Hi All,
I know over the last few weeks our web hosting service, Lycos, Has been scanning and locking down any web files that they consider suspect.
Now they have locked down a few of the files that are needed to run the forum such as the smtp.php file as well as a few others and they wont unlock them for some reason.
It leaves us with only a few choices.
Either we move hosting company or we update the forum's software to an approved version.
Now updating the forum is a bit of a pain, but we do get many new features such as chat, attachments in messages and better control over things like avatars etc. It may mean that I have to close the forum for a day to update it.
Or we can move the whole lot to another provider. This could take days to do but requires no real changes to the existing forum.
What do you guys think ?
