Hello,

My site with TCH is at aworldofhelp.com.

I got an e-mail today that said my site would be shut down if I didn't upgrade my PHPBB installation to 2.0.17 by September 7.

I run two copies of the PHPBB, but both are upgraded to 2.0.17, and both give this text in the admin control panel:

Version Information

Your installation is up to date, no updates are available for your version of phpBB.

For the latest information on updates to phpBB, why not subscribe to our mailing list.

Powered by phpBB 2.0.17 © 2001 phpBB Group


Was the e-mail sent out to everyone on that server, or are my boards not up to date according to TCH?

Obvioulsy I want to change any exploited code for my own sake, as well as everyone else on the shared server. Thanks for your help!

The e-email I received said

On September 07, 2005 we will begin disabling all exploited versions of this software.

I did not see any mention of shutting down your site.

The e-mail went to any one that installed phpBB through their cpanel.

Since you have already upgraded, you don't have to worry smile.gif

Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't install it through cpanel, but I guess the important thing is that it won't be shut down since it's already upgraded.

Thanks again.

As long as you have the most updated version of the script then you have nothing to worry about.

My question is how will they know what version you are running unless they intend to read the database?
