no kitz is only going to block hotmail I think, however there is definitely sites that block gmail and yahoo also and they not dead.
But in this case I think just blocking hotmail is adequate.
I'm not quite sure yet how I am going to handle it. It won't just be hotmail it will also include outlook and live as they all use the same system.
I can't just do a block or the side effect would be the likes of michty and skyeci would end up banned and it requires something more customised.
As mentioned above there is an SMF mod, but it's been unsupported for quite a while and doesnt work with later versions of SMF2. Someone has tried to do an update which requires a manual amendment but that also fails.
The core code has changed quite a bit and the 'find' & 'replace' wont work as there is something more major going on with some else/ifs in the core code.
I will have attempt some code, but will also be asking for help on the SMF forums before I apply because touching core code is something I don't like doing.
I have other priorities going on too atm. Some of you know that my hand has got a lot worse and typing becomes more and more difficult... as well as struggling with FM. I am due to go in for an op very soon to try regain control of my fingers, but nerve transposition recovery is slow (12-18m) and I will be in a full arm cast for a few weeks so no time scale right now.
