yes there is an easy ban mod i want to install
we are in the process of upgrading to a new version of the boards that fixes a lot of bugs and adds quite a few new features. im also slimming down the interface to be a bit more like the old one and hopefully easier to read as well.
im really not happy with these boards.. fucking shame all the boards out there are crap for basic features..

Thanks for letting us Mods know. It's usually easier to ban an IP address than just ban a username. What I did in the past on the older Highend site was if a person was spamming the site first ban the username but make note of the user's IP address. Then if they spammed a second time with the same IP address but differant username I would ban the IP address. The reason for doing this is that in most cases we have no idea if someone is just using a home computer or running their idiot spam from another user's computer who is not to blame.
As for the site design so far I like it a lot over the old one. It's far easier to use on a variety of browsers and various OS. For some reason the older version was difficult to read on some workstations running Windows XP with Firefox as the default browser while with Firefox on SUSE Linux and Red Hat Linux it was easy to read. Most likely to do with a browser rendering issue, graphics driver issue or even monitor settings at the time than a site related issue. Anyway, great work you've done so far. Have a great weekend.
Cheers.
