Make sure you edited both files as required. If you still get an error, edit out line728/729 like this: /*$boardurl = ($this->registry->output->isHTTPS) ? $this->settings['board_url_https'] : $this->settings['board_url'];*/

Roses are red, nuts are brown. Skirts go up, pants come down. Body to body, skin to skin, when it's stiff, stick it in. It goes in dry, comes out wet. The longer it's in, the stronger it gets. You pull it out and it starts to sag.. It's not what you think, it's a Lipton Tea Bag!

A password is your first and last line of defense in computer security. Typically people choose bad passwords because they are easy to remember. However, you wouldn't leave the door to your home unlocked because it is too much of a hassle to unlock it before you open the door, would you? A weak password is the same thing. Using words that appear in a dictionary, in any language, make cracking your password that much easier. Adding numbers to dictionary words doesn't increase the password's strength at all if it is based on a dictionary word. Even with character replacements like capital letters and non-alphanumeric symbols, you're not getting a stronger password. A true strong password should consist of 8 or more characters and be part of a "passphrase". A passphrase consists of a phrase that has special meaning to you, therefore making it easier to remember. For example: Mickey Mouse for President. It would be awesome! One simple approach to create a better password is to take the first letter of each word in your passphrase, giving you: mmfpiwba That looks seemingly random, and it's a fairly hard password to crack. But why not make it harder by using the punctuation from the sentence? mmfp.iwba! Now that is a much harder password to crack. Why stop there, though? Let's make it even stronger by capitalizing some letters and adding numbers. MM4P.Iwba! Now you have truly difficult password to crack; but is still fairly easy to remember. To make it even stronger, you can salt it with non-alphanumeric character replacements for greater difficulty. For example, replacing an "a" with a "@" leaving you with: MM4P.Iwb@! NOTE: Some web hosts do not allow the following symbols to be used in the password (second symbol is a space): ? ^'":$&><~;` Typically, the following symbols are acceptable: !@#%*)(_-=+|[]{}.,/ Do's and Do Not's of Password Security: Do: Combine letters, symbols, and numbers that are easy for you to remember and hard for someone else to guess. Create pronounceable passwords (even if they are not words) that are easier to remember, reducing the temptation to write down your password. Try using the initial letters of a phrase you love, especially if a number or special character is included. Take two familiar things, and then wrap them around a number or special character. Alternatively, change the spelling to include a special character. Do not: Use personal information such as derivatives of your user ID, names of family members, maiden names, cars, license plates, telephone numbers, pets, birthdays, social security numbers, addresses, or hobbies. Use any word in any language spelled forward or backward. Tie passwords to the month. For example, don't use "Mayday" in May. Create new passwords that are substantially similar to ones you've previously used. NOTE: No password is 100% secure. You still must take basic security precautions such as not sharing your password with others, changing it frequently and changing it immediately if you believe it may have been compromised.

To an advanced webmaster, this guide is redundant. To an aspiring webmaster, this guide will outline the most common web page errors you may encounter. HTTP status codes are three-digit numbers that provide Web browsers with information about the page's status. You might see some of these errors while browsing the Internet, or you might have received them in your own hosting account. Here's a quick list to help you understand the most common error codes with suggestions for what to do to fix the error: 400 — Bad Request The Web server couldn't parse a malformed script. Most often, programming problems cause this issue. You should talk to your developer or software provider for help resolving this issue. 401 — Authentication Required This page requires a user name and password to access it. If you try to access it without it, you get a 401 — Authentication Required message. 403 — Forbidden Forbidden errors display when somebody tries to access a directory, file, or script without appropriate permissions. For example, if a script is readable only to the user and others cannot access the file, they'll see a 403 error. Invalid index files and empty directories can also cause 403 errors. 404 — Not Found If visitors access URLs that don't exist, they receive 404 errors. The cause can be anything from invalid URLs, missing files, or redirects to URLs that no longer exist. 500 — Internal Server Error This is a very general error that means there's a problem with the website displaying, but the details aren't readily available. Invalid .htaccess files, or invalid rules in them, commonly cause 500 errors with Linux based hosting accounts. With Windows based hosting accounts, it's most commonly invalid requests through a web.config file. To find out what causes the issue: Linux — Review your Apache® error logs. Windows — Enable detailed errors in your web.config file. For more information, check out the list of status code definitions at W3.org: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

Malware comes in many forms, from an unwanted ad reappearing on your site to an executable file that infects visitors who click on it. Telltale signs that your site is infected can include unexplained ads, links or pop-ups, but some malware can have no noticeable effects at all. Your best defenses against malware are staying current with third-party application patches and using strong server passwords. When checking for the presence of malware, be sure to check the code residing on your server and not your backup files. Always use a virtual machine for verification to avoid infecting your own computer. Consider taking your site down immediately to prevent infecting visitors, and take action quickly to identify/remove it. Identifying Malware Removing Malware Preventing Malware

Users who have the hook installed with their IPB 3.4.x package, may have noticed an oddity with their View New Content page (something similar to the image below): If you are experiencing this issue, it is caused by the aforementioned hook. You'll need to make one small edit and you'll be all set. Navigate to: <Your IPB Root>/Hooks/tbGfSkinSearch_xxxxx.php [*]The "xxxxx" substitutes the string of random characters attached to your file. Find this line: $data['last_poster'] = $data['last_poster_id'] ? IPSMember::makeProfileLink( TBGroupFormat::makeNameFormatted( $data, $data['last_poster_name'], $data['last_poster_group'], 'last_poster_id' ), $data['last_poster_id'], $data['seo_last_name'] ) : $this->settings['guest_name_pre'] . $data['last_poster_name'] . $this->settings['guest_name_suf']; ... and replace it with this: /*$data['last_poster'] = $data['last_poster_id'] ? IPSMember::makeProfileLink( TBGroupFormat::makeNameFormatted( $data, $data['last_poster_name'], $data['last_poster_group'], 'last_poster_id' ), $data['last_poster_id'], $data['seo_last_name'] ) : $this->settings['guest_name_pre'] . $data['last_poster_name'] . $this->settings['guest_name_suf'];*/ Save your edit, and refresh your page -- fixed! I strongly recommend downloading a copy of the file, making the edit, and then re-uploading it to avoid any issues with the upload. Editing the file inside of FTP programs such as Filezilla is not always efficient. [*]Credits to Paradiizee for working with me to find a fix for this. Be sure to thank him! [*]Please Note: This is only a temporary fix until the hook's original author makes the appropriate updates for full 3.4.x support.

I am not trying to be mean here, but do you even realize how ridiculous this topic is? While we can assume that you are using IPB 3.4.x (because that is what is in your profile), we have no idea what kind of help you need. [*]You went through over 100 IPB skins and couldn't find one you want to keep. Well, that seems rather odd to me. [*]Without knowing what skins you went through . . and based on the sheer volume of skins you went through . . . there's a really good chance that any skin someone recommends will be one that you have already looked at. [*]The fact that you looked at over 100 skins and couldn't find one you wanted to keep kind of tells me that this is an exercise in futility. [*]Based on your original post, we have no idea what kind of website you have. So, it would be stupid to recommend a gaming skin if your site is about basket weaving.

It may have been one of the last few things you've installed..That's my prediction at least.

Of course Lockdown is the best That's why I made this post dedicated to him! I hope he knows how much I liked him on IPBCore. I only talked to Lockdown, Phun and Para. Those 3 were the coolest. That's like the only reason why I was on the site so much, lol.

Mhmm it may have just been because it was different program, and I was a bit sceptical about it, but yeah xD - I may have another look later.

No ... Just upload the 3.43 files to your host forum folder and run the upgrade.

Yep, typo.. have about eight threads open plus my own private workload. Got sidetracked and confuddled myself. Should work just fine..

If some people are having trouble, I have working edited files that I will provide a download for. These files were edited by Phun. First File: cp_skin_global.php https://dl.dropbox.com/s/m2un12v076k3noc/cp_skin_global.php?token_hash=AAFrmGr3yhiJ2qLNkQvdsYPt9G37h7d_rCtyjoTWcicFuA&dl=1 Second File: dashboardNotifications.php https://dl.dropbox.com/s/r11jvivqfv382ds/dashboardNotifications.php?token_hash=AAFrl9cww8Dxa7xfj3cwc5XolhQeHVsj8y68_YHNXUcWNw&dl=1 Just copy the link and put it in your address bar. After they are downloaded, use an FTP and upload them to the respective folders. If you are unsure what the folders are, follow the guide below: cp_skin_global.php goes to admin and then into skin_cp. dashboardNotifications.php goes to admin then applications then to core and finally into extensions.

Very nice sigs. Love your style. We should collab sometime

Uh.. no. That's 10 lines.. not a stanza.

I'm not privy to the circumstances surrounding his departure from the Staff team (and neither is anyone else for that matter). I can tell you, as Evarni already has, that LockDown is still a regular contributor and valuable asset to the WebFlake community. One doesn't need to be a member of the team to contribute.

thanks for the reply.. sending someone the google.com link isnt really nice... unless im from outerspace nd have no idea what google is

As mentioned above, have you tried a different file? It could potentially be corrupted. Also, try using the old non-flash uploader.. does the same thing happen?

When you upload the file.. there is no "Attach" button.. it seems like you're trying to publish the post/download before actually uploading the file. Somewhere at the bottom of your browser, you should see "Uploading: xx%".. you cannot submit content before that has reached 100% (meaning the file is fully uploaded).

From what I can see, it likely didn't finish uploading.. (you're using the flash uploader).

Not always true.. I've been using GoDaddy for years (multiple domains).. and I'm also an affiliate/partner.

It's an application... download it, upload the necessary files, install it, and configure it. You can also use the tutorial posted by Sanctuary a few moments ago, to hard-code it:

Just because most folks know how to handle a gun appropriately, and have no intentions of killing people.. doesn't mean everyone should have one. The same applies to this download limit. Some folks abuse our downloads system, others don't. We cannot make exceptions for every individual who complains about it.. so, it's one cap, for everyone. Simple logic.

There are other ways to be a contributor aside from uploading content, donating, or posting in off-topic threads all day. Answer support threads, do research for tutorials, or even provide some graphics work (forum icons, banners, etc). It's not required that you give back to the community, but it'd certainly never hurt. WebFlake offers free support, quality content, and the best file sharing community out there.

So you're being clever You're making a mistake I just nailed my 200th post Here comes the real Big Flake. Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any face-palming that may ensue from this poem.

Roses are red,Petunias are pink,Read enough of these poems,And you’ll need a stiff drink!

Could be an older version of the hook that you are using, or it may just be a discrepancy between nulled/retail copies of IPB.

Download the file, make the required edits, and then re-upload the file. Editing via FTP isn't exactly a sure process.. sometimes the edits don't save properly.

Justin™, might want to edit the OP just to clarify that users should be doing these edits via an FTP, not the Admin CP. I read this last night at 4am and even confused myself. Thanks for the tutorial!

Lol, i think he will never have sex, haha

I get an error after pasting the second code into userInfoPane, won't let me save. "There is a syntax error in the template, usually caused by PHP code not properly formed. Please correct the error and hit save again."
