Re: Joomla, AddThis & the new Wibiya bar?
I have tried many bar options - all hosted by somebody else. Not good. Finally have dropped the idea.
For social media I use share42 - you download everything (two files) on your own site. Works well for me.

Re: DDoS attack on the board
Just for the record.
Survived another attack, but this time I have no suspects. In fact, several major Russian boards, including a couple discussing guns, have gone down because of such attacks and remain inaccessible for several days.
Mine was inaccessible only one day.

Re: Are you Crazy About Movies?
Apocalypto is nice. Agree on that one. I liked the Black Swan too - I like movies with a twist.

Re: Are you Crazy About Movies?
I watch a movie once a month. The latest one was "The Artist", a silent one (almost). Excellent!

Re: DDoS attack on the board
For now, I've allowed access to the board only from specific countries (from where members are or which they visit for vacations/work). More or less. But because the server is located in the US, I have to allow access from there as well, and many malicious users use US proxy or Tor IPs.

Re: DDoS attack on the board
Many thanks, guys. Checking your suggestions.
The board is for a few countries, but people check it when traveling in other countries, so I don't know how to go about it.

Re: DDoS attack on the board
Yet, my question is: do you know of any easy ways to mitigate such attacks?
Will it help, for instance, to re-direct the page at which the attack is targeted to some non-existent site?

DDoS attack on the board
Hi guys, on March 12-13 a DDoS attack was carried out against my board, specifically aiming at /forum/index.php The board is located on a dedicated server so the attack didn't affect other users' websites. Is there something that can be done to mitigate such attacks? What are the dangers connected w...

Re: Share thoughts about collapsing mChat - is this good or
I did that just by following the same procedure as for other elements. You can do without adding <div class="forumlist"> and </div>. On the subject, I made the mChat collapsible as well (couldn't stand a different section on the board without that -- button), but sure enough, fewer chats n...

Not always relevant. Sometimes funny. Depends on how well your users formulate topic subjects.

Re: What Host do you prefer, recommend or use?
JaguarPC on my big board, and Hostgator for smaller sites. Never had issues with either. Technical problems do happen, but they are resolved fairly quickly and positively.
