That little SMF has been fixed greatly in SMF 1.1 RC2 and is being perfected for the next version further
 permissions are needing it.

I thought about doing this once. I'll just have to buy some PHP and MySQL books, then I think I could probably program one. If you really wanted, I'd help too  [N]F |

QUOTE(twitch @ May 23 2006, 04:44 PM) Either way Ganesh, it is still illegal and immoral. Unless IPS suddenly state that IPB is OpenSource and free (under GPL) then I think they should be given the money they deserve for creating such software. Can you imagine working at Google and being told, sorry we're using a nullified/craked version of this company, so we are so sorry, but you're not getting any money. I was being half joking/half serious. People who use cracked/illegal versions of web-software within the hosting service of Astahost should be made either to remove their software or find hosting elsewhere. Some people give the host a bad name, just because the domain where it is found contains something bad. For your kindest information, I am not here to get hosting or do I have a hosting account here, I just like AstaHost and all the people here (including you) so if you want proof check it if you like. QUOTE(nightfox @ May 25 2006, 04:06 AM) SMF is a great free solution. For paid, I highly suggest IPB. Though the price tag is a little steep, it is well worth the investment. Ok, enough about SMF, I am sick with it none of their mods are compaitble with each other and with the latest version and 95% of their mods are for YaBB not SMF (ok, there are a lot). QUOTE(nightfox @ May 25 2006, 04:06 AM) Just stay away from phpBB... I've never seen so many security holes in a single piece of software (excluding Windows, of course). I could probably hack a phpBB and I know some other people who could probably do it too. It has way too many exploits and SQL injections and the whatnot. phpBB should be banned.. I don't understand how people like it. And dont say anything to my cute little phpBB , of course I use it only for my Arcade Mod to play online with friends. But doesnt mean that they have a lot of security patches if they release a lot of updates, may be the updates are for enhancing phpBB, do you know? |

I almost DIED laughing there! Every single phpBB update brings MORE security holes along with patching the old ones... you shouldn't have to create a patch every other week. The current phpBB release: 2.0.20.... that number seems a little strange. You'd think by now they'd be at 2.5.0 after all the releases to fix holes. When do they plan on reaching 2.1??

And nightfox, i shifted from phpBB to SMF following your advice. i really loved the automatic mod installation feature, but had some problem installing mods. It asked for the FTP account details and i gave it, but while some files in the mod package show success , one or two show failed. My SMF is at http://www.FundaZone.Com/forums while my phpBB is at http://www.fundazone.com/forum i'm still figuring out the mods part. Might need help |

Well now... I have followed along with BBS and creating forums. I just wanted to see what it was all about, and I must have found the same host that astahost uses. It is a pretty cool thing to bump into, because it is almost just like working through the Astahost forums. I didn't really do anything as of yet, but dang, I really like it! I think there will be a lot of work involved being an admin in my own forum and then come here to post, but as the idea is similar, there is a lot of priority and involvement level.
I would be involved with Astahost maybe on a more professional level compared to my own... but I would still be myself as to participation and how I will post to each. I don't expect I would have a lot of movement to my new forum site, but I would still like to have my crew be able to connect together... and not so much try to get them involved in web hosting! Ok, so I guess I am writing this post backwards... but I guess I can say I am now trying Invision... it was brought up so I thought I would give it a try myself... and since it is SOO close to what Astashost has layout wise, I will have to do A LOT of customizing! But isn't that what it's all about!!?? - skedad - |

When they decided to go paid, a lot of people split and went back to phpBB or went on to SMF or QSF or other big boards. I think some of them even went on to make MyBB since that board system is very similar to IPB. xboxrulz |
