Subject: [etoys-dev] Still see old project version 40 after uploading
I uploaded version .007 of "Area Geo Boards1" then afterwards uploaded version .010. When I logged into the website I still saw version .007. Checked and the server had version .010 (could enter the URL and see it) but the page that project page
http://www.squeakland.org/showcase/project.jsp?id=7673 still had the link to .007, I checked 40 minutes after I had uploaded .010.
Kids will get frustrated when they upload their project and want to see it right away.

Posted to "Etoys Development" forum and got "rejected" ;(
Seems the spammers have settled down, so I've re-established the sync. For history, here's an excerpt from an October 18th email:
---
I've disconnected the automatic forwarding of forum posts to the the mailing lists, which will solve the problem for the current majority of our community that uses mailing lists (at least until the human spammers discover them as well.) This doesn't solve the other problem though, which is spam on the forums, which is unfortunately because most new users and children are likely to read the forums first, not the mailing lists.
This means I need your help. Please volunteer to become a moderator on the forums, so you can help me weed out the spam there.
Yes, we'll be attempting new technical solutions, such as blocking the most troublesome human spammer websites. But as with all spam, this is a game of tug-a-war between the spammers and the rest of us. There will always be spam we do not catch automatically, which means we will always need help deleting it before someone gets the wrong idea about Squeakland.
For a history of this issue, search for "forum spam" in forum search. It had gotten better for a while, now it's worse again.
