Forum Updates and PHP Vulnerability.

[Tank]

Morning all,

As many of you will know, there is a huge problem around the world with something called PHP - which is a programming language that websites use on web servers.  There have been huge vulnerabilities found in it, and websites have been urged to shut down or update to the latest version.

I asked for the help from an SMF wizard yesterday, and they quickly agreed to getting our site upgraded and compatible with the latest PHP version.  So, we're protected!  Hurrah! 

We're also going ahead with updating the many Modification Packages that we have added onto the main SMF forum, so you may see some changes.

The Alerts system is on the list to be done, as well as the SMF Trader system (what members can use to leave feedback on for N'porium sales).

Thanks for your patience and especially for your donations.  This has covered the work so far, which is just brilliant.  THANK YOU!!!

Chris/Tank.


Faults and Future Upgrades:
SMF Trade System
Alerts System
Header photo rotator - not working properly.
Boards - Some boards now showing an error when clicked.
Registration - Better way of stopping bot accounts.

Thanks Chris. Good to hear it is all in hand.

If you need more funds don't hesitate to ask. Many of us will gladly drop an extra bob or two in the tin to keep this excellent forum going!

Cheers,

Chris

Guilty conscience - I got a blah blah email and thought it was a telling-off because I had not logged in for a while
