Hello all,

We've recently updated http://ask.sagemath.org to the newest version
of askbot and installed some additional tools to help with spam. New
users should be able to register and post questions, but they will
have to complete a reCAPTCHA until they reach karma 10.

Let me know if you have any issues with the new site.

Hi,

Thanks for the work! It is cool to have it back!

- Do the e-mailing feature now work?
- Who are admins (i.e. have access to the admin interface of django)?
Is it possible to become one to do maintainance (i.e. merge the
keywords, find possible duplicates, etc)?
- What happend to the VM that Niles was opening at his university?

Best,
Vincent

By the way, could we remove the captcha for users with 100+ karma?

The admin page setting already has that it should be removed for users
with 10+ karma, as far as I can tell:

Become approved Approved users bypass moderation and skip recaptcha
Default value: 10

I guess the turn-captcha-off functionality is broken, because I just
got very frustrated trying to answer a captcha (which took me several
tries) and I have way more than 10 karma, and am an admin.

Too bad. Can I have access to the machine where it is installed? I
would like to debug it as it is *very* annoying!

FWIW, in my experience, using CentOS and Firefox, captchas fail to work around
99.9% of the time. Even when the captcha is readable and I type it in
correctly, it still fails and goes into an infinite loop with a new captcha
every time.

I don't do business with sites that require captchas. Guess that means I'll
never have karma ;-)

Mike has already fixed the above issue...

And admin will add karma for you. Are you this user:

Don't think so. So far I've only subscribed to sage-support.
