Homebuild Gallery Update

Tuesday 18th January 2011 12:59 PM

As users of Homebuild gallery pages may have noticed, we've implemented a few improvements.

Overall the pages should be more responsive as we've made the code base more efficient.

We have also added more spam filtering to the comments. Now, as wel as the CAPTCHA validation word, you can set a spam filtering strength to check for words commonly used in spam and a maximum number of links. Spam comments often contain many links so by rejecting any with too many, you can weed out the fake comments from the real ones.

Finally, we've cleaned up the interface. It should now mesh better with your site, and it contains several widgets to give a more modern, interactive experience (try adding a comment on a catalogue-style gallery...).

We hope you find the improvements useful and, as always, if you have any suggestions, please get in touch.
