Re: Feature request re exif tag handling

I would like to see different approach for this. There should be a user option for how the meta data is handled, keep it or strip it. If keep it is selected you don't need to worry about rotation, you only adjust the height/width and other relevant meta data to resizing. If strip it is selected then...

Re: SPAMBOTS - how can we stop them - read FIRST post.

Re: SPAMBOTS - how can we stop them - read FIRST post.

backdoor, the spambots are automated and I don't see that will help. The way they work is to either have a database of sites that run phpbb or seek them out. They "know" where the registration page is and don't need a link to find it. For phpbb2 specifically they would simply post the regi...

Re: administrative panel not accessable

Try the "delete board cookies" link in the lower right of your forum.

phpBB has this feature built in, look under attachment setting in the ACP.

ACP > Posting > Attachment Settings

There's an option to enable thumbnails.

Re: Downloaded style does not appear in styles menu

Are you saying the ACP is still prosilver style ACP? That's on purpose and the ACP style is separate than the forum style.
