You can also block IPs in phpBB and in cPanel, but I don't know if you have cPanel (if not, you're missing out imho)

ok, i'll try all of this... but i just lost access to my server because someone had found a way into it, and the company sent the PW to the team sponsor... and i am out of town... so i will try to upgrade once i get back... thanks a lot guys :)

i kno its already been said, but upgrading works! lol i had the problem with it creating accounts n such...1 left a msg...so i upgraded it...and enabled image verification...n its all good so far

btw..if you have a skin installed...change ur config so that it goes to the subSilver theme first...b/c i had a problem with that...i forgot to change the skin and the board...well..broke.. and i had to change values in phoMyAdmin. you may need a new template if it's one you downloaded...im not sure how it is if you created your own.

hope this helped
