For a few years now my web host has hosted my phpBB forum. The software has been out of date for quite some time. I emailed the host and they informed that they cannot upgrade the version of phpBB I was using. The problem with the previous version is that I was getting spammed daily. The messages were easy enough to remove but I really wanted to upgrade to see what the difference would be in the amount of spam I receive. Anyway, over this past weekend I decided that this was the time to upgrade phpBB.
After several hours, and many a help forum visit (the phpBB help forums) I finally got the latest version installed and working. The problem now is that the old version of phpBB is still accessible from the web. I have no access to the original version of phpBB so I installed the new version in my own directory and repointed all the links in my site. I am afraid that the spammers will keep using the older links (found all over the web) to post messages to my forum! I guess that I will just have to wait and see.
I attempted to use the built in captcha feature but it doesn't seem to work. I go to the admin panel and 'enable visual confirmation' but when I refresh the page after enabling the functionality the check defaults to 'no'. I think that this would be a helpful in combating the spam epidemic but as of this point I can't get the damn thing working. O'well, that is for another day.
Anyway, here is a link to the new forum:
