beckysioux, could you tell me which moderation features specifically you think would be useful for you yourself to control spam. also is the spam limited, or is it really a flood?
Thanks beckysioux! this is very helpful. I don't think you overstepped any bounds. I'm going to be doing some maintenance on the site over the next while, and I will figure out how to respond to this and get back to you.

@beckysioux -- i hear there is a spam problem. can you give me a description of the problem. where it's showing up, and anything else that seems relevant?
thanks!
Another update: I just added a new plugin that provides some sort of private messaging. I'm not sure if it's what you had in mind, but check it out. There's a new button up top, with a letter icon. That's the new thing...

Everyone else, re the math problem, I'm glad it seems to be fixed. If it continues, let me kn…
@darbie_starpower ok so maybe it's a matter of adapting to the new technique vv new messages. i'm gonna post your comment on the forum of the people who maintain this software and perhaps i can figure out how to retrieve the old functionality. is …
Hi all, I'm sorry this "upgrade" seems to have made things worse! Also sorry for the delay in addressing some of the troubles. I've just changed the editor so you should now have options back. Does this meet your needs?
@BeckiWitte and @darbie_s…
@beckysioux Hmmm it sounds like you're not too jazzed about the new version? I see what you mean about the missing options in the new post editor. That is a strange thing for them to have stripped out indeed. I'll look into this. The font is the…
ok the upgrade is done. seems that it's going ok. @becksioux if you could let people in the forum know to post here if they have question/comments/troubles that would be great. and let me know if your vid embed problem was resolved. if not, i'l…
@becksioux i'm performing the upgrade now... let's see if that resolves the posting issue. the upgrade itself is pretty instantaneous once i perform it so that's not the cause of the issue... more later.

Hi All,
So there is a new version of the forum software out and I'm hoping to make the upgrade this weekend. I wanted to give you all the heads up!
