  1.

  2. Release date on: June 27, 2005, 03:40:16 AMExactly :P Yeah it was released like two months ago to Charter Members (paid beta testers with instant support) but its just went Beta to the public, I never thought of posting before asit was a beta, but it seemed more than stable at my site so I felt it would be best to mention it, but yeah its been a bit too long on my behalf to have posted here about this. Today I just thought it right to announce it.Yeah its probably best not to upgrade, SMF 1.0.5 has no known security holes and the SMF 1.0.X tree will be around for about another year and continuly updated to patch bugs and security.


  3. The long awaited SMF 1.1 has been released.

    Its currently in beta so I would not recomend anyone trys it if they have customs alterations such as themes and mods.

    This brings hundreds of NEW feeatures, and lot more admin control, its been a year in development and is now out. Its free to upgrade and wont ever charge.

    It also included an Admin Panel overhaul and now the admin panel is like ten times better than before, its much more efficient and faster than before. The SMf community love it, this release is the feature freeze before it goes Release Candidate, then after that it will go to the stable tree.

    When it feature freezes, SMF 1.2 development will begin and this release will have new features and more to play with, although thats about a year away as of now.

    SMF has added a lot of features, and now there isnt any solid reason why anything is better than SMF.


    Theres a convertor for just about every forum software that exists, and theres a list of ones to be created. If your choice isnt there, add it to the list and they will make one for it.

    SMF 1.1 is truly remarkable, you can update EASILY by, downloading the "UPGRADE" package from http://download.simplemachines.org/ here and then running the script called "upgrade.php" in your browser, you wont loose ANY posts or members, but you will loose all your mods, most of them arent compatable yet anyway, but the authors will be working fast to get this upgraded soon.

    SMF 1.0 will still be supported for 1 full year from now, so in a years time there still maybe be more releases, such as SMF 1.0.6 for those who do not wish to loose their mods or to upgrade.

    I know I said "When you update SMF you wont loose your mods" before but thats still true, this is a ONCE A YEAR upgrade, re-adding your mods is still as simple as it will ever be, and 1.1.1 will be a package manager simple upgrade.

    This release adds a ton of new security features to stop attacks, it uses some very advanced methods to stop attacks before they happen. This release wont be fully stable for another few months I would reckon but for those people who want the new features, feel free to upgrade.

    Questions? As always are encouraged to be asked.


  4. Well my site used to have 83 themes, 25 smiley sets, and 11 languages, now it has 1 theme, 1 smiley set and 1 language.

    But it has content, a lot of original and good content it is!

    Anyway T101! is my site, I dont have any pages, just a forum, a pretty active one at that.

    We would love anyone to come and join us, or just anyone to make suggestions on what we could do to make ourselfs better.

    We do intend to install more themes and such again, when SMF 1.1 is fully stable

  5. My site was recently attacked by an IP, it sucked a rather large ammount of bandwidth in a short time, just so you all know, and you can block it already.

    http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Has more details,

    If you wish to ban it from your site, cPanel -> IP Deny Manager -> Add 65.19.150.251

    If you have also noticed bandwidth jumps, awstats has the details, check that and it should give you some IP's, if you notice 65.19.150.251 then please tell us here.

    I believe the Asta admins are also checking the server logs and perhaps taking action to block this IP from the server.
