Comment on Who-Remembers-Me.com SPAM by Educated Rita

I have just started receiving WRM spam and I have a Tiscali address with the old lineone.net extension, so they are getting about a bit. I also use that address for personal business purposes only and have never given it to anyone else.

I set up a special yahoo email address a couple of years ago – it was for use only by my banks and share broker and nobody else in the world new about it

Within weeks, who remebers me were spamming me up regularly

They have either got access to yahoos data base or the banks – so it’s yahoo – they must have an insider

Does everyone else who is gettimg spammed by them have a yahoo address too ?

I complained to the advertising standards regulator a couple of years ago but I reckon they are a set of useless old buffers put out to grass by the army pay corps and don’t know where to start

Today the yahoo address used only by very close family was penetrated by who remembers me

None of my gmail addresses has been compromised

Comment on Lytebox with javascript Exif Data by Jason Ashdown

Thanks William but please read what I wrote. The link you gave does do exif data from a PHP file.

Mine uses pure JS to read the exif data and simultaneously displays it along side the image (check it out: http://www.jasonashdown.co.uk/lytebox_with_exif/)

Even now, I still haven’t seen anyone create a mod that does it the same way as mine. Surprising since I thought it would be a most desirable feature.

Comment on PHP Validation class for forms by Jason Ashdown

My god! Finally sorted through all that spam. I’ve turned Akimet on now to save me the hassle on future.

This class doesn’t deal with spam but is useful for validating input (as it says).

I have actually updated this class a few times now, I shall update this version on my website soon.

I have been looking at this script. My only problem is, that it looks like you should have used it on your site against these spammers.. :(

I’m having the same problem as Gunnar. Could this be an incompatibility problem with 1.7?

There had already been a lytebox with exif/data.

Comment on CL Auth gets updated to v0.2.5 by Gunnar

Hi I’m just getting familiar with CI and thought I would try CL Auth. I followed your instructions but when I access the example URI, it simply states “You have CL_Auth turned off.” Any suggestions are appreciated.
