A ha so it was me not being 'with it'. I remember hearing that Google were starting something like this, but not the terminology. Ta.

Mercury RSS feed obviously changed with their site relaunch. Not getting through on right hand side of forum.
Thanks for pointing that out.
It looks like they've closed down thebluearmy.co.uk (which is where I got the RSS feed from) and redirected everything to the thisisleicestershire site instead. But instead of redirecting the RSS to the right place they've redirected it to a web page.
Should be working again now.
Both go to the same place, it doesn't take any more clicks.
Maybe you'll see the splash screen trying to sell Foxes Player the first time you use the address, but the same applies to lcfc.com.
I only changed it last month as part of the forum upgrade, I changed it from saying lcfc.com to lcfc.co.uk because they use lcfc.co.uk for the email addresses and that's also the address listed on the official football league website.
Internal links to lcfc.co.uk work without a redirect, for example http://www.lcfc.co.uk/page/LatestNews/0,,10274~2382813,00.html
That's because they haven't set up the correct A records on their DNS server.
That's because I have set up the correct A records.
What happens that makes you have to click?

I find this hard to believe. Now even if I put in lcfc.co.uk without the www. I get straight through to the site.
Does this mean that my copy of Chrome has 'learned'? Or has the OS had the correct A record (whatever that is, but please don't explain) set up on their DNS server in the past few minutes?

He moves his knees?
Chrome has learned.
The OS has not had the A records in place for as long as I can remember. It takes seconds to set up and doesn't cost anything so I don't know why so many sites don't do it.
That happens to me too.

I'm pleased to say that my knees are infinitely less painful and more mobile since I had the tumour removed last year.
I have replied to that thread. Nothing has changed.
When people try to register it checks their IP address and email address on a blacklist of known spammers. It's a newer version of something I had running on the previous version. I installed it earlier today.
It doesn't catch all spammers but it's one of several anti-spam tools I use. Most of the spammers that do manage to register (usually 2-3 a day) get banned without having a chance to post because they're fairly obvious. They're usually bots that are targeting hundreds or thousands of sites at the same time.
I'm thinking about automatically refusing all attempted registrations from certain countries (India, Russia, Brazil, Pakistan for example) because they're only ever spammers.
