I will be switching forums in a few days

Post by lhurgoyf »

For the past week or so my site has been hacked every day by a very persistant iranian. He is exploiting this phpbb in order to do so and so I plan switch to a different forum.

I will first attempt to upgrade this board to the newest version, I am unsure if it is possible with the amount of mods and crap that has been added. If I cannot get it to work I will be installing a different forum. If I can get the user accounts converted over, you will have the same accounts on the new board, if not then everything will be starting from scratch.

More info to come

well aparently the phpbb version is updated according to the script so I dunno... we shall see how well that does as I didnt have to upload any additional files?

I found an interesting little addition if you'd like to try it:

flashbb

interesting little skin for phpbb, give it a try. I was thinking about forcing you guys to use it but, I thought I would let ya choose

Looking at the style I feel the urge to start calling it the iForum...

The loading screen makes it feel a bit slower as I don't notice the loading really on the current forum; it kind of attracts attention to it.

2 things I use a lot are the "Recent Threads" and "X many posts since you last logged in" things; would they work in the Flash version?

unfortunately flashbb only has limited stuff to it so it seems... there is no recent posts options and unless i'm blind you cannot even see when the posts were posted. It was just a nifty little thing I found and thought I'd try :p
