It would be great if you could, ideally as a patch against the latest
versions from the CVS if possible but otherwise however is easiest to
do.  It is also helpful if you have any changes to the README for any
new configuration.  Alternatively if you want to contribute your code
and you have a sourceforge ID we can add you as a developer and you can
stick the stuff into the CVS yourself!

Thanks!

Done. I've made an extra config setting for extra_strict - this was because=
 my=20
settings are a little draconian for some forum sites and although useful, i=
t=20
may be too much for some. I've also reversed the sort on by_num so that the=
=20
most recent messages are at the top. By staying vigilant with your forum,=20
by_num makes it easy to spot messages that try and hide by being follow-ups=
=20
to old messages way down the normal remove list.

@bannedwords is not part of the $extra_strict config and does have a few wo=
rds=20
preset. It's at the bottom of the config section. This is active by default=
=20
with my update.

Other minor changes to improve W3C validity of the output of wwwadmin (can'=
t=20
do much with wwwboard, the <ul> handling is a problem) and to increase the=

accessibility of the admin output - it's not good to have radio buttons wit=
h=20
no OFF switch - by default some browsers check the first radio button or=20
refuse to submit the form if some radio buttons in the group are not checke=
d.=20
So I've added a None column.

There are changes to wwwadmin and wwwboard perl scripts, as well as the two=
=20
README files.

The output is as www.codehelp.co.uk but I have changed the name of the=20
wwwadmin script.

I've updated the README with details of extra_strict and the ADMIN_README t=
o=20
enhance the description of the remove_by_num section - this underrated=20
function is the principle weapon in the move against spurious messages, as=
