I have added an ip address to the banning section of 7.94 forums and this user just keeps coming back. It is a full IP, with no wildcards. Any suggestions? |

There was an issue with IP banning in version 7.9x, if you upgrade to version 8 it will solve the problem.

| There is a change to replace only a certain page or pages? I'm asking this because I've made some alterations to your forum's script to fit my goals... |

There isn't you would need to upgrade to version 8, which is free to do. Also, you should upgrade as soon as possible for security reasons. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I see...  When you say "security" on a scale from 0 (no worries about) to 9(red alert), what do you mean? :)

7.9 level 9 (you should upgrade immediately) 7.94 level 8 (you should upgrade immediately) 7.97 level 2 (there are no security holes, but you will get more protection from version 8) ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Any version before 7.97 will be at level 9 and needs to be updated. All releases from 7.9 to 7.97 were security releases, to combat a Turkish hacking group who persisted in hacking 100's of forums and still dose if they can find any running older versions. It seems though they have given up with version 8 as it has more security and all security and security advice settings are active by default in the latest version. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

| Don't get mad at me if I post this message in wrong forum but I consider to be a normal follow-up: what should I do with old mdb database if I want to update the forum at the later (or latest) version... Should I play a lot with SQL commands or there is a check-list? |

There is a database upgrade tool with upgrade instructions on the web wiz forums download page.
