De.scription and Message

im assuming the reason you recieved no reply is because your question has been asked and answered several times.
The simple answer is no. There are many posts and a knowlege base article on how to work with it. There has been alot of discussion on how or if we should try to make a switch to turn it off. I doubt this will happen, though in future releases it should not require as much intevention. The reason for this is that the #1 problem with phpbb and previous IM releases is security, which was proven several months ago by the dozens of IM sites that got hacked, including the original integramod.com site. Cracker tracker give us the type of site security that you would normaly get with some of the expensive licensed cms software packages

Look for the patch that Zacfields has put together. Yes you will still get those warnings but not as frequently. Another thing you can do is go to your Cpanel and change the name of the ctracker folder to something like -ctracker and you will get errors on the page, but scroll down and you will se your work and be able to edit with no warnings at all.

Yes that is a cheesy way to do it but it is effective and will slow requests for help down immensly and give this team a fighting chance to work with .script and get it working correctly rather then spending countless hours on support for things as he said that has been asked and answered over and over again.

Once all your changes are made, make sure you go back and change the name of the ctracker folder to its original name or your site will be plagued with errors.

Yes cracker is a pain in the arse.......BUT it is very valuable. If you got hacked 10 times in one week, youd know exactly what Im talking about. <img> Try Zacfields patch and if it doesnt help you any, try the name change on the folder as I suggested.

Have a great day/night. Ray
