phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

I know it isn't hard and I have done it several times in my own forum. In this thread I was asking to clear things up for others who have a different setup (involving git and puppet). It was discussed how to do updates and why. Sysadmins here have a different opinion than the average single forum ad...

Anyhow, thx for the help.

http://www.phpbb.com/support/documents.php?mode=changelog&version=3#v307-PL1 Ah, I see - something does not work wrt the search function of my browser - it does not mark this entry :( Well, it seems that from v. 3.08 there has been no security alert? So, strictly speaking for a lazy¹ administration...

They are listed for each version.

There is no match found.
I'm looking at http://www.phpbb.com/support/documents. ... &version=3

Adding:
I know the changelog but having a list with more than 100 entries is not really helpful if you want to check only for security fixes.

Is there a list of security alerts and/or fixes where I can see which security related issues where reported and fixed in which version?
Something like:
Updating from version n to n+1 fixed the following security related issues:
No 12345, contents, reported on foo.bar.com/12345. , link to details

Ah, ok, now I understood. Well, unfortunately I have a life outside of the forum, but I also want to respond to an alert ASAP. If I visit the board once a day, people would have to wait for my response for 24 hours (in the worst case), that's not my understanding of a quick response. That's why I re...

are you not going to your board every once in a while to maintain it? or do you not have moderators for this purpose? that is why a web based bulletin board was developed so that you have to access it via the web to use it and maintain it. What do you mean by that? I don't understand the meaning of...

Thx, somebody here is already working on it although I can't say anything about the progress.

Well, my excitement started too early!
The MOD was written for 3.0.1, now we have 3.0.9 and it's not even working in 3.0.6:

Thx a lot!

When a user reports a post by clicking on the "Report" icon (the exclamation mark), is it not standard that the administrator group gets a mail notification? I saw this in another phpbb3 forum and now I checked it in my forum - I do not get a mail informing me about a new report. Where can I configu...

Well, I'd really love to see this and I don't think I'm the only one!
Pls keep us posted about the progress of this.

Ah, ok, now here I get no option but a white window telling me that: SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ] Table './db_mambo/phpbb3_search_wordmatch' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed [144] Anyhow, took the table from a backup and replaced the broken table. Now I deleted all search indices and...
