There’s still no doubt a few teething issues to iron out (for instance, right now we still need to sort the pages out!) but the database and accompanying users, scripts and resources have all ported over successfully.

A massive, massive thank you to Amelie who spent hours getting us prepared for the migration.

I’m looking for people who can do any of the following: Write coding-related tutorials; Add code snippets; Help update the FAQ and Contribute regularly to the forum and help people out.

It helps if you have a decent grasp of the main scripting languages. However, for the Tutorial and Snippet sections, anything code-related is okay (think HTML, CSS, Javascript, Ruby on Rails, ASP, etc). I’m also looking for people who could write tutorials for PC maintenance, Photoshop, blog scripts (WP, EE etc.) SEO - so it’s not just about writing scripts!

If you’re interested in helping me out with this please send me an email at mail[at] furious-angel.com with the following information:

• Your name
• Your email
• Your site URL
• Your username at the forum
• And tell me what coding languages you know or have had experience with, and why you’d like to join the staff.

I am looking for friendly, committed people prepared to help get CG back on track, people willing to write tutorials and contribute to the knowledge base here.

Thanks a million to anyone in advance for being willing to help me out.

Any questions, just ask!

• Improved header injection protection
• Improved captcha
• Better error handling
• Easier customization
• Double-escaped entities in received emails now fixed

All users of NL-PHPMail are advised to upgrade in order to fully protect against header injection.

The move went pretty smoothly, I am just now fixing the last few bugs in the forums. The MySQL database I moved over was 88MB in size - the vast majority of it caused by the forums! Anyway, I think everything is pretty much back up and running, but please let me know if you spot any errors anywhere.

Hopefully our new location will provide us with faster page loading and less downtime!

You do not need to reinstall the whole script as the only file affected is join.php. For your convenience, we have a fixed version of join.php available here. The easiest way to secure your scripts:

• Download the fixed join.php
• Unzip it
• Replace ALL copies of join.php on all of your fanlistings using PHPFanBase

We strongly urge that ALL users of this script replace their existing join.php forms as soon as possible!

FA-PHPHosting, PHPClique, PHPCalendar, PHPCurrently, PHPFanBase, PHPQuotes

Please see here for full details on how to fix this. It is important that you do this AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. By not fixing this, you are letting your site be vulnerable to hacking. This is now a known flaw to hackers, so they will be actively looking for sites to exploit - please fix the issue as soon as possible!

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!
