Dillema about skin background color

So I worked a bit on the forum theme last night, the hardest part being figuring out how to center the logo (something unusual on a SMF forum) and the theme is far from finished. However, I was unsure about what background color to choose around the site. Currently it's dark turquoise or something, but would people prefer something different and what? What I know, though, is that using the same green as the inner logo green looked ugly, though, and a gray-ish green looks more like an hospital su...

No we don't have that many guests online

Since the last few months, there have been either an influx of bots crawling the forums, a small number of bots changing their IP address every three second while crawling CW or both. This resulted into ridiculously high numbers showing up in the online users section. To reflect our real population, a new category of user has been created¨: Other bots, which now includes the aforementioned bots. We normally average around 30 real users online within a 30 minute span. Online: 260 Guests, 1 ...

Temporary shoutbox installed

Because the IRC bot that acts as a Discord<>IRC bridge has been banned from the entire EFNet network, the site shoutbox no longer works properly. Until the bot can connect again on EFNet, we have installed TitanEmbeds. It's unknown if it will work for everyone, but for now it's better than no shoutbox at all I guess.

Killing HTTP support on CodeWalrus (site would become HTTPS-only)

So in order to increase security on CW, disabling access via HTTP is being considered. However, many of our users are forced (either due to financial difficulties or restrictive parents) to use old computers or phones that cannot be upgraded to browsers with better SSL and certificate support, and we want the site to be reachable for all our users. So we wanted to ensure that the site was fully functional on old Android versions, such as Android 2.2.2. It appears that the site, despite a certifi...

This happens when I am logged in for a long time, I'm guessing that this an issue with SMF.I also can't vote on polls (only tried one so it might be isolated to that poll).As an added issue. Gmail has started calling the forum updates spam.
