No one needs to know about your domain name to find your forum. Well... Yes and no. I run a small personal web site on my home computer. When I look at the log, I see many attempts to visit without any of the domain names my server is set up for. There are people who run probes that go from one IP ...

Removing or bypassing the router isn't an option. Far too many other mission critical communications are involved. But I say again, ONLY phpBB has page load stallouts. As for your third sentence, I'm really not very good at ESL. Could you elaborate on what you are trying to say? I don't have slow do...

Me too. Depends *somewhat* on the time of day, otherwise I can't really pin it down. I have several other sites (two eCommerce, five static sites, and a listserv site - all with very, very low traffic volume) that respond immediately 100% of the time.

There is one incredibly important gotcha to look for... If any of your Snitz members created a post that was copy/pasted from a Word documen...

Me, too! Accessing the forums on the internal LAN is no problem. But from home, lots (lots!) of browser timeouts, or half page loads as indicated by the progress bar on the browser, or the HTML portion and some of the graphics but none of the CSS, etc. But I haven't heard any complaints from my user...

I agree with Gideon5L2F: I think the GD-based CAPTCHA has been figured out. Analyzing my server logs for the most recent 5 registrations shows that within just a few seconds, those visitors GET/POSTed up to seven times - presumably fetching CAPTCHA images until one was delivered that could be recogn...
