Well, they got us again!

It appears they used an automated attack against the old version of phpbb which phpnuke uses. I'm sick on that nuke software - too many bugs.

I customized this new software to run this site, let me know how you think it's working!

It looks really weird. I guess I'll get used to it. LOL

Sorry about all the hacking. Scummy little antis must be running scared. Hope this takes care of it!

LOL - I wasn't going for weird! But I agree it is a bit weird - I had read on some other forums about putting the poster's info on the right, rather than the left of the message, to focus more on the content of the forum. I can always switch it if everyone thinks it's too strange.

Let me know if you have any problems with it, though, I'll be trying to fix it all week - the important thing is to keep the hackers out!

I didn't mean the setup is weird, just that it's different from the old one and will take a little time to get used to it. Smile

The setup looks great! (Just different. Laughing )

Well, the important thing is that everyone likes it. It's certainly going to take me a while to get used to it also, but what the heck, who doesn't love change? Got to evolve with the internet ...

But thanks for the kind words!

True, smallbird, true, it will take getting used to ... but I'll just be happy enough if it doesn't get hacked again!

The forum page setup is 'weird' for me too...
Looks harder to see new posts - and with the most popular posts listed - I can see where old posts would be revived - which drives me up the wall - but that's just me Cool

And my avatar is gone - bummer - I liked my bonfire - will try to figure out how I posted it - because of course I didn't write down how I did it to begin with...

Hope this will be 'hack free'

Gilster;
I do agree I have to add a better way to see new posts.

But you can do what I do - on the bottom right of the forum is a link which says "View all posts since last visit". Just bookmark that in your browser, and that way every time you visit you will see all the new posts since you were here last.

I will look for your avatar, don't know why that didn't make it.

Bill, OK, I didn't see you could go to 'view posts since last visit' - I didn't see it on the bottom left there....Now I'm good.

I'll need to fix my homepage link - because your site is my homepage start up every day Very Happy
