Dear CalculiX users,

due to the recent massive spam attack I changed the setting such that new users have to be approved by an administrator. Further news on this after the 6th of January.

Best Greetings,

Guido

Dear Guido,

I’m glad you cleared the forum and protected it from further attacks. Initially, I was reporting the spam posts, but there were just way too many. I also reached out to Klaus Wittig.

Please let me know if you need any help regarding the forum, I visit it many times each day.

Regards,  
Jacob
