http://gprep.net/forum/ gives me a 403 error: make sure the permissions are set correctly

That's interesting.
Try deleting the .php files in the cache directory

Well, if you don't care about the email address requirement, simply disabling the requirement is the eaisest way to do this. The input is still there, but it isn't required for people to fill it out.

Hmm, how about we all calm down and drop the bickering?

You'll need to talk to Connorhd, since he runs MyPunBB. We can't help you with issues with that setup.

Also, you're using a free forum host: there is no way you'll be able to create a whole site with just that, let alone a full Flash application like the main Pokemon website. If you want to create a website, you'll need to get some real web space first.

Where did you upload the contents of the upload folder to?

Certainly not. In fact, they're fairly common in PHP applications as a whole
However, the level of injection he's describing (adding an arbitrary number of rows with arbitrary data to 2 different tables) seems fairly unlikely at this point.

Exactly. If there's something wrong, we can't fix it without more information than "it sucks."

Run this SQL query

update prefixconfig set conf_value="http://www.mydomain.com/foldername" where conf_name="o_base_url"

where prefix is your database prefix and http://www.mydomain.com/foldername is the proper path to the folder
Then, delete the .php files in the cache directory in the forum directory

meh
duh

<?php
header("Location: http://www.mydomain.com/foldername/");
exit;

Hmm, let me make sure I have this right.
The forum was originally at
www.mydomain.com/forum/
Now, it's at
www.mydomain.com/foldername/forum/
and you want
www.mydomain.com
to redirect to
www.mydomain.com/foldername/forum/

header("Location: http://www.mydomain.com/foldername/forum/");
exit;

btw: My code example was meant to be put in the root of the site, not in the PunBB index.

And after consultation with someone who knows Dutch, I'm told I should replace the word "map" with the word "folder"
There are a couple ways to redirect from a page to a folder. You can put the following as your index.php

header("Location: http://www.mysitename.blabla/myfoldername/");
exit;

with the proper folder name and domain name, of course. That's just one method.

Do you allow guest posting? Do you use any of the anti-spam mods? Do you require users to verify their registration via email? Using an unmodded, completely open version of just about any forum software is going to get you spam.

Assuming you're not using any of the anti-spam mods that have been released, might I suggest doing so? A lot of homemade anti-spam solutions I've seen people come up with have mistakes in the code that renders them ineffective. Using one of the mods should avoid that issue.

Security is something we take very seriously, so I'm surprised to hear you say that. I'm not exactly sure what you mean though: care to clarify?

I have to go with Dr Jeckyl and say that without more information, this is a bogus claim. I've seen anti-spam solutions work extremely well (I've also seen PunBB forums which have never experienced spam) and I have never seen an SQL injection in PunBB that would allow something like that. If you think you've found an SQL inject in PunBB though (I'm talking about PunBB itself, not a mod you installed or coded yourself), I would encourage you to report it so we can fix it.

Doesn't that directly contradict what you said earlier, that it was "no use" to try to deter spam from a PunBB forum?

Well, it's nice of you to want to look out for another user. However, it would be even better if you could clarify some of your criticism and not make such broad claims without evidence to back it up.
