MxBB/mxPublisher
Posted: Mon Jun 15, 2009 5:41 am
I noticed that the forum doesn't work very well on Internet Explorer 8 (now a critical update, so obviously Microsoft's recommended browser!).
In particular, if you fully populate the text box when posting a topic (i.e. waffle on for ages!), the text box jiggles about, making it impossible to see what you're typing!
I wondered whether you're running an old version of MxBB (noting the 2007 message at the bottom) so Googled it. I found two things.
- MxBB is actually an add-on CMS for phpBB (and as phpBB is often updated due to exploits and improvements, it should be regularly updated).
- MxBB was replaced by mxPublisher in early 2008!
I notice that you mentioned you got hacked. Unfortunately, this was most likely due to your running an outdated version of phpBB, and someone took advantage of an exploit. I would recommend upgrading to mxPublisher.
Hope this info is of use!
