So, I take it these are the only changes from 2.0.17.8 to 2.0.17.9?:

There's a free plugin for WordPress (written by people who actually helped make WordPress) that fights spam in a very clever way:

The whole idea is that spam bots don't take cookies. So you…
I have big doubts that spam bots do not accept cookies.
Uh, ok. Don't believe it. The plugin's author, Donncha, is only one of the leading WordPress developers — who works for Automattic (the creators of WordPress). And the other author, Automattic,…

This has been confirmed. reCaptcha was recently cracked.

Stopforumspam.com seems to have some resources for creating new plugins. Vanilla is missing from their list of forums:

It can be done. I was able to do it in a very hacky way, by simply editing the $this->CanonicalUrl in these core files:
applications/vanilla/controllers/class.categoriescontroller.php
applications/vanilla/controllers/class.discussionscontroller.…
But, even when it's enabled, it's still "Hidden". And you should be able to disable and enable it on the fly whenever you want to. Removing 'Hidden' => TRUE solves everything.
HtmLawed is hidden on a brand new install of Vanilla. It seems to be due to a parameter in the plugin's PluginInfo:
$PluginInfo['HtmLawed'] = array(
'Description' => 'Adapts HtmLawed to work with Vanilla.',
'Version' => '1.0',
'Requi…
I don't understand why VanillaForums.org is different from some other installations. That puzzles me.
Other people have seen this issue, but it's never been addressed. Take a look at the following closed issue and look at the comment halfway down f…
As far as notification emails not being sent, is anyone else having this specific issue?
https://github.com/vanillaforums/Garden/issues/issue/630/
Please test and confirm. I think it's all related. Hopefully we can all get to the bottom of this. …
@ellieroepken, do you mind posting the fix for email notifications? I think everybody is having the same problems. Would be great to get a fix for that.
Yes... "wp-admin/profile.php" is actually the path to every user's Profile page — whether they are admin or non-admin users. Non-admin users simply see a Dashboard nav with only one useful page in it — just their profile page. It's pretty ugly and p…
I've been testing this fairly thoroughly over the past six hours and I'm certain that the Notification system is buggy.
Here's what I noticed:
If you send someone a brand new private message, out of the blue, they don't get a notification -- even …
It needs to be wp-admin/profile.php because /wp-admin/ is really just the admin dashboard and some WP designs hide the admin navbar from subscribers.
wp-admin/profile.php will always work.
It was pure stupidity. I admit it. I was sure that I had cURL installed already on that server. Never took the time to confirm it. Unfortunately, I won't be the last to make that mistake.
btw @Tim, Here's what simplepie's compatibility test page l…
SimplePie includes a simple "SimplePie Compatibility Test" script in their download package that you can use to test your server setup

Would save many people a lot of time and confusion if Vanilla had t…
Thanks Tim. That was helpful. If you see my previous comment (from Oct 5th), I was able to figure it out. It turns out my server wasn't configured properly. I'm sorry for the confusion and for wasting everyone's time.
Due to my experience, I've sug…
I figured it out. My server was missing some modules. For those having similar issues described above, you'll need to double-check your server configuration against the Official Requirements for Vanilla.
Just a little request, but it would save a l…
I'm not sharing cookies across different domains. (I'm pretty sure that's not even allowed by HTTP). I was merely replicating the same bug on two separate, and completely independent, domains (i.e. two separate clean installs of Vanilla and WordPres…
Regarding ProxyConnectAutoconfigure, I've done fresh installs of WordPress 3.0.1 and WordPress 3.0 with Vanilla 2.0.10 and ProxyConnect 1.8 on a completely different domain (same server) and I still can't get WordPress to Autoconfigure with ProxyCon…
I'm stuck.. and my problem sounds a bit like Rio's issue.
I have a WordPress 3.0.1 installation and I've created a brand new install of Vanilla 2.0.10 and installed ProxyConnect 1.8 with Manual configuration (since the WordPress auto config still g…
Heh... 1.8 says it requires 2.0.7. You could see how confusing that might be for someone else who might download Vanilla for the first time to test it out!
