Hosting on more than one domain?
I provide hosting on more than one domain but I don’t want several different forms. Can this script accommodate that?
Yes it can.
There are full instructions on how to modify the application form to accommodate more than one domain included in the README.txt file.

Customising the accept/decline emails?
How can I change the emails sent on approval/rejection of applicants?
Firstly, backup admin.php!
Then take your copy, open up the file in your usual HTML Editor and go to around line 78. (The line should start
Hi $_POST[name]). This is the start of your approval email so read through and change whatever you want to change.To change the rejection email, go to around Line 125 (which should start
mail($recipient, $subject, "Hi $_POST[name],”)and make the changes there.

Skinning: Customising your skins page
If you have skinned your site and offer visitors several different themes to pick from, this tutorial will show you how to customise your skins.php page so that it changes the information about the current layout according to what skin your visitor is using.
Although this means we have to use cookies and a little PHP, you don’t need to know much about them to implement this . . . although it should go without saying that you should have already implemented my skinning tutorial successfully for this to work!

404 message with NL-ConvertToPHP?
How can I add a 404 message when using NL-ConvertToPHP?
If you’d like to display a message when someone has hit a dead link or a page that you haven’t yet created, simply add a final else statement at the end of your main index page, just before your footer tag. It should look something like this:
<? } elseif ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == "extra") { ?> //Paste here your HTML code on the Extra page (without the header and footer code, obviously). <? } else { ?> //Paste here any HTML code that you want on the 404 page (without the header and footer code, obviously - eg. <h2>Oh no! This is a 404 - page not found!!</h2> <? } include('footer.inc'); ?>

Security risk with phpBB boards
Following personal experience of such an attack, I thought I’d quickly mention this here so that, hopefully, I can prevent anyone else from undergoing the same fate!
As you can read here and here, there’s currently a rampant worm that’s seeking and exploiting older versions of phpBB bulletin boards. Once its attacked, your will usually see the following message on all pages with .html and .php extensions:
This site is defaced!!!
NeverEverNoSanity WebWorm generation [xx].
(Please note that the generation number can vary.)
At the moment it’s still not clear whether or not this is a security problem with the board itself or if it’s with PHP version 4.3.9, but advice at the moment is to ensure that your board is running on the latest version 2.0.11 of PHPBB in order to try and minimise attack. I’d also suggest backing up your board and site just in case.
I would imagine that there are quite a number of people who read this who may use this BB, so I hope that someone finds this useful!
