Upgrade vBulletin.
2. Fix issues like attachments, AJAX etc.
3. Prune old posts.
4. Add Anti-Spam plugins/mods.
Keep the suggestions coming, ill keep updating this post with the high priority suggestions
Thanks
Spammers should reduce now, took me four hours but I found where the code was broken for recaptcha.
VB is latest version, old posts will NEVER be pruned again, because there's no need to... what's boring old news to you might be really helpful to others.
The quick reply / ajax bug seems to work now. Keep this thread updated with feedback.
Thanks to most of you for doing this the right way, and having the patience to wait for me to get a little free time and fix this. I'll try and keep an eye open for bugs more often.
Kalpik, you're in charge of emailing / calling me if there is something really major that breaks here. Thanks for the efforts you've taken for the community.
There was a thread similar to this one, by mrintech, who is banned now, because he just did not know how to use civilised language. Those who scream, shout, throw tantrums and act like babies, will be treated the same way. Such people are detrimental to what this forum is tryiing to achieve.
Please abide by the rules of this forum, and we will all have a lot of fun, and learn a lot. Don't treat other members, mods or admins like your servants, and call them <insert abuse here> ignorant, or you will get banned. So long as everyone gives each other the respect they expect from others, everything will run smoothly.
Oh, and perhaps a little history will help explain what happened here...
For the past few months, we were getting terrible service from our hosting provider, plus the dedicated server we were on was a little old. Towards the end of May, we shifted to our new server, and upgraded the forum. Then for some reason search engine traffic just dropped drastically. The older forum version was brought back for a week or so to ensure that it was not the cause of the traffic drop.
Once it was ruled out, the latest version was made live again. However, a small bug in SQL caused recaptcha to die, which caused spammers to have a field day here (posting porn, and all sorts of rubbish).
Simultaneously, we're working on a new thinkdigit version, we had the rather fat anniversary issue to bring out, and also have the ongoing anniversary carnival to attend to.
I certainly wish I had as much time on my hands as I did when I started this forum years ago, but sadly, I just do not. Although I will still continue to disappear from the forum fom time to time, I will be available on irc://irc.thinkdigit.com quite often, and mods and members alike are free to bug me in #digit.
For now, I've spent all mmy free time over the past week, trying to get things working, and I certainly hope things are a lot better now. I tackled the critical stuff first, so use the forum for a few days, and then let me know if there are any improvements required. PLEASE do not suggest a theme change, because it is not possible right now, but hopefully we will have one soon enough.
My sincere apologies for the delay!

I think Quick reply is disabled. I can't see quick reply box.
Also you have enabled captcha for old members also, and even for replying post. Please disable captcha for replying posts.... and new threads (for memebrs with more than 10 posts).
