Topic: Questions regarding security of PunBB and its some features

Hi! We're Mobile Playhouse and we've chosen PunBB for our forums. However, we've got a lot of questions about it and we'd like to have them answered. However, there doesn't seem to be an existing forum.

Also, a lot of people complain about the security of your forums, is there some fix for this?

I'm the webmaster, and for some reason I don't like FluxBB, and since it was based on your software, I installed yours. Any fixes for our two questions?

EDIT: Also, maybe administrators should be able to change others' email addresses. It doesn't seem to be available. By the way, maybe on these forums, Junior Members should be able to delete their own posts.

On my own forums on my private website, that encouraged a lot of this:

EDIT: Post deleted.

Which is why we should be able to delete our own posts.

EDIT PS: Um, it's a silent edit?

"Discussions" or "PunBB 1.4 troubleshooting".

No, no fixes. If someone report a security issue or a bug in the software it is fixed in the next PunBB release.

What's the second question?

EDIT PS: Um, it's a silent edit?

Yep, a silent edit.

Can you be more specific? What security issues have you found? If you tell us, we may try to fix them. I have been programming extensions for this forum for quite long time and found nothing. smile

Users can delete their posts, if they are last in the topic.

Silent edit the last post for all users? Sounds like a good idea for an extension smile
