CLOSE the forum, NOT remove contents

Hi all, Sorry to report I am completely fed up with PHPBB combined with my hosting. It is just too much work. I want to CLOSE the forum for any and all posts, registrations and what not. But, I do not want to delete the forum. It should remain "as is" for research purposes. I (think I) am ...

Re: spam spam spam spam

That question is way too simple. Spambots can do maths and anything you can google an answer to. I thougt I was being smart by using five and 2 (letters and numbers) :( Any tips?

Uhoh... I try to register a new user and it is not asking the question upon registration. It is asking the questions upon 5 failed login attempts. testing -> User registration settings -> General options -> Enable spambot countermeasures for registrations -> yup :) That's it (See? I am trying :) :) )

Re: spam spam spam spam

You don't need the first 4. If they've posted their name is in the forum next to the post. Just click the name there. If they haven't posted, open the memberlist last page in one tab and just right click > open in new table for the names you want to remove. There are easier ways to do it that you t...

Re: spam spam spam spam

Delete the accounts. You can delete the posts at the same time. Best to do them one at a time. Click the user name Administer user. There is a delete option at the bottom of the next page 7(!) clicks. Per account. Geez.... Thanx. There really should be a better way to mass-moderate built in the for...

Re: Hjelp. I don;t know what I am doing!

I was afraid of this. Host can do nothing anymore. They have done their part: upgrade the php (sql? Something) . the rest is my problem now. So I had a look in this phpmyadmin. Somehow I managed to log in (I have no clue how...), and I see these "tables". One of them is phpbb_migrations. I...
