In ACP > General > Load Settings check if Recompile stale style components is set to yes. If so, the board will automatically recompile the style if there have been any changes without the need to refresh the style. Thanks! On the "problem" board this is indeed set to "Yes", whi...

I have several phpBB boards and with one of them I have the following problem with the cache. FYI Notes: I have a cache directory with permission 777 after emptying the cache phpBB does create new cache files with permission 666 However, it seems that the cache isn't actually used while visiting the...

Now that was fast!

Thanks, I was afraid so.

I noticed that when people are blocked by IP address, they can't read the board at all. I banned some people by IP because I don't want them to be able to register and post messages, but I don't want that they can't read the board at all. So, is possible to ban by IP without blocking the ability to ...

the system may or may not be buggy but you don't understand how Ip ranges work apparently. this: 115.0.0.0-115.255.255.255 would have to create a huge list. Isn't that in fact the same as: 115.*.*.* BTW: I just found out that IP banning makes the whole board unavailable to users with that IP. I did...

I honestly couldn't tell you if that ban is even operational since it is not the correct format. phpBB shouldn't even accept it in the first place (and doesn't on a vanilla install). It's possible that MOD has modified something which has introduced this inconsistency. But again, to answer your ori...

The change is intended to fix this bug: http://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-9020 Thanks. But then I hope there will eventually be a better way of dealing with this problem, one that doesn't truncate subjects. Because IMO truncated subject like this are ugly: Re: Discuss: Blog "Moving on - t...

After updating from phpBB 3.0.6 to phpBB 3.0.7-PL1 I noticed that the post subject in the replies can't be more than 60 characters, which used to be 64 characters (to make room for the "Re: " prefix, because the topic subject can be 60 characters maximum). What happens now is that if I sta...

Does the following NOT count for updating to 3.0.6? Source: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1840745 Note to people using 3.0.4 files in 3.0.5 installations We know that some replaced their includes/functions_messenger.php file from their phpBB 3.0.5 installation with the ver...

I think most duplicate content problems are solved with phpBB 3.0.4. However, on my phpBB boards and I guess on other people's phpBB boards as well, the fast majority of double content pages are caused by URLs containing "&start=0‎". The cause is links on the board containing the "...

Okay, I just did that: http://www.phpbb.com/bugs/phpbb3/38925

A Never permission in registered users should do it. No need to do it in the Admin group too. This is what the permission masks are for. Run your username through the forum based permissions mask and see where the permission is being allowed. I just did what you suggested, a Never permission in reg...

If I set my own user or group forum permission for "Can vote in polls" to "Never", then I am still able to vote in polls. I have got two accounts: administrator and a standard registered user account. I have tried to apply this to both accounts, and with both accounts I am still ...

You can add another anti-spambots mod like The Humanizer or Textual Confirmation and it will finish with bots. I have installed both. Yes, some bots can get through, and adding another MOD may stop them all. I installing the MOD Better captcha next to this MOD. I haven't had any spambot registratio...
