This version of the forum software has a number of new features. Among them it includes protection from spam posted by “Bots” (automated or “robot” programs that scan the Internet looking for forums and when found deposit their spam as a post) and the ability to register as a user.

We have been getting spam posts by someone selling fake (and supposedly real) documents of all sorts: fake passports, driver’s licenses, visas, social security cards, birth certificates, and even counterfeit currency. Looks like the Dark Net is coming out into the light. We are also getting spam posts for other illegal items like prescription drugs they are selling without a prescription et

You can setup a “signature” that the forum software will automatically add to the end of each post you make. It isn’t actually your signature it is just one or more lines of information you would like automatically added to the bottom of all of your posts. For example: Best wishes, John Doe Chief Historian - British Submarine Association My signature at the bottom of this post is:

Dear Scott, It didn't come from me either nor anyone else related to this site. Now that scumbags have learned how to spoof e-mails all they need is a list of e-mail addresses & they can mix & match to their hearts content. There are probably e-mails out there that appear to be from you that aren’t as well. Thanks for the heads up though. Anyone else getting these e-mail

56.0134°n , 3.6231°w, Your post did belong in the Technology & Operations forum & I have moved it there as that is where someone looking for the answer to that question would probably look first. However a lot of forum visitors start with the General Discussions forum and that is probably why your post here was answered first.

Dear jonnieola, There is currently no way to add attachments on this forum. See the thread entitled “How to include photos in your posts” above for information on including photos or scans. Basically right now you can only add a link to photos that are already on the net. Imbedding photos in posts is currently under consideration but we don’t support that at this time.

See the Forum Rules at: for what is and isn't allowed. Basically this is a history forum and "what if" questions are forbidden. The reason is that the answers are by definition speculation and as everybody has an opinion (informed or not) speculation just leads to arguments. That said a question like who would take over if the commander was killed isn't the kind of &qu

Difficulty entering the Spam Code Some of us occasionally have a problem entering the Spam Code (CAPTCHA) during the process of making a post. In fact we had a rash of this awhile back and thought we were having a software problem.

Dear Jan, You are correct. On the occassion of the 50th anniversary of the capture of the U-505 I led a team of volunteers from the GM Electromotive division and a former U-boat crewmember to carefully restore the stb diesel engine to operation. It took us nearly 5 months of effort. Of interest is the fact that the first time the engines were started in the 1950s the museum also had a te

Mr. Brooks & co. please come back when you have something more than speculation and theories and references to classified information and other dubious “sources”. This type of speculation is forbidden on the forums here at uboat.net and this thread has spun way out of control. This “discussion” is over.

Dear Steve, Photos can only be displayed in a post on our forums if the photos already reside somewhere on the Internet. This is how the forum software is configured. For the details see the post at the top of the page titled "New Forum Features (Revised March 02, 2007)". Scroll down to the section titled "ADDITIONAL NEW FEATURES" in that post for the procedure.

Dear Doc, Click on the "Our Forum Rules" link at the top of the page to see the policy on advertising. What we don't want is a bunch of folks posting adds on our forums. There are hundreds of U-boat related items for sale on ebay and elsewhere at any given moment in time. However an occasional post is allowed and if you use the search engine you will find a few similar posts.
