I had a couple of observations and a question.  Your change log mentions a file named active_topic.asp AS WELL AS a file named active_topics.asp.  However, I am unable to find any file under 7.92 or 7.95 called active_topic.asp (singular).  Also, you should indicate that the adds_inc.asp file is located in the include folder.

Note: I only have a few mods but had to restore my old forum since I was getting errors when a user was trying to register for the first time (everything else seemed to work fine).
 
Finally, could you please give users some control over the CAPTCHA security function.  It is a great addition, but for me it is unnecessary given my forums location on an Intranet.  Hypothetically, I could see the benefit of having the function present for users at their initial registration (even for an Intranet), but it seems to be too burdensome for someone to have to use every time they login to the system.  I know this sounds like heresy to some forum users who have been hacked and are looking for some protection!  Ouch  I am just suggesting that admins be given control over when the security is required as well as whether it is required at all.
 
Thanks for your hard work. 
Great app!!!

Sorry in the rush to patch the forum I made a few mistakes in the version history file which are now fixed.

You can disable the CAPTCHA images by editing the common.asp file nad changing the following variable to false:-

blnLongSecurityCode = true

Chnage to:-

blnLongSecurityCode = false

What i do to fixed? Thanks!!
 
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'

Variable is undefined: 'strTxtEnterCAPTCHAcode'

/forum/login_user.asp, line 389



You need to update the file 'langauge_files/language_file_inc.asp' with the following:-

Const strTxtUniqueSecurityCode = "CAPTCHA Security Code"
Const strTxtEnterCAPTCHAcode = "Please enter the code exactly as shown in image format.<br />Cookies must be enabled on your web browser."

At attempt of viewing of active topics for the period till 16 o'clock inclusive there is a message on a mistake:
 
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'

Must pass parameter number 2 and subsequent parameters as '@name = value'. After the form '@name = value' has been used, all subsequent parameters must be passed in the form '@name = value'.

/wwf/active_topics.asp, line 312

 
 
If to choose last topicses for period Yesterday and later all works normally and the mistake does not arise. How to eliminate a problem?

The page has been fully tested in SQL Server and your error can not be replicated. It could be that you have a corrupted file, try reuploading the files again.

If this doesn't fix the problem, open a new topic with as much detail as possiable including what version you are upgrading from.

You will need to upload all the files in the CAPTCHA folder then also update the files:-

language_files/language_file_inc.asp
register.asp
login_user.asp

As there is also a security hole patched in version 7.95 you should consider upgrading your whole forum with the changed files listed in the version history file.

Hello all,

I had version 7.92 with SQL Server and I made the upgrade to version 7.95 yesterday.

I've changed each .asp files mentionned in the history.txt, changed the language file, and there is no script bugs Smile

BUT, now, instead of having the current active users, it seems that I have ALL the users connected during the day !

Normally, I have between 20-40 active users a day, but today (french forum), 232 !!!!:
