Mmm... I semi-agree. But even with increased security, they will always find a way to hack into your forum. It's like fighting a losing battle.

Yes, there is always a way to hack in a forum, the techs should make it a little bit more secure

no way, techs don't waste your time, this is not necessary, there are many must-dos problems like this - http://help.forumotion.com/need-of-a-technician-f3/letters-changed-merged-with-leters-s269263-t19854.htm

so its ok to have security risks then would you want someone to take over your forum and deleting every post & topic that have been made on your forum or even delete your forum after you spend hour and hours of work on it, because if your post, topic or your forum gets deleted there no way you will be able to get them back.

SECURITY ALWAYS COME FIRST NOT SILLY LITTLE BUGS

[Luka_08]

hackers can hack your site whenever they want and techs can't do anything to stop them, and forumotion is phpbb forum, that says all, phpbb forums have many bugs that hackers can use it, i think it is better to resolve other solvable problems than take care of security coz in my opinion is wasting time ...

[spook]

that just crazy, so you saying you wouldn't be bother if your forum gets hacked and deleted


security risks has to come first before fixing other bugs

plus not all phpbb forum are hackable if you know what you doing.............

[Luka_08]

no, i want to say that whatever techs do about security can't stop hackers to hack your site.. and FBI site has been hacked (i think...), so if they wat to hack they will hack it

[spook]

you can stop hacker if you know what you doing.

just read the title, it says "maximum security" , so it can't be more secure

Not our fault if some founders loose their passwords or have their hotmail accounts hacked

In any case, wrong section
=> Lock
