Unfortunately spammers register "throw away" OpenID accounts.

I like the idea of preventing URL conversion, at least until moderator review. But I suspect spammers would still post plain text links judging from my wiki and Trac systems. My "more complex" solution would be a category of post/comment that was only visible to the poster and moderators (or members with high karma) if it matched a regex blacklist, until explicitly made globally visible.

I visited my installation and deleted 3 spammy posts. I then noticed that someone had flagged one of them and it is appearing behind the exclamation/warning icon in the header. It is showing me one of the messages that I have already deleted and selecting the message and clicking the "delete post" button does nothing. How do I dismiss the flagged notice?

Yes, less clutter is good.

On the Data entry and display rules page if I set the Minimum length of question body (number of characters) to 0, my installation still does not accept a question without a "body" (displaying an error message that the body must be >10 chars which appears to be the default).

If the question completely (and concisely) fits in the title field, it should be possible to make the description field optional to avoid adding clutter/duplication.

The askbot/skins/default/templates/faq_static.html file contains:

{% trans %}Please <a href='%(ask_question_url)s'>ask</a> your question, help make our community better!{% endtrans %}

which is rendered with a link of: http://askbot.example.com/faq/%(ask_question_url)s. I suspect it should be href="{{ ask_question_url }}" but I am not certain if that will work with the translation mechanism.

Thanks. I have similar settings, and as I said, they seem to work fine for the cron triggered jobs, but no immediate mail is sent.

Some users have selected immediate notifications, but none are sent through the SERVER_EMAIL configured in settings.py. In addition to subscribing, what additional configuration is necessary to send immediate notifications with 0.7.42?

The cron job is successful in sending daily updates... but no one is receiving "immediate" updates. What is required to enable them?

After unsetting the force lower case tags setting, running python manage.py fix_question_tags appears to change many of my existing tags to lower case, but then results in a traceback:

When looking at a user's karma change log, the hover text says "points added for" even in cases where it should be "points subtracted for" or "points removed for."
