Hi Alex!

I use your "my little forum" script on our school's website and I like it!

About SPAM... I'm using a certain mechanism in my own guestbook script which always forces you to a first preview before it would accept any entries. I've only implemented a static hidden field which is only sent together with the preview page so no automated script (aka "bot" ) can "know" it needs to be posted, too, before the sent data will be accepted.

This mechanism can be refined by using a session ID to check and change the input's name attribute so no bot can re-use a posted form to spam a guestbook/forum/form mailer etc. because it "knows" about this hidden input field (and the name in it)...

What do you think about this mechanism? Could it help solve your problem?
