MyBB Community Forums

Apologies if this is in the wrong location.

I have recently taken over admin for http://www.graysathletic.co.uk/forum and need some assistance.

The security was almost non existant and for the past 3 months I have been banning users, deleting posts etc. I have since obtained access to Admin CP and can delete users one at a time, but have over 9500 to do.

Is there any quick way without upgrading to the new version? Apparently the service I have won't support such version?

If I require help with plugins etc, is there any on here who can perform the tasks for me as I am a little worried about affecting the forum?

I am obviously ok to pay for anyone to assist.

Kind regards,
Chris

For spam you can use these plugins after upgrading to MyBB 1.6

I don't think there is any problem upgrading your forum. Just make a backup before doing it.

as per my original message, I don't have the confidence in adding the plugins. Is there a step by step guide someone can point me to?

also, I can't upgrade to 1.6 due to limitations on my php

Get a new host then

Contact me in MSN. PM me for my MSN and we can get started.

If your host doesn't have PHP 5.1+, which is what 1.6 needs, find a new host. Thousands of hosts have PHP 5.1+, and if yours doesn't, they're way behind the curve, and probably have outdated and insecure versions of other software running. Think of it like buying a new PC with Windows XP on it, you wouldn't because there's loads with Windows 7 and that's far better.

As for adding plugins, you just upload the files that are in the plugin download package to your file system... you can't really go wrong or break anything.

If you need hosting but can't afford to pay, please contact me :]
