'''October 27 2014 - Captcha shenanigans'''<br>
 
It seems the wiki's captcha system ASIRRA is no longer supported, causing users without a validated email address to be unable to edit the wiki. This affects both GTW and EGW. I'm in the process of finding a suitable replacement. If you want to edit the wiki in the meanwhile, you can register an account and have a confirmation email sent to you by going to Preferences -> User Profile -> Email options.

UPDATE: I've replaced Asirra with QueryCaptcha. If problems persist, let me know in the /vr/ thread. [[User:ITEM-3|ITEM-3]] ([[User talk:ITEM-3|talk]]) 00:10, 28 October 2014 (EDT)

'''April 24 2014 - Spam and captcha'''<br>

==Mods==
The captcha settings have been updated to combat the ongoing spam problem. Anonymous and unconfirmed users may still edit the wiki, but they will be required to complete a captcha to create and edit pages. To get rid of the captcha, you need to register an account and confirm your email address. You can have a confirmation email sent to you by going to Preferences -> User Profile -> Email options.

There is a known problem, likely a mistake in the PCB-layout, with low-pass filtered audio. To fix this, you can remove capacitor "C205" which you will find between the white and yellow jacks. This will result in a much clearer audio.
