http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=16076

It is not a graphical CAPTCHA, but is is easy to setup and requires no permissions chmodding smile etc.

You need to alter the write/execute permissions on your cache dir or files. It can be done via your ftp client if you do not have shell access. The search facility on here will return plenty of info on the subject. smile

chmod -R 777 [/path/to/cachedir]

I don't know a lot about PHP so I don't know what to do with this. Can you please give me more information.

Thank you!

Dont let your users pic there own password.

I have tried to do this, but when I want to save the changes I made I get this error :

An error was encountered
Error: Unable to write configuration cache file to cache directory. Please make sure PHP has write access to the directory 'cache'.

I really need more security because today I had a new 'fake-ID' who posted porn on my forum.

I took this picture from another PunBB-forum. You have to give a code before you can register.

If you want to subscribe to my forum, you only have to give a name, a password and an e-mailadress. How can I make it happen that there is more security to register to the forum?
