Does any Admin or Moderator know which version of phpBB is used for the forum - and if any scripts/patches are applied which may affect any future applications of such?John M wrote:I appreciate feedback around how I can make this site and it's community work better, as it is important to me and I want it to be a better place.
The Question has arisen several times when questions as to what can be done to improve things here, are raised
There are phpBB forums for users and admins alike which I would have linked to, but not knowing this site's foundation makes it hard to pin down solutions/modification opportunities, updates/patches/tweaks etc
I will post relevant material here, if and when this basic question is answered
I believe there are considerable improvements to the spam handling, for example, this forum's IP Address is 208.109.22.214, though this maybe godaddy's host address
http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_tracer/208.109.22.214
see http://208.109.22.214/puppy

Spamcop here [blocklist available, to be used in conjunction with whitelist]

robtex appears to show no blocklist implemented, though is not linking to xxxx/puppy

Improved forum search is possible with an alphabetic search tag, IF the version was known...
OK?
Trying to assist, since other* usergroup avenues are blocked
