Board's news
Posted: Thu Aug 10, 2023 12:15 pm
Hey fellas, Tinyspider here.
I'm glad to announce that the board has been fully migrated to a new host, and save for some minor details, is fully functional.
In the upcoming weeks I will be conducting several improvements and adjustments to bring it up to date, such as adding a https certificate, upgrading it to the latest version of phpBB and adding security features to authentication to prevent bots from registering/posting.
I also have set up a PayPal address to those who would like to contribute to cover hosting/domain registration costs. You can send your donation (any amount you wish) to board@basictek.net
On that regard I think I'm gonna add a "FIMS supporter" exclusive rank on the profile, (either that, or the ability to add signatures to posts) and access to a donor-exclusive sub-topic within the board to those who wish to contribute as a little token of gratitude.
If you have any ideas or suggestions on how to improve the board, please let me know.
EDIT: I'm sorry about the login issues, I'm still trying to work out a solution as there seems to be some compatibility problems due to the version of MySQL and PHP I'm running on the host. I'm going to run some experiments on a local copy of the site on my personal computer and figure out what solution works best. I'll let you know once I work something out.
