New registration process for AAJUG.org
August 18, 2010 in News
REGISTER NOW – I’ve just installed “SI CAPTCHA” Anti-Spam – WordPress Plugin by Mike Challis. It adds CAPTCHA anti-spam methods to WordPress on the comment form, registration form, login, or all. In order to post comments or regiser, users will have to type in the phrase shown on the image.
I deleted a bunch of “users” with names and or email addresses that did not seem real. Anybody can now register for the site and this plugin will help protect us from the bots that have been registering.
I am going to post info about this to our Yahoo user group and encourage people to join here. We’ve recently had some new job posts and I’m hoping we can get more people using this site.
Future plans include adding social networking capabilities to the site for our members.

Am I automatically a member if I was a member of the Yahoo site?
Are you abandoning the Yahoo site? (otherwise activity will be split into two overlapping groups)
Will we still get email notification of activity?

We will keep the Yahoo Group going at first, but direct traffic here. We will also be adding any Yahoo Group member to this site. We'll also publish instructions about how to get notifications. Once it seems that people have migrated, we will close down the Yahoo group.
