After the styles mysteriously reverting back to their original format a month or so ago, I finally worked out that this was because PHPBB uses a weird system allowing you to modify the styles through the adminsitration page without the changes actually being written to the core stylesheet... it's stored in some kind of weird database, and then checks the last modification date for the core stylesheet against the version stored in the database, and then applies any differences... Last time I'd made minor change to the core stylesheet it had decided that it no longer needed to use the version in the database and reverted to the core stylesheet... Anyway, I have now written all changes to the core stylesheet and (except for a few minor things) the stylesheet is now back to the familiar browns we all recognise...
In other news, the war against the spammers continues, and we now have over 300 IP addresses in our site banlist... They just keep coming... I have implemented some IP range bans for IP address ranges which commonly crop up... If for some reason you find yourself affected by an IP ban (unlikely, but it could happen!) e-mail
webmaster@heroesandheroines.org and tell me your IP address (you can find it out at
http://www.moanmyip.com/ if you need) and I'll unban you...
