Admin Site: Clean referer stats

Manila referers stats are automatically cleaned when someone requests the referer stats page at /stats/referers. However, if ths page isn't requested over time the table can become quite large.

You can now clean the stats table for all sites on the server by using the Clean Referer Stats commands on the Maintenance settings page in the Frontier Admin site.

If your config.root file in the /Guest Databases/apps/ folder is quite large (20MB+), we recommend you use this command and then try compacting the config.root file.

Legal tags for members

You can now setup Manila to limit the HTML tags available to members when posting to the discussion group or leaving a comment.

Members still have access to a number of formatting commands, but this will stop any spammers from redirecting users to third party sites by including HTML in their messages.
