Another large security scare went through the phpBB community last night, and I had to upgrade our system to the latest and greatest version of phpBB.

This means we won't get hacked... but it also means many of the cool features I've added over the last few days will have to be done ALL OVER AGAIN...

No worries though... just want everyone to know what was going on... I'll get to many of them this afternoon. :)

Beats the alternative though. EZBoard went down REALLY hard for not staying ahead of theirs.

Most of it is little snippets of code here and there. The problem is, since I hacked most of this stuff in... it makes it "non standard" and new upgrades put you back to square one each time :)

Oh well... it's only a bunch of ones and zeros :)

Thanks for your hard work, Mike. It is appreciated very much by all of us who are tech challenged.

I'm having to apply a TON of security patches that came out on this software today. It appears someone is attacking phpBB sites with the same intent of what happened on EZBored.

Of course that means all my fancy stuff is gone :(
