Security Apparently, Spammers have found a way to post huge amounts of anonymous comment spam on various Geeklog sites, even though these sites had anonymous comments switched off.

The updates to Geeklog 1.3.9sr1 and Geeklog 1.3.8-1sr5 fix this problem now. Fixed versions of the affected comment.php are also available for 1.3.7sr5 and for 1.3.6, even though these versions aren't really supported any more and we would strongly advise you to upgrade.

Geeklog 1.3.9sr1 (which is also available as a complete tarball) includes additional fixes for several places where the topic permissions hadn't been checked properly as well as some other bugfixes that are not security-related (details can be found here).

YaBB to Geeklog Forum Migration Scripts

Announcements After 2 years of running a YaBB forum next to one of my Geeklog sites, I've decided that finally the time has come to move it over to the Geeklog Forum plugin. The result is a handful of scripts that handle the conversion of users, forums and posts, as well as the notifications.

Please note that this is not for the faint of heart - make sure you read the enclosed README. It did the job of migration 4644 forum posts and 797 users quite nicely, though. The migrated forum can be seen here.

And, for the record, this is for YaBB, not YaBB SE.

bye, Dirk
