Drupal 6.x

Our Drupal 6.26 site is being attacked from a bot – it’s adding new, fictitious user accounts every few minutes. Needless to say, it's adding a great load to our site, eventually it will bring it down. What may be done to prevent this from happening?

Hi Guys

Some time when you click multiple ajax buttons during file upload spinner you face the following messages

The specified file . could not be uploaded. Only files with the following extensions are allowed: mp4 ogg avi mov wmv flv ogv webm.

For security reasons, your upload has been renamed to ..

and these messages show some thing wrong with file but when you save content you does not face any issue. So you can prevent these messages by using this code with the help of module https://drupal.org/project/messages_alter (Drupal 7 module code is available in issues)

<?php
/**

Hello, I was told to make a new design for a client's website and as I finished she ordered me to update the Drupal. I am not used to Drupal, it's only my second client with this CMS. So I updated normally all the source but when I open the website I am having the following message:

I've spent quite a bit of time troubleshooting this, I hope someone can help and that it's something obvious! Also, I apologize if this question fits more into the "Views" module issues page.

I'm using Drupal Commons (Drupal 6.x). At the upper-right corner there is a "welcome back, [name]" area that contains a user picture. This is all contained in a view called "user_meta" (/admin/build/views/edit/user_meta).

Hello,

I'm been scratching my head trying to figure out how to do this. I want to have a section on a site with questions but don't want the person to see the answers until they click to see the answer. I don't want them to have to go to the node page to see the answer though. Just something like "click here for answer" they click on it and the answer is shown instead. Is that possible?
