As it is notify in the install screen, if you already have some bbcodes it might don't work: Please be advised that this process might overwrite existing custom BBcodes and as a result, those BBcodes might not display correctly due to the changes introduced by ABBC3’s BBcodes.If you experience prob...
I use full text (SQL) backup from within phpMyadmin and I restore using Bigdump. The phpbb.com support have always told me to use uncompressed SQL files as compressed .gz files don't always restore properly. This has in fact happened to me in the past, so I always take uncompressed backups now - and...
This isn't SEO related, so I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, but I expect there must be a few people knowledgeable about SQL here. :D I have had the Video BBcode mod on my forum for embedded Youtube videos for a long time, so there are around 1,500 posts encoded with the "[video]&quo...
I get this error message when moving topics: General Error Tried to redirect to potentially insecure url. :shock: I recently upgraded the installation from 3.0.7-PL1 to 3.0.9, with Advanced URL redirection. I've had no other problems at all. Any ideas what could be causing this? Update: I only get t...
I haven't updated my forum software in a long time and I'm wondering what would be the easiest way to update. If I try to use the automatic updater, would I need to upgrade to 3.0.8 first and then 3.0.9? This is a fairly heavily modified board (about 15 active MODs plus cosmetic changes), so would I...
I have a forum running 3.0.7-PL1 premod. All is working fine but I'm about to move to a new hosting company. But when I look in the ACP under the PHPBB SEO tab, the control panel for mod-rewrite and generating the .htaccess has disappeared! :shock: Only the GYM sitemaps and RSS control panel is ther...
Hi, I've been running the premod 3.04, plus a few other MODs, for quite a while. I never got round to upgrading to 3.05. Now I want to upgrade straight to 3.06. What would be the easiest route to doing this? I'm thinking of just deleting the old files, uploading the 3.06 premod files, doing the data...
You must be right, dcz, as I'm pleased to say... we're back! :D Obviously there are still a lot of pages from the old domain being cached, so no doubt things will still be up and down for a few days while it gets sorted out, but all seems to be going OK now. As a bonus, someone linked to one of our ...
Surprisingly, I've already had a reply to my request for reconsideration. It tells me absolutely nothing though: "We've now reviewed your site. When we review a site, we check to see if it's in violation of our Webmaster Guidelines. If we don't find any problems, we'll reconsider our indexing o...
Having analysed this more closely, I'm wondering if the duplicate domains issue is only part of the story. The home pages of the site are a Wordpress blog, which Google seems to have preferred in recent months to most forum posts. The home page in particular has ranked very highly in serps for certa...
What are the ramifications of not upgrading then and just keeping the forum as it is? Security - by not upgrading, you leave yourself wide open to hackers using exploits that may have already been fixed in the upgrades. phpBB is an extremely popular program, which makes it particularly attractive t...
