Hi I was wondering if anyone can check my forum for any security issues? I want to make sure its all safe before getting ads for it.
Thanks!

Like user permissions. Maybe I didn't set that up properly or something. I intended users to post anonymously with no registration.
Thanks, that's good to know.HiFiKabin wrote: Sat Jul 09, 2022 11:21 am If you are using the software and extensions downloaded from here then there are no known security issues
Yeah but I have the time to delete the spam . If it gets bad I'll try reCaptha or another system.Lumpy Burgertushie wrote: Sat Jul 09, 2022 10:36 pm if you allow guest posting you are just asking for a spam fest.
however, spam is not a security issue. just because someone can post without registering does not
mean the board is not secure.

SPAM WILL become a problem if you allow unrestricted guest posting. You need a decent CAPTCHA for registration and Guest Posting. I suggest a good question using the inbuilt Q&A CAPTCHA using a question that can not be googled for an answer. That together with first post approval will make your life a whole lot easier.StarvingMarving wrote: Sun Jul 10, 2022 1:00 am Yeah but I have the time to delete the spam .

well, so you don't need to worry about ads, I don't think your website will get accepted by any of the ad networks until you get a decent number of visitors
