Guest travelerjim Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 UPDATE - Saturday January 20th.... The Moderator/Owner of the Sawatdee Forum has posted this message...So now we know the problem and he is trying to get the board updated and back on-line. TravelerJim Here is Elephant Spike's posting: http://p092.ezboard.com/sawatdeegaythailan...icID=6061.topic .....scroll down to Elephant Spikes posting of January 20, 2007: OK, In a Nutshel, the problem is this: phpbb comes up with updated versions every 2 months or so, and I haven't updated in the year++ that this site has been up. The reason is because I would need to manually edit in all the code updates since I'm not running my own server, but renting space from my web-host on a shared server. All of those manual code updates are really complicated to do because I have umpteen-gazillion modifications added to the basic phpbb software. Meanwhile, I've been trying to make the site secure from automated spamming programs, which are getting to be quite sophisticated (and a really big pain in the ass!). Along the way, I've made some sort of error in the editing of a key file. At this point, I'm ready to swallow my pride and ask my web-host for some programming help in updating to the latest version, making the board as spam-proof as posssible, and, of course, getting rid of the "Gobbledygook" at the top of the page. In the meantime, I think it may be best if I take the board off-line for now, and just have it forward to a page that explains our predicament, and links to this ezboard.

2lz2p Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 In addition to removing the Gobbledygook at the top of the page and the spam messeges, I hope the update also allows members to post replies to topics without getting the "messege sent to hell" screen.
