If you told us what you need, this would be much easier to help you.

im looking for a person who is familar with phpbb to help me with my forum

 

[SuperSix]

Again.. what are you trying to accomplish, what are you having a problem with? That code you posted is HTML..

 

[rhino56]

well basically put.
my tech admin left and i got nobody to do changes or mods to the site. he kinda left in the middle of things.
he is making his own site so he doesnt have time now, but im mainly concerned with security of the site, and wanted some modifications done like a different front page.
right now i got to edit the front page in note pad and its not easy, it would be better to have something i could just post in like a forum. i think its called portal.

and a few other things like that

 

[sao123]

I have setup 2 phpbb forums recently, 1 on IIS, and 1 on Apache.

But until you ask your question, instead of keeping it such a secret...

I refuse to tell you that i charge consulting fees of $20+ per hour.

Given phpbb's long history of security flaws, it seems to me that anybody still running phpbb is just begging to get 0wn3d.

For decent security... go old skule.... Telnet BBS...
BBS Corner

but if you must have PHP....
PHPBB is probably the most featured, but is probably the most buggy/insecure.
I'd say check out InvisionBoard.

 

[SuperSix]

Fusetalk may be hugely scaleable, but I think it sucks as a forum software.

As far as security flaws in Phpbb, if you are ata all aware, and patch your software like you should, it's a hell of a nice board package for free.

ALL forum software packages have security issues, and like Microsoft, PHPbb gets more exploits than others because of the sheer amount of sites running it.

More copies - better chance to find an old version to hack = pimply-faced asshat gets his jollies.

I won't say it's the best, (vbulletin gets my vote), it does have some issues, but it's not the security nightmare people think it is.

i'm partial to vBull

[Runes911]

I say ANY **decent** site can afford the $160 for a lifetime license of Vbulletin.
