Hello everyone, Let me give you a little more info about all of this : - It is indeed linked to XRumer (I also met a "XRumertest" user) - The attack didn't start on November 16th but actually a couple of weeks ago on one of my smaller forums; yesterday, the attack occurred on another large...

You're right Noth, is all I have to say

Hello, Indeed ... this would probably be more relevant for busy admins. I personally don't analyze logs very often and I want to protect myself against the possibility that a moderator deletes the account of another moderator (this happened to one of my forums in the past, fortunately the account wa...

Hello everyone, and happy new year !

Hello everybody, I have been looking all over the forums for a clear answer to this but I haven't been able to locate any post dealing with the issue (even though there surely are some). I own a few phpbb2 forums and I would like to convert them to phpbb3 but I am worrying about the SEO effects of s...

Exactly what I wanted ... I just couldn't find the right file ! Thank you very much for the help !

Hello, How could I remove the "email this user" field from my users' profiles, regardless of their choice (i.e even if they chose to have their email appear, it won't) ? I cannot find the viewprofile.php file in phpbb3, so I guess this is all handled differently. Help would be much appreci...

Hello,

Is there an add-on (mod) to add a navigation bar like the one on the phpbb.com website ? (the bar with the About, Downloads, Customise, Support, etc ...)

Thanks !
