BGForums Updated, although a bit ugly...

Post by George Geczy »

To resolve board spam issues we have updated to the latest release of PHPBB, however our previous style was no longer compatible... my apologies, it has become a bit ugly around here.

We will look at other styles to change to shortly that my be better.

Yea, don't like the new look but understand you gotta do what you gotta do. Looking forward to seeing the improved look once you got it going. :)

Does phpbb allow users to chose between different installed skins like in mybb? In that case it does not mather that much what the default look is. Although the new look is better than the old in my opinion :)

Agreed.. I can't put my finger on what exactly it is but I can't stand the new style...

When it comes to spam a default version of a forum is never enough, I for example implemented on my inactive forum different security questions and other add-ons that enhance security. Especially add-ons making registration harder for bots. After my latest add-on that made it possible for me to add my own security questions, spam bots stopped spamming. When you ask a bot a question at registration to which it cannot answer correctly plus all newest CAPTCA etc they can't register. Alternatively you can always develop your own look based on someone elses :D
