This should only be used as a last resort! Try the autoupdate method first.

Thanks chaps - will brave the auto-update first I guess (with a backup done immediately beforehand). Wish me luck ;) Friday night's the quietest time on my forum so guess I'll find out later if it works!

This link:
https://area51.phpbb.com/code-changes/3.0.11/
might save a few seconds over waiting for the obfuscated link to Let Me Google That For You populate and return results...
;)

The only concern I've got here is the one about disallowing "very long" passwords ... I've got a couple of boards to update, and am wondering what counts as a "very long" password?

I presume this is done by way of setting an upper limit on the Password Length - this is currently set to 100 on both the boards; is this going to be substantially shorter than this?

Googling anything to do with passwords returns all manner of irrelevant results and am unable to download the code changes right now, but was hoping for a quick answer if such a thing is available :)

That change means that anything above 4096 characters will be rejected and not hashed.

Changelog would be here. The links posted by others are code-changes. The release announcement also links to the changelog, by the way.

Shouldn't it automatically reject anything longer than the maximum value of the Password length setting? Unless you MOD your board, those fields are limited to three characters (or 999) anyway.

Or does it already do that and this is just a secondary check in case somebody has MODded their board to support four-character lengths?

You dont need to use the html from the board to send a request to the page.

Well we only have one mod - the Advanced Block Mod to stop spam joining applications. We had to remove it to successfully update and now cannot get the ABM back on!

How do all of your forums run without spam blocking mods?? It seems there is no easy way to add the ABM back on in its current version so we may end up reinstalling .11 from a back up until the mod is brought up to date.

I'm just using the Q&A captcha and everything works. So i think these is no need of a mod.


And if a spammer gets through, i just delete him and bis unapproved posts. But this never happend with bots. Only with human spammer and they are posting only afew post s to look unimposing.
