Weekly update — 4 April 2025

I'm currently traveling so don't have anything major to report this week, but wanted to check in. I am posting this from my phone in the car (don't worry, I'm not driving) and I'm not great at typing from my phone so will keep it short. 🙂 Progress continues on the ProcessWire admin design and the website, and I can't wait till we can share it with you. We may soon get another master/main version merged from the dev branch, as there have been a few updates in the last several weeks that I think our stable version would benefit from, and a few more to come as well. More soon! Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Something else I wanted to mention is that for the last couple months, I've been manually verifying new accounts in the forums because we were just getting way too many spam signups. So now I'm manually researching every signup before they can post here. If an email address or IP shows up on any stopforumspam lists, or even just looks spammy, I don't approve it. Only about 1 out of 10 signups ends up with an approved account, as I'm pretty sure the rest are spam. If you sign up for a forum account here, ideally use an email address that is connected with a real company or organization, rather than a name followed by a bunch of random numbers @ gmail.com. Or, if you arent sure, you can always drop me a note on the contact form just letting me know you are a real person here for PW or webdev, and then I can approve the account right away.  As soon as the spam signups slow down (hopefully they will!) I'll turn the automatic approval back on. We're also going to update the IP.Board version soon and that may help as well.
