May not last long, but I took the liberty of removing the spam links from the wiki front page... definitely need a way to protect the page (sadly)  |

NachtRitter - there was spam in there today? Paul's message was from a few weeks ago, and I think Ben or Tim already cleaned that up.

Ya, thought it was weird it was still there... but if you look at the history, you can see that someone hit it today (and I happened to look at it within 10 mins of the event)  |

Found more spam links from a single user on the wiki, looks to be the same user that was reversed before.
Someone needs to remove user "Apple" on the wiki, and check into the back end to see what IPs they were using, against known ones on a DNSBL (DNS Blacklist) like SORBS ( SORBS (Spam and Open-Relay Blocking System)) and nuke them and any other such spammers by a slow process of exclusion. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam
Digging around a bit further, there are other active spam accounts on the wiki... is there some way us lowly users can link up the accounts on a semi-private page, so that it's easier for the moderators on the wiki to follow up on changes?

The number one car on the hi mpg list has an astronomical mpg rating that its fuel log does not help explain: 2004 Ford Focus SVT Gas Mileage (SVT) - EcoModder.com In fact the fuel log is even more odd. ??

Fixed. Looks like he entered odometer reading in one fill rather than distance traveled.
(Which, unless you have a brand new car with very few miles on it, is going to skew the MPG pretty hilariously.)

I keep getting the error code 413 Request Entity Too Large when I attempt to upload images into my album. All the images that I'm trying to upload are less than 195 kb, and it should be automatically re-sizing the ones that are over 800x600 pixels.
I even attempted to upload one that is 170 kb and 731x600, and it still gives me an error code.

Has the maximum file size that you can upload been changed? I uploaded pictures that were under 1.95 megabytes before in my album, and now I can't even re-upload the same pictures that are already in my album. I've adjusted my pictures so that they should be able to upload (< 195.3 kilobytes and less than 800x600 pixels), but my pictures still won't upload. It seems like maybe something's been changed in the settings, and I can't upload any pictures into my album anymore. I would like to be able to post some pictures in one of my threads, but I can't do it. I might just try a third party site, but I would like to keep my pictures organized here on ecomodder.
