Based on the recent outbreak of the "Oops" posts, I think the board should restrict posting to registered users only.

I mean honestly, who needs help finding pron on the internet?

The BB is actually set to only allow registered users to post.

However, apparently there was a bug in a previous version of phpbb that's been fixed since I started using the BB. If contacted the phpbb gods on this one and they axed, "How did you get to the latest version...did you upgrade or do a fresh install."
Me: "Well, I upgraded of course."
Gods: "You need to copy your files, uninstall and reinstall."

I'm scared. Hold me.

I wunder if it's the same bug that keeps making me log-in twice, so I can't use the "post since last visit" option anymore...

I'm not holding you.

I've done this once myself.

Get a copy of phpMyAdmin. It's great for backing up the database. I used to have links somewhere that gives step by step instructions on how to backup and restore, but of course I can't find them right now.

Here is one tutorial that looks farily good:
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/backup/
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/restore/

Of course, you will have to reinstall all mods also.

I can't wait until phpbb3. I think they are trying to make this all easier.

Did you contact eprohosts or whatever? I It's been my experience that they don't take kindly to installing this kinda stuff if it isn't in the bundle. At least, they haven't helped me out any...

Should be taken care of now.

I forgot that the settings are on a forum by forum basis. The newer forums were still set to "public" (the default) which meant that any clown could post to them without registering. I've now protected them so that only you clowns can post.
