Re: Ban all gmail "multiple dot" users

There is no way to do this with phpBB, you'd need a extension or some custom code.

For custom code search for the function function validate_user_email in /includes/functions_user.php

Re: Unable to attach txt file to forum post

Are you using Cloudflare? If so check the firewall logs in CF panel.

It can also be mod_security issue.

I am using Cloud hosting. I think it is fast.
A fast server helps for standard download but it's not the same as streaming server. For it to work instantly the server needs to respond to that click and begin steaming at the point the user clicked.

Re: Fast forwarding videos

To fast forward a video instantly requires a streaming service on your server. Otherwise it's a standard download like any other file and the player can only fast forward to the point you have downloaded.

Re: Emails noy being delivered

You need to contact your host and ask them what is the cause of the error.

AI blurs the lines of traditional programming. It's not programmed to play Chess, it's programmed to learn how to play chess.

Re: IP address in email headers

Right now a good hacker could look at the email headers and thus the IP address and deduce down what my real host IP address is from the CIDR. If they know the host they can run a bot across your hosts range to every IP making requests for yoursite.com/unique_file.jpg, Eventually they will find it....

While it adds a layer of security the primary purpose of hiding the IP is for Cloudlfare's DDOS protection. If the person attacking your site can determine the origin then they can simply go around it with local DNS.

It's under permissions tab >> Group permissions link under the Global Permissions heading. There is going to be a role assigned to each group, edit the role for each group so it's "no" You can also just set the registered user group's role to never but I believe that would prevent yourself...

Re: By 2026, 90% of all online content will be AI generated.

but allow the buggers to rewrite their own code and it won’t be long. That is effectively how they "learn". When AI gets something wrong it determines why it was wrong. When AI plays chess for example, the first time it plays it's an amateur. Just to be clear it's not computational power ...

Re: IP address in email headers

Even if you could remove the IP it's going to be available in MX record. You can send and receive email from different IP than the web site is on but the MX record would need to reflect that and of course the IP would need to be set up to send and receive email for that domain. If you have VPS or be...

Re: How to let an old phpBB-2.0.22 forum to work again.

I'm not familar with WAMP but you would need a version with a PHP version compatible with pbpBB 2.0.22. I know XAMPP has older versions available, I' don't know which php version you need. Getting the original versions working is not really necessary. Try downloading the complete new package, there ...

I believe what he meant is Cpanel has these features built in. There is no manually editing of .htaccess required.
