Tell your mom too! v1.4.2 is on the brink

[blinking8s+]

An update for Pixelpost will be expected to launch late this weekend due to increasing issues with the ref spam junk annoying evil robot systems conspiring to ruin our lives as a whole.

We'll be sending out a newsletter to all forum users regarding the issue when everything is ready.

The update is HIGHLY recommended by the staff and hosting providers. It shouldn't be too big of a deal for most though. We'll make it as quick and painless as possible. Sadly, this is just part of the whole application life...*sigh*

Is it just a security / antispam update or have you added some new things? :P

It will be "Just" a security update to stop referrer-spam, but it will bring a new template and some minor corrections as well

Awesome-- I'm suffering for a bad case of referrer spam too. A quick way of fixing it for me has been to use phpmyadmin and run a couple of commands to delete the records of spammers that often pop up for me.
i.e.

DELETE FROM `pixelpost_visitors` WHERE `referer` like '%spammer.com%' LIMIT 10000;

Where spammer.com is the domain of the spammer. I ususally grab a ton of domains of hte spammers and then run it all at once.

Just thought it might help out some people who have a mysql database thats eating up space with referrer spam.

I can't wait to see this problem tackled as well as how you've accomplished tackling it.

Is the "Ping option" included in this release ?

you could download it and check and you would see: it's not

we need at least some nice things for the next version, which will be a real release update with new features or better functionality ..

so don't demand all our goodies now :| (and don't push us too fast to the next version, we need some relax for new creativity) :wink:
