You know, I think what we could probably do is then obfuscate the one link in JS. 😉 Ditto the submit button, which I didn’t include here. @AnindyaRay: this is the anti-splog plug-in. http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/anti-splog One trick with that is that moving the signup there doesn’t yet work with BuddyPress, but…[Read more]

Just get a blank page… likely some sort of plug conflict, but now I get to go through and figure out where. 😉

Not sure how to get the discussion consolidated; that is, don’t know that a new group would get more going. (On my own site, I have email notification turned on; wish that were an option here — but will subscribe to RSS!)
