phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

I have used a 'Country' custom field for many years now, required on registration. It works fine and nobody has found it confusing or difficult. My board is in English and the main target area is the UK so this is my version of the 'entries' field... --- Please Select --- England Ireland Scotland Un...

The documentation is for 3.0.x but the procedure should be the same for 3.1.x

Why should the developers have to do everything for you? They already give their time and knowledge to create software that they allow you to use, completely free. If you're not willing or able to learn how to use the software and/or run a website then don't. Learn to do things for yourself or emplo...

My forum: phpBB 3.1.9, 21 extensions, database 171.9 MiB, Total posts 167394 • Total topics 14254 • Total members 3149, shared hosting, no crashes.

No, it was not, phpBB software does not auto update and by your own admission you are the only person with admin access. And shouting does not alter reality.

Another option would be to password protect the folder containing the forum.

If you're on an apache server you could use .htaccess to redirect any traffic not from your IP address.

Who or what is a power user?

2. Prosilver theme isn't a very pretty theme. It's just okay. I agree, which is why I created a unique child theme (based on Prosilver) for my site. The three examples you linked to in your previous post are not 'pretty' to my eye either, I find them very bland. There's no single theme that would b...

So if this is not about your code or copyright notices why are you using it it for your copyright notice in your code? https://github.com/LMOspaceace/ajaxchat/blob/master/styles/all/template/chat_body.html#L236 <div class="chatnavbar navbar"> <div class="chatform"> <span class=&q...

I get the difference. So why are you pumping from the bottom drain? The oldest known koi carp on record was a Japanese scarlet specimen named “Hanako,” who lived to the grand old age of 225! That is an often repeated myth. Just because it's been plastered all over the web it doesn't mean it's true....
