  1. This is because only the first program runs. The second program which happens to be in the same file never executes. I'm not sure you could get it to execute in that state either.

  2. I'm not sure encryption is an area where opinions matter, what does matter is if it's possible to revers the encryption process without the information it was thought necessary to revers the encryption (i.e. the key or keys).

  3. I don't know the specifics of the configuration of this IPBoard install, but the people who make IPBoard offer a spam prevention service. That is to say, they have a central database of know IP and email address and usernames, if an account matches some variation of them, it gets auto banned. No idea if it's turned on for this install though. It's either not setup or it's stopped working.

  4. No, you need to setup a virtual host in Apache for app.domain.com.

    mod_rewrite is used to internally redirect the request to another file or directory based on a rule set, it can't change the URL displayed in the browser.

  5. You can't remove the port (http://domain.com:1234/something) without braking the website. The browser needs to know that the server is running on a different from default port.

    If sounds like what you have setup with dyndns is not a domain record as such (well, it is partly) but a 301 or 307 redirect, so the browser literally goes and gets another URL.

    If you want to get rid of the port you have to run the server on port 80. To setup the subdoamin correctly you need to create a new virtual host in your Apache config that defines it. mod_rewrite can't do any of this this.

  6. Hello ForcedLogic,

    I hope you had fun going through the post approval system :P

    Still getting spammed a fair bit. Want to see what happens over the period of a night (UK time). Annoyingly, most of the spam accounts are registering (and validating) with gmail accounts. wtf Google, get your act together lol. Then yahoo is used quite a bit, then mail.ru.

  7. As a moderator over at world-garage.com (who happens to run the same forum software), I can firmly say that this is some sort of wide-spread thing.

    I've reported a few messages here, only to have to turn around to delete the exact same messages over at WG.

    This problem, to my knowledge, as been reported to the IP.Board people. However, I have yet to hear anything new about a solution/fix.

    However, you can rest assured that it is not the forum skin that is causing the problem.

    If any moderators, or administrators want anymore information, I'll provide what I can.

    In that case I'm turning on moderator approval for new users (I apologies to the new users, but it's just ridiculous). I hope other believe this to be a justifiable approach to the problem (please tell me what you think).

  8. Ye, lots of spam. Fortunately the new forum makes it so much easier to remove spam (can mass remove a users posts). No idea why so much of it is in Russian, I mean, how many people are likely to click links on an English speaking forum if the post is in Russian?
