Given that phpbb2 is an application whose bugs are actively exploited and lots of Windows users run unpatched software I'd recommend a fix. (2.0.18 contains a patch to to circumvent the problem). For stable it's different, though. (The maintainers don't even seem to know patches, see http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=336756 for a bizarre message, with lots of instruction like FIND line 75: code foo AFTER, ADD code bar Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
