In 1.2 (the current version), you only have 1 moderator group
In 1.3 (the version currently under development), you will be able to have multiple groups with the ability to moderate

That's not necessary. Simply download a fresh copy of PunBB, upload all the files, look in the extras folder for example_config.php, edit the file so that it has the proper information, and upload it as config.php

Also, do you know how you were hacked?

You can't by default: as I said, you need to modify at least one file first

imagine you're the author of an operating system.  you give an sdk for others to develop on.  lets say you hold your file allocation table in a globally accessible variable named foo.  now I, an idiot programmer, create a hello world application, and declare the value of some variable named foo, to a null pointer.  oops...  yes, I'd have to argue that being able to enforce that no one will ever assign 

$pun_config = null;

somewhere after its loaded from the cache and before anyone needs to use it, is a more reliable method. 

anytime you can guarantee that some core level code of an application cannot be modified outside of the means you prescribe, is (at least to me) a better, more reliable means.

Foobar foo = new Foobar();
foo = null;

You can screw things up with or without OOP, you just screw them up in slightly different ways wink

All of which are positive aspects of OOP, but none of which make it inherently more "accurate" or "reliable": it's up to the programmer to take advantage of what OOP has to offer when it's needed, using OOP isn't a panacea

OOP adds reliability to a program and it's more accurate

I don't think I've ever heard that argument before: how is OOP inherently more reliable and accurate?

axa: Make sure your braces are matching up: you most likely have too few ending braces.
And the line numbers being wrong are usually due to a change in version number between when the mod was created and when you use it. They can also be wrong if you already applied a mod. They're meant to be a guide, not to be exact.

You downloaded the FTP server, not the FTP client
And I assume you're running this on Windows: there's no chmodding necessary there (chmod is a Linux thing)

I found this comment directed at someone who was missing thumbnails:

Try accessing <uri of your forum>/include/phpThumb/demo/phpThumb.demo.demo.php
At the top of the page there will be a note that will tell you if GD lib installed on your server and what version it is. Ideally, you want to see something like this: "Note: this server is working on GD 'bundled (2.0.28 compatible)', so images should be of optimal quality." If you get a different message, you may need to contact your web host and see if they can help you there.

So, if <script> is NOT allowed, then, there should be no security issue ? Is that all I should not allow ?

No, any HTML tag can be manipulated to have javascript in it as an attribute.
