    I update Cross Road template http://www.emillie.net/blog/ working on 3.1 (if you are looking for a quality free template)
    It's a simple change on templates from 3.06 to 3.1 can be done in 15 minutes

    I use my spammer :D
    He submits and makes my site look like it gets 20 submittions daily. :rolleyes:
    I thought he was a muslim cause he wasnt spamming the adult sites?
    Maybe hes a family friendly spammer? lol

    As for phpld whether you use 3.06 or 2.0 if they want to spam they will....

    thx

    There is a thread about it on PHPLD forum, but I think is only for the paid supporters.
    If you have problems PM I will help you.

    If you download the template should have a dir that says 3.1 and holds the modified .tpl pages, so you can take a look at it.

    Yes check paypal first, thats it........ and take care of those that paid, and if they arent thier then give them 24 hours or send them a message or in your rejection notice make sure you point out the reasons.. NON PAYMENT....

    That's what happen to me last week except it was hard to delete because it truncated my admin area. Made my free directory paid just because of that.

    Makes no sense. It not only targets directories but anything that it could, it loves guestbook. Search for the IP and you will find tons of infos on it. Only one directory was affected though and has not been back.

    Easy. Simply press submit and the page takes you to paypal, but don't pay in hoping the admin would approve the link. Just delete it and as malcolm1 suggested, check your paypal email.

    Can some of you guys go here and submit those spammed submissions into my directory

    http://www.zmoz.com/submit.php

    I took a few minutes tonight to write a little something very very small, but can be worked on and expended covering a hell of alot more, if this goes well.
