Re: How to seacrh for strings in all files in entire phpBB directory

Notepad ++ works great Please read the full post. If you know of a hidden Notepad++ feature that does that for remote files then please describe where to find it. To be honest, the best thing to do is to download a local copy of the files - use the program and then upload the changes once you’re co...

Re: Where does Google Adsense place their ads ?

Really consider not letting Google place ads automatically. They really can ruin the user experience on a PHPBB board. Manually placed ads are much better.

Re: is phpBB2 still usable/workable or not in 2022?

PHPBB2 is still very usable and workable in 2022 / 2023.

Re: DDOS attack

Are you certain it is millions? Do you have some sort of stats to show this? Any reason someone would target your board?

Most DDOS type attacks on a phpbb board can be mitigated unless it is a big player specifically targeting you - then yes, you'll need some sort of outside support.

Re: Is there a limit in the number of attachments in the files folder?

I'm thinking the current version should be able to support unlimited attachements. With attachment mod on phpbb2 we have over 217 million attachments and it works fine. The only limits you should encounter on either version would be host limited or storage limits. One thing to keep in mind in a WAMP...

Re: If There Was a Section Here for Interpreting phpBB Boards...

I've toyed with the idea of adding a showcase for phpbb2 boards to Refugees - but the previous posters are right - in general it would be a spam fest. When we used to allow automated referral links on our home page it because a crazy fest - quickly killed that one.
