As some have already noticed, I've done an upgrade on the forum. It's a pretty big update, although visually it looks very similar. The main reason for the upgrade was the anti-spam stuff the new version includes, but hopefully it'll fix other old issues like the double email notifications. If anyone has any problems, please let me know and I'll take a look. Thanks.

The settings are either 100 views or 10 replies for a topic to get 'hot' status. I don't write the forum software although I can sometimes tweak it a bit, but generally if it's not an option available then it's not something I can do - and if I do change things, it's more and more work each upgrade as I then have to re-do any changes on the new version.

Moderators can then either ok it or delete it. It's worked well for spam so far, but a few genuine posts get caught occasionally. Maybe we need a few more mods?

I thought that was supposed to be fixed in this release, I will look into it,
