exactly what are the security problems with phpbb?  I've been hearing this, but nothing about the actual problems so it'll be helpful if you can elaborate on them.  I've just started using phpbb & don't know about these stuff.
I wanted to get a popular board, and it was a toss between phpbb & invision.  true, invision has powerful features, but I just find the interface ugly...

I think vbulletin wins in looks, but haven't looked at it because it costs money.

heh i dont follow the news now bur for example i can brief you on a security exploit of phpbb ver former to 2.0.6:
u could easily gain admin status(and admin rank 1 ) by adding sth in your post

dont ask me what
couse im not gonna tell you that

ell i think england and the usa are a good team so dont mess with us lol.

i dont mean to be offensive

 

but do you realize what creatures on this planet show power to ensure their status in a group:

I hate Bush and Blair.

hehehhei second that

ones a nut seconds a suckup

well ...

overall PHPbb is good ,even more then good but IPB is even better

 

its try that PHPbb has a great community offering loads of mods but IPB as a generic package has most of them(equivalents) included

 

 

IPB is safer from security's point of view, it has less "holes"

 

but if you're about to make a choice between the generic PHPbb and IPB than dont even waist your time of thinking.

 

IPB is you choice

 

the default PHPBB is a "naked" package having literally nothing.(this one in available in"scripts in our Cpanel)

 

I run one of my board on a evaluation of phpbb package dwith good mods and with increased security -->PHPbb by przemo available at http://przemo.org/, but i would have chosen IPB if it had supported my language

 

btw, u are aware that IPB (trial versions)  are  no longer free to download, right?

dont worry bout this

this only applies to the new ver of Invision Power Board VER 2

IPB up to ver1.3 (as the one included in Xisto hosting is still free as long as you wont remove the copyright credits

Since I have a licenced XP and have installed SP2, Linux can wait.

i cannoy

i fack im just preparing my pc for fedora 2

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON THIS PLANET

its simple (if its the same issue that occures in 2003)Microshit came up with this to get even more money from their costumers pocketbill gates woke up one day with this on his mind:"hey what dont i change more for systems having more the 10 users.. they are gonna pay anyways"so it appers that you have that limited verion if 2000I doubt that overcoming this problem is more then a click awaypssssss...(quiet)look around for files storing the verison info ......

try photobucket

I'm sorry, I have absolutely no idea of what you were trying to say.. I'm sure it would have been a good suggestion if I could have understood what it was you were talking about. Hopefully you or someone else can put it into words that I can understand... 

heheh

ok what i was trying to say is that you ought to use colors with more saturation in those flamy twisty thingis couse for now the color cast of your artwork looks like if you had left it on the sun : 25 years and found it yesterday

and if you decide to chage the color cast to a bit more lively i recomend to use small and slight gradients

was this clear?
i hope so

take care

as said before u can upgrade it or export the db install the board (1.3) all over and import the db once moreeverything will be the same (almost)..make a back up 1st just in casebout the betas.. i presume the thing was bout bout IPB 2 .well the final is out but its completely commercial (so you gotta pay for it) and when upgrading the users are lost and have to reregister all over again. if you need the files for 1.3.1 or 2.0 final (nobody sow that ) let me know

I've seen this mod for phpBB, perhaps you could alter one of those and make it compatible with IPB? (Yes, you can.. just use the base of the code for BBCode, etc)

well zenchi IPB allows SWF(flash) with a mod like in phpBB but it disabled by default this carries a serious security issue so few board allow it

bout html tag
here i dont know but most likely html tags are any allowed for admins and maybe mods (unlimited) and the basic tags well .. lets see for our selfs:
<B>if this text is in bold the basic html tags are allowed</B>

  You can try Image Shack. If i remember correctly, they do image hosting, including flash (.swf/.fla).

image shack indeed allows to store flash but .fla are not flash movies but flash author files (sorda like the source code in c++ c and so on)

the ideas goodi 'd change sth thoughthe colors of the..."flame"thinigis from the dimmed and pale (sory for the vocab i dont know how to put it in words) to ones having more saturation and ad slight gradients

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later

uuhhhhhh
unfortunetally im not a fan of *BLEEP* apps like IE so i wont be able to use it
the idea is great though

Why dont you use a program.........

where do you thing i got that specific info of not being authorized etc.. hehehehftp server accounts are to be utilized with ftp clients not some lousy IE :

i use flashfxp

but serious
can one of the admins give me some info on it
if seem like the sub account are disabled
and thats how it aint working

thanks load browill check it outappreciate the help

... i'm from easten country whose forum....

what country are you from?

look at my alvatar:)

 

bout the thing IBP uses rregular BBcode used by 90% of board systems so i dont know what board were u using twith <> those codes.

There is a bbcode help above.

flash is not allowed for security reasons

movies ..i have not seen a board system that allows it

images yes "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png />you have easy to use buttons in you replay dialog

 

for more info reffer to the IPB help

so do you have msn or not ??

 

and yet again take a good look and youre bound to find what you need

<div align = "right"> hehehhe

--==== notepad ====--hehehefor real there is no easy way into codingyou have to know the code and you need a assembler thats alla use MS vistual studio

.. rest use google and search...

man have you read at least 1/3 of my post?????

i provided you with every thing you need

all you have to do now is to use this knowledge

 

GOOGLE.COM

i appears that I'm the only one with the problem so to make it more clear for you guys i have set up a test ftp account leading to a "test" directory bosz.trap17.com or for those of you that don't use the short syntax: user : test pass :test1234 ftp: bosz.trap17.com i have tried this account with bosz.trap17.com and ftp.trap.17.com with null results

[br][R] Connecting to bosz.trap17.com -> IP=69.50.188.18 PORT=21[/br][R] Connected to bosz.trap17.com[br][R] 220-=(<*>)=-.:. (( Welcome to PureFTPd 1.0.12 )) .:.-=(<*>)=-[/br][R] 220-You are user number 5 of 50 allowed.[br][R] 220-Local time is now 13:33 and the load is 47.73.

Password required[br][R] PASS (hidden)[/br][R] 530 Authentication failed, sorry[br][R] Connection failed[/br][R] Delaying for 120 seconds before reconnect attempt #1

as you can see the pass is interpreted as wrong by the server and i have tried this some time after i made changes so i doubt its a time issue i guess the subftp account are disabled for us but it is written nowwhere

ok
I'm not sure what type of a server are you willing to have so:

if your goal is to have a ftp server  464.6......)
i can recommend this
TYPSoft FTP Server(1mb)
or filezilla server(if you wanna let it run all the time)(<1mb)

if your need is a HTTP server then
if you want sth extremely simple.... then Ability Server(,100kb) (as a matter of fact i can also be a ftp and a mail server) - this one is as easy as it gets
You can go the way 90 % of the WWW world went and choose apache the most reliable www server but also a bit more complicated

to top it off :
if you wanna host php files with a mysql db i recommend apache with addons (php and mysql bianries) and to save you time on configuration of alla those :try Easyphp's trisome (apache1 mysql4 php4) all in one package(preconfigured)(11mb) u can find it at easyphp.org (or net)

for the rest use google and search


oh
and if you wanna have you ip switched for sth like that :you.no-ip.com go to http://www.noip.com/ and sigh in for a free account

what's kind of config does ask for the server ?very advanced computer?

im very sorry but i find thise two sentences very incoherent
could you clear it out for me please so i could help you

CHMODs are permission rights in linux (unix) systemsread the install info on the skinyou most likely have to chmod some directory to 777and 99%of skins have installation instruction--you jan change the chmod by.. right clicking on a file folder and depending on the client pres filepermissions or just CHMOD and choose what you need to
