A couple of months ago, there was quite an uproar in the VB-community, since Microsoft wanted to defunct VB6. Of course to have developers move to VB.NET. Now they present these developers with a free e-book that covers just that: the migration from VB6 to VB.NET. You can download the individual chapters here. There is no link (yet?) for a all-in-one download.
B2Evolution has an excellent anti-spam mechanism, but spammers are inventive. They change host and domainnames, like you and I change underwear (you do change that every day, don’t you?). On most days, they just leave me alone, but on other days, I sometimes have 50 or 60 spam-comments. So, without further ado, I added Captcha to commenting. If you are going to leave a comment, you will be presented a computer-generated image. The characters you see in the image should be entered in the field in front of it. If you don’t enter the code correctly, you cannot comment. Mind you: if you enter the code incorrectly, and you press “back”, you might have lost all that you’ve typed, so double-check before commenting.
The Captcha-B2evolution-integration was done by the Village-Idiot.
Now we still need a defense against the spam-trackbacks.
