I just discovered apache mod_rpaf can solve the IP issue by faking the correct client IP within apache, easy solution! Sessions are still a concern...

We're reaching the top end of what a single web server can handle (We already moved all the images over to a pool of load-balanced lighttpd image servers) and now we're starting to think about adding more web servers and a load balancer for...

Well done guys! Great news! http://profileengine.com is now serving up to 20 page views per second to nearly one million unique users per month, and growing fast. Our (albeit heavily modified) version of elgg 1.8 is performing admirably under...

PS. 'Login to claim it' simply means we need a login to identify you as the genuine owner of your profile so that you can modify it.

Hi Seth, This is entirely legal and in accordance with relevant policies and terms. There are two ways you can create a profile on the profile engine and you must have used either one or the other: 1. You ticked a box in your facebook privacy...

We're looking for a very professional, high quality header design for profileengine.com, to then be followed with more work on general layout, CSS and theming. The header project has been listed on crowdspring with a full project description...

Thanks very much for the bug report Pedro, I think that problem applied to users who were not already in our database, and I think hopefully it is fixed now... please can you try again with the original account and let me know if it is working...

Thanks cash! It would not have been possible without all your hard work on elgg, we stand on the shoulders of giants. We're not properly going public just yet but I wanted the elgg community to be the first to know about it.  

Dhrup, We have given the core elgg team full access to our code throughout the development process and made it clear that they are welcome to make use of our work to improve elgg. Please take your trolling somewhere else, it is clear that you...

Hi Joaz, thanks for the feedback. We've been focused on getting the technical stuff right so far, the design hasn't had a lot of attention yet and it certainly needs some improvement. Do you have any specific suggestions?

Currently it's a private fork but we have granted access to the core elgg team. The reason for this is that we have to be incredibly careful to protect the huge amount of personal data on the site and while under development the code includes hard...

The Profile Engine began life as the worlds largest social network search engine. With addition of an elgg front end it has become a fully fledged social network. We have had our fork of elgg under intensive development for the last three months...

Great news guys! Well done! I'm loving developing on Elgg 1.8, the styling, javascript and general structure and commenting of the code is a massive improvement from 1.7. I now have a fully-ajaxed version nearly ready (based on a modified version...

Great plugin. I've been playing with this and have modified Facebox to work via elgg Ajaxify for ajax popup dialogs. I found one bug in ajaxify which was very frustrating and took ages to track down. Maybe it only affects certain versions of PHP....

I've got a strategy.... Feel free to pick it apart, constructive criticism welcome! As far as I can see the only ways to circumvent it will require thousands of IP addresses and/or a room full of people in India entering captchas, that's good...

I believe both FB and Google have addressed this issue since their spectacular fails (just try crawling them ad se what happens if you pull a large number of pages in a short time). I'm sure a someone determined could circumvent their protection but...

Evan, we're moving from a custom built site with less features and a closed login system. Developing all the features we need in-house became too much so we are using elgg as a front end/user interface. I'm modifying it to use some of our own data...

I'm currently building an elgg-based site which will import a huge (many millions) number of profiles from an existing site. I want to keep the profiles public to the greatest degree possible, ie. enable them to be viewed without any login and to...
