First off stay away from phpBB. It is too easily hacked and is the most targeted Forum softwares for spammers/hackers due to it's many security holes. If your looking for a decent forum software look into Simple Machines Forum. Simple Machines Forum - Free & open source community software
That is what I used on the Carolinas3s.org and Colorado3s.org forums. When Colorado3s got large enough I moved up to vbulletin which will cost about $100+ for a license.
thank you greg I will look into switching it tonight after work they had a Simple Machine one but I went with phpBB because thats what most sites I used had

PHPBB can be made secure, just takes a lot of plugins, correct settings and knowing what your doing. Search on the PHPBB forum and look at how others are securing their forums.
One thing I know that really secured mine when I used it was removing the PHPBB version and footer info. Bots scan for that info and that is what tells them you are a prime candidate for hacking attempts as those items right there tell the world what software the forum is running.
ok the whole thing just went to shit

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.
Jeff: just fixed it for you. The test forum is back up and running if you want to keep playing with it.
Thank you for all your help Shaun can you show me how to change the Header to a photo?
