| - Reviewed (and rejected) several new accounts from spambots. To help reduce these types of registrations in the first place, I adjusted the following settings:
Restrict Registration = Yes; Allow Request Message = Yes Restricted Registration Message: Thank you for registering to NoVA Lotus!
To help show you are not a spambot, please answer these questions: 1. Who founded Lotus? 2. Colin Chapman says to add what?
| August 10, 2023
| - Thanks to a recent bout of spammers (three days in a row of similar spam from separate new accounts and new IP addresses), all new website registrations will be reviewed before being accepted.

| - Installed https cert onto novalotus.ksmdomain.net (ksm has admin rights to its back-end domain configuration).
- The above-mentioned https cert installation RESOLVED the Feb 18, 2020 ISSUE whereby novalotus.freeforums.net ceased loading photos from novalotus.ksmdomain.net.
- Installed https cert onto novalotus.club url for properly-secure redirection to novalotus.freeforums.net (ksm has admin rights to novalotus.club domain back-end configuration).
| February 18, 2020
| - Noticed novalotus.freeforums.net back-end had been updated to run https.

| Apr 11, 2016
| - Posted Apr/May 2016 newsletter to Home page. Included the HTML version again, which, like last time, I used PDF Online to create. Not crazy about the conversion. Minor resulting formatting problems here and there.
| Mar 31, 2016
| - Updated logo graphic in About page and in Welcome post.
- Updated favicon. Though, it needs help as it doesn't show up very well. (favicon is the icon that typically shows up within the tab at the top of the web browser for the web page you have opened).
- Dropped wording in About page that suggested that registering to the website will automatically add one to the mailing list. (Eventually, this will happen; but it's not true yet).

| Feb 28, 2016
| - Added Recent Threads/Posts section to Home page.
| Feb 26, 2016 | - Added HTML link next to the Newsletter that contains an HTML page converted into HTML from the newsletter PDF (used PDF Online). Format looks Ok on a standard computer monitor but does not reformat dynamically for smaller screens. Note that, because of the way this site handles internally-hosted images (displays as thumbnail only unless clicked upon), the HTML page itself is being hosted offsite. From an administrative aspect, this feature might prove inviable.
