Your friendly-- yet lazy-- site administrator here. After the site was bogged down by a ton of crazy spammers, I couldn't hold this off any longer. I updated to the latest version of Drupal and added a better captcha system. Hopefully this will work better.

In the process, we lost a lot of images. We're still in the process of recovering those. And there's still a lot of spam we need to take care of. Johann and I have both been working hard on trying to remove the spam and get the images back.

I also went through and deleted most of the spammy-looking accounts here. If you got deleted, no big deal, no one's blocked or anything. Just register again, it's all cool. Also, just an FYI, most of the accounts deleted were registered within the past six weeks. Also, if you had registered but never used your account, most of those were deleted also.

Now, there might still be some things that might not be working right. Let me know of the following things!
- Does the captcha system work alright? (does it bug you too much, too hard, etc)
- Any part of the site totally broken?
- Can you log into your account? (I deleted a lot because there were a ton of spammers)
- Do you have any of the old content that's missing? I can upload it to the original post, and you might be able to, also.

I've been told that some folks have seen problems with posting to the forum. I've been told that when posting a topic, it did not appear. Please tell me in the comments of this blog entry (if you can, that is), what problems you are having specifically in regards to this issue.

I've looked into this just a little bit, and I've disabled the feature that requires you to review your post before posting. Perhaps some folks were forgetting that they had just previewed their post, rather than actually posting. Likewise, there may have been a bug with the feature itself. I also rebuilt permissions, and hopefully these two things will help with this issue.

Again, let me know if there are any further issues, and if you can't post to this entry, just send your comment via the comments section of my user page.

Indications show that 0.4a will be coming any day now. Johann is working very hard on this next release, and Dentoid has a new feature in the wings to show us.

Included in this post is an indication of Anders' current progress in implementing an SVG import function.

There are still a few hurdles, however, what we have at the moment is extremely remarkable.

With any luck, we'll have SVG support in 0.4, however, we may have to wait for 0.5 for this.
