In order to combat the latest perl worm you need to add these two lines:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^lwp-trivial [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^LWP::Simple [OR]I got hit over the weekend, my bandwidth got sucked up by it.

One suggestion would be to display the number of replies at the forum for said news topic, like 'comments (7)'

Re: Licences (6 replies, posted in General discussion)
I take it that this thread is related to the other one about incorporating PunBB into Power Portal?
There are many licenses to look at, the Mozilla Public license, the Apache license and of course, the GPL. And like Andy said, you can do your own.
The only reason I prefer GPL based software is that I can continue with it should the original author decide to abandon the code. I've been burned too many times learning the idiosyncracies of closed source software and then the company is bought out, goes under, etc. Then I have all this useless knowledge that I can' apply to anything else.
I'm not saying the Rickard will abandon PunBB anytime soon but times change, people change and priorities are re-sorted. I know that all the time I am spending on PunBB, is time well spent, time not wasted in my view.

Re: PunBB & PowerPortal Integration (9 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
Radek wrote a plugin to integrate PunBB with Blog:CMS and Nucleus.
Go here: http://nupusi.com/files/plugins/
There are 3 versions of it, 1.1.5, 1.2 and a 3.5.2 which is the latest for Blog:CMS but doesn't work with Nucleus.
The plugin does the following:
a) Creates a PunBB user when a user registers at Blog:CMS
b) Can create forum topics from blog posts
c) Can link to the forum topic from a blog post
At least you can see what has been done so far.

Re: PHP Vulnerabilities (11 replies, posted in General discussion)
This from ISC:
Note: we earlier reported that it takes advantage of a php vulnerability. This does not seem to be the case. The worm exploits the 'highlight' bug in phpBB 2.0.10 and earlier. The current version of phpBB (2.0.11, released Nov. 18th) fixes this problem. Nevertheless, its still a good idea to update php.

ARE COMPUTERS MALE OR FEMALE? YOU DECIDE
Top 5 Reasons Why Computers Must Be Male:
5. They're heavily dependent on external tools and equipment.
4. They periodically cut you off right when you think you've established a network connection.
3. They'll usually do what you ask them to do, but they won't do more than they have to and they won't think of it on their own.
2. They're typically obsolete within five years and need to be traded in for a new model. Some users, however, feel they've already invested so much in the damn machine that they're compelled to remain with an underpowered system.
1. They get hot when you turn them on, and that's the only time you have their attention.
Top 5 Reasons Computers Must Be Female:
5. No one but their creator understands their logic.
4. Even the smallest mistakes are immediately committed to memory for future reference.
3. The native language used to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
2. The message, "Bad command or filename," is about as informative as "If you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to tell you."
1. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

Ok, I see. Well them yes, I guess you could mod post.php to get it to work.
Thanks for the insight.
