Ok I updated mediawiki to 1.19 so that the ConfirmUser extension wold work. All accounts must be approved by a sysop before they are active. Hopefully I can just reject the obvious spam accounts. There was some 1500 accounts on the system most of them with no edit's so I just deleted those. There is a bunch of spam accounts with 1 or 2 posts these should be deleted with the mergeuser extension but that is a bit more time consuming. Please let me know if the upgrade has caused any problems. -Russell _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
