Re: Close registrations? - 1 year ago

If you rename it, it should get a 404. If you put in a substitute file you could redirect to the list page. OR add it to a .htaccess as a redirect. That register link is built by the phorum code see phorum_get_url.php search on register.

Backup the database. QuoteDuplicate entry ';hooks'; for key ';P5_iC_settings.PRIMARY'; I believe a primary key must be "unique" entry. Disable mods and see if the issue goes away. Turn the mods back on one at a time and test. Try rebuilding the tables using mysql maintenance utility.

Re: Fixes for PHP 7/8 - 3 years ago

Not that simple. What version of Phorum? What version of php? What version of MySQL ? Running on Linux or Windows? Where is the "cache directory", and do you have permissions?

You have several issues with your site, some comes from phorum. 1) On the create a new account page. Click in the username box. I get a warning password is not secure. Inspecting I find that it is linked to an URL that is accessed by http, and not https. All modern browsers, and the internet itself treat http and https as separate resources with their own domain name.

Re: Security flaw - 3 years ago

You would need to do something that requires the user to be logged in. Most message boards don't check for credentials (session) again until an action that requires a good login. What happens in the browser with the _old login if you access something like the user control panel, or post a message? (Assuming posting a message requires a current session and logged in user (set in the admin)).
