Sounds like a good idea - Isolate it from the general public & hackers but still available for the Admin to refer to.
Just as long as the WWF credit is at the bottom to advertise the software.

Have the version on the admin area, so you could ask them to go there and check the version.

As a last resort, make an admin option, to [show/not show] the version at the bottom, but by default it show install as [not show] so the majority of the WWF's out there wouldn't have it displayed.

Hackers wouldn't like that.]]> Sat, 30 Jul 2005 08:06:16 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/forum-version-mismatch_topic16021_post87918.html#87918 <![CDATA[Forum Version mis-match : I use to do this, but then I had...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/forum-version-mismatch_topic16021_post87917.html#87917 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

I use to do this, but then I had the problem when doing support that people wouldn't know what version they are running.]]> Sat, 30 Jul 2005 07:18:56 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/forum-version-mismatch_topic16021_post87917.html#87917 <![CDATA[Forum Version mis-match : Just had a great idea, if this...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/forum-version-mismatch_topic16021_post87910.html#87910 Author: theSCIENTIST

Just had a great idea, if this forums (by default) didn't show the version number, it would give hackers a harder time.

As it stands, all an hacker has to do is find forums of a particular version his hack will work on, if the version is not shown, he has to try his hack on all instances, contributing to his frustration and most likely giving up earlier.

This is the same principle we hide the web server software or change the default error pages on it, so the hacker doens't know which platform is it, so he has to try hacks that will not work.

WWF version could still exist internally, in common.asp but I think it should not show on the front page at all, not even having an option to show it, only the forum admin needs to know the version, I guess.]]> Sat, 30 Jul 2005 03:37:03 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/forum-version-mismatch_topic16021_post87910.html#87910 <![CDATA[Forum Version mis-match : Thank very much for the information.

Thank very much for the information.
It how shows a more current version and I applied the patch so I believe I should be up todate.
Thanks for the great software and the community here.

The common.asp files need to be updated to the latest version for the version number to be updated.]]> Fri, 29 Jul 2005 06:56:26 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/forum-version-mismatch_topic16021_post87865.html#87865 <![CDATA[Forum Version mis-match : Hello - My problem is the displayed...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/forum-version-mismatch_topic16021_post87847.html#87847 Author: agypsy

Hello - My problem is the displayed forum version does not match with the just uploaded new ver. 7.92  Confused
I did a backup of my forum and uploaded ver. 7.92.
Then copied back a couple of files such as navigation_buttons_inc.asp and a few others that I thought contained the configuration for the site.  Forum looks OK and seems be as before the update. But it shows I am running 7.7a at the bottom of the default page and when I run the check version out of the admin menu.
Any Ideas or thoughts would be helpful.
Thanx
