phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

Mod or tool, it's a question of names. If you start adding things to a software that is not working to begin with, you are going to get into trouble sooner or later. And for me with 7.000 users and a 76mb database that means BIG trouble. Before modifiying anything the first step is to make sure your...

Well I have a policy: I do not install mods on malfunctioning forums. If you do more and more things stop working and you end up loosing control. I've changed the cookie name, I have not installed the mod and now I can login with firefox :) Maybe just changing the cookie name works for other people ...

changing the cookie will be enough even if not installing the mod?

If you have to install a mod, and make all your users (7.000+ in my case) log off and close its browsers, loose cookies, cachés and everything to make the forum work. In my opinion 0.22.

This should be fixed without pissing off users and without having to install mods.

Thanks, but I do not think its a good idea installing mods on a forum that's not working properly. ¿Does anyone know what's happening, why and how to solve it without mods?

Hi, Yesterday I installed a 0.22 on my server to configure it for updating the forum, but login is not working. I've also been having problems with 0.21 (autologin not working), but now it just does not work altogeter. When you login using firefox 2.0 (WXP) you appear as logged in the user list but ...

You should not give up, eventually someone will find a solution for this. I got the same problem. My hosting closed down my forum this morning. Other phpBB sites I know off are being atakked similarly, and the directory name does not seem to do any good, mine is called "foros". Registration is not a...

Same problem, posted also on the pepepotamo thread but their kin on their visual confirmation hack. I have nobody posting

I'm having a similar problem for a week now, only I have not open guest posting and the do not post, the just ran around 300-500 users at a time. My hosting has closed down my site without prior notice :-( I'll be changing servers but ¿do I have to put the site to registered members only? i've poste...

I think I've got the problem, although I still do not know how to fix it. We've got 2 phpBB installed, the first one is a normal board, the second acts as a CMS for the website. Both share the same users tables, the second phpBB is sharing the following tables: USER_GROUP_TABLE AUTH_ACCESS_TABLE (I ...

Hi, I've tried several searches but I either get a 100 pages result set or none at all, so if this has been answered before please refer me to it. My problem is that in some of my forums, some members become moderators and I do not know why. Some of the moderators are different versions of myself (I...

Thank you very much, with that information i can start to track what has happened. Actually I have not updated to 2.06 yet, I'm still on 2.04, I had this feeling that version 2.05 existence would be brief and I always wait a couple of weeks before updating. This way, when I update the little issues ...

Hello I posted this question quite a long time ago (with 2.03), but nobody answered me :-) Now that I know my way a little better may be I'll explain it better and some one can help me. I'm having problem with permission, with moderators and with groups: - Some users appear as moderators of a given ...

Hi, A friend of mine is having the same problem, we have looked over all the settings and they are correct, we are about to use the "fix". But, but both his forum and mine are on the same hosting company (hostgo) and mine works beautifully, so his should be working also. ¿Any one knows why this happ...
