Hi Chipp, thanks for letting us know. We're having some issues with American Express cards, which we're solving right now. It does involve a certain amount of paperwork, so it may take a bit to get it resolved. I'm glad you found a workaround!

You do realize you can block things from search engines without preventing actual humans from browsing them?

So what exactly has been “resolved” here? I don’t see any actual answers to my questions: why shouldn’t the parent directory be browsable, given that a whole bunch of subdirectories already are? Is this material worth keeping online, or isn’t it?

You do realize you can block things from search engines without preventing actual humans from browsing them?

Can you list all files that are in this directory?

Can you list all files that are in this directory?

This area has been off limits for a long time by the previous administration:

What exactly is here? Definitely it should not be locked. @Dan McGrath (dmcgrath) can you change the permissions here?

BTW, I was able to sign up with PayPal :-).

Thanks for deleting the pages Brecht. I took some actions on the offending account. Will investigate this further.

Thanks. I did refresh a few times (and checked on brand new browser) and they hadn't disappeared by 7 minutes ago, but they have now!

Just refreshing the page should work. The account was now deleted and there do not appear to be any other changes that were made.

Thanks. I notice that has removed them from the RSS feed at https://www.blender.org/feed/ (although they may previously have been sent to RSS subscribers, which is how I first noticed them). Still appearing in the index at https://www.blender.org/news/ too, even if each link 404s. I don't know if that will clear itself up automatically?

@Francesco Siddi (fsiddi), @venomgfx, I moved the spam news items to the trash now, but I don't have the permissions to reset the offending account and verify what else it might have changed.

Can confirm, @Francesco Siddi (fsiddi) , @venomgfx, mind having a look?

Probably bad form for the reporter (especially a brand new one like me) to change the priority, but I thought this important enough to do so. I haven't read any of the news posts, but there's a possibility they lead to malware or phishing sites themselves.

Moved https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Contact/IRC and updated the webpage.

https://www.blendernetwork.org/ main page mentions

@venomgfx I believe you can take care of that? Thanks.

Actually, there is a lot broken links.

Woops sorry… did not saw it was already claimed :)

@venomgfx guess you can do something here! :)

Hi Nomis,

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry for the harsh words, but from a users point this sounds like the little brother of "yeah, we have some viruses in our product-installer, just install an additional anti-virus tool".
Maybe there are some statistics-tools available that you can install locally on the blender-servers?

The Blender ID policy is different from the blender.org website policy. Could you please clarify to which privacy policy you are referring to?

Another one for you probably @venomgfx ?

@venomgfx @Francesco Siddi (fsiddi) I guess that’s for you guys?

Hello?

Add a separate Contact-Page with all the information grouped in those nice rectangles like on https://www.blender.org/support/:

• Foundation
• Store
• Institute/Studio
• Website-Bugreports (mention the correct tag for website reports)
• Blender-Bugreports (would be nice to have it here too)

Anybody there?

Looks like this for me:

Sorry had ABP on...
