Message Board upgraded

Postby Tawmass » Fri May 19, 2006 5:46 am

The board is now upgraded to v20.20. I've also upgraded the following items:

* The Quote function had a problem when replying to a message using the quote option. This should now be fixed.

* Incorporated an option for new users that register for the board, where they now must also provide Visual Confirmation, i.e. there will be a scrambled code displayed and they must type it in exactly as it is displayed to progress with registration. This option was added to aid in slowing the onslaught of automated spambots that keep hitting the board.

Other changes are listed below from v20.19 to v20.20:
[Fix] Prevent login attempts from incrementing for inactive users
[Fix] Do not check maximum login attempts on re-authentication to the admin panel - tomknight
[Fix] Regenerate session keys on password change

[Fix] improved index performance by determining the permissions before iterating through all forums (Bug #91)
[Fix] Better handling of short usernames within the search (bug #105)
[Fix] Send a no-cache header on admin pages as well as normal board pages (Bug #149)
[Fix] Apply word censors to the message when quoting it (Bug #405)
[Fix] Improved performance of query in admin_groups (Bug #753)
[Fix] Workaround for an issue in either PHP or MSSQL resulting in a space being returned instead of an empty string (bug #830)
[Fix] Correct use of default_style config value (Bug #861)
[Fix] Replace unneeded unset calls in admin_db_utilities.php - vanderaj
[Fix] Improved error handling in modcp.php

[Sec] Typecast poll id values - Anthrax101
[Sec] Added configurable search flood control to reduce the effect of DoS style attacks
[Sec] Changed the way we create "random" values for use as keys - chinchilla/Anthrax101
[Change] Changed handling of the case where a selected style doesn't exist in the database

As always, let me know if you encounter problems.
thanks,
