Suggestion about phpBB

Um, suggestion: upgrade to the latest version of phpBB. Seriously, if you've been watching bugtraq lately (which I have, since I run a phpBB board elsewhere) you'll see that there are SERIOUS holes in versions of phpBB < 2.0.13...and those versions also announce the version # of your phpBB installation at the bottom (so this post isn't telling any potential hacker what they don't already know).
Just sayin'.

Boy, you guys sure do read these suggestion boards, don't you? Way to update in a hurry. Well done.
(knew you were doing it from the "please delete /install and /contrib" message -- I always forget to do that part on mine.)

Well, it seemed like a stellar suggestion... try suggesting something abstract and silly, like...oh... a link back to the songfight main page and see where that get's ya....

<a href="http://www.songfight.org">Songfight.org</a>. There ya go.
Actually, when you visit the forums you're likely as not viewing some of your own posts -- why don't you put a link back to songfight.org in your sig?
Just sayin'.
(but yeah, I've read some of those older threads on this subject. Hilarious.)

Oink. You too smart. Too smart for songfight. Too smart.
Duh. Well, at least no one can say I told you so...
I AM THE LINK....uh I think.EDIT: uh...no signature is showing up here...
EDIT #2: ok. Since I have not used a signature on this board before... why is it that I have the "always attach my signature" clicked on "yes" yet it didn't attach it until I clicked on it in the message?
...gonna log out and in again and see if that fixes it...

Yes. I KNOW I've waited quite some time, but I think I have something to offer to teh "lost thread" and "adult swim"....namely a link to the tunes...
The amusing thing is, in person, I'm rather shy.
