phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

Yeah tis is what i am lookign for!
Is there any way to make automatic the upgrade to VIP MEMBER after paypal payment?

There are a few tweaks you can do, pero example change the title when reading posts. Because usually at the left appears the phpbb and view topic stuff and only after that appears the title of the post, that is not good for SEO.

The tags hard coded into the templates are to stop bots hitting buttons like "QUOTE" and "REPLY" which really don't make sense to be indexed. To actually control what areas of your board can be indexed, you edit the permissions of the "bots" group in the permissions tab in the ACP. For that pages y...

PHPBB is not a guest book and its not the use of it. There is no configuration that will convert it on a guest book.
Search on hot scripts dot com for guestbook scripts. Even Fantastico (on your CPanel) has some guestbook available.

Im plannign to add a lot of content to my forum, but i feel that some people (or leech bots) could visit hunders of my pages per hour to copy my content. Its possible to put some "threeshold" that dont allow more than X numer of pages visited by a registered member pwe hour (only registered memeber ...

Goear is an mp3 listening site (its legal), it could be nice to be able to add some of the mp3 stream players with some specific song that the user that add the post decide. Its similar to add some youtube video, but adding the mp3 player from goear.

This can be used to hide links until the user put a reply on the post. Its cool, i hope someone develop it. I want it gor my forum

You need to follow the urls provided by google and look for anything that users pots, somewhere there is a script, image, flash, etc. that is bad, Just delete all, clean it and then tell Google that the site is clean.
very important is to add more security to stop this kind of actions from posters.

According to a previous thread, the Google Analytics javascript is supposed to go before the </body> tag in overall_footer.html; I have tried this but it does not work and it seems to generate a silent error notification from Internet Explorer whenever the forum is visited (the forum itself seems t...

Very interesting!!

I tried to do the same in one portal of mine, to show in the main page who are online. But i cant achieve yet, i will follow directions on this thread.

Gte backlinks to your forums from other webpages or forums, just make sure that the links are do follow (i mean no nofollow).

BTW, the one that its really needed is Google. The rest will not drive much traffic usually.

Sorry for this stupid question. :oops: But 2 days ago i found this when looking for another thing, and move it. Now i realise that my move was a bad one because i open the forum to guests for posting and i don't want that... my problem is that im not sure how to go to the same place and change it ba...

You just need to modify the template. Can you use the cpanel or any control panel?
