I have found this mod for phpbb: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=72381&sid=971f4e6c781831f545705d8b46db09fa&start=165#p3136484, but it only works for phpbb 2, not phpbb 3. You could upgrade it though.
This feature is also included in lots of other forum software, such as bbpress and vBulletin, and fluxbb looks like they will ...

You won't be able to achieve it straight out of the box.
However, there used to be some modifications that try to address exactly the situation you have:
Self Auth MOD
The Wizard's Self Auth Mod
Topics Only Visible to OP 0.8.1
The problem is most of them are a bit outdated (abandoned by the original developer), so you can't be sure they will work ...

You could append the user's ID or username as a part of a query string on the download link in your forum software's templates and periodically grep your webserver logs for requests on the download script and store username/file correlations -or- you could modify the download script to log to a file or update a database once a file is downloaded (if you take ...

hehe. oh pity my mind... i have been thinking of other alternatives like keycaptcha and others...
anyway this is temporary i think if the hacker knows what changes i made or if he ...

The first thing to do is make sure your version is up to date, you can check this in the ACP.
If it is up to date then there are a wealth of anti-spam mods you could install, find which one is the best for you.
Finally something I did (but the setup took some time to get right) was to run my site via CloudFlare which managed to stop a lot of spammy page ...

You could move your forum to a sub folded or sub-domain. With this method you'll be able to place your main message on your home page. Along with the ability to create any other pages needed.
Another method is to add a static message into the header of the login page and use the built in functions of phpBB to display the message only to users who are not ...

Please post the code which causes this error (line 226).
To try a shot in the dark you can check the cURL settings
See: Plugin Config in the JFusion Documentation Wiki.
It is also possible that you can not access the database or the database settings are incorrect.
See this screenshot about the database configuration in the JFusion Documentation Wiki.

Here is a link to a PDF (PHPBB3 admin guide especially from page 9 to 11) it will help you create group permissions for a specific "sub-forum" (for phpBB3 as written in the link name).
But if you're free to use any platform I recommend using Moodle Course Management System instead of PHP-BB in your case . It's a pretty powerful tool for...well online course ...

If you go to Administration Panel > General > User registration settings > Allow e-mail address re-use and set that to no, users wont be able to register using the email address of another member. So, if you ban someone, there email address can't be used again. Likewise, you can set that to yes if you want people to be able to reuse email addresses.

Yes. You must allow the sending group permission to mass PM and you must allow the receiving group (registered users for all users) to receive mass PMs in Manage groups.

Another option is to export all their email addresses and send out a newsletter to all of them letting them know of the upcoming updates and possible ...

This thread should help you, it is one of many converters you can find by doing a quick google.
I think this was the one I used when I moved a small phpBB install to SMF.

http://www.robotstxt.org/ - Google will request the robots.txt file before trying to index any page within your site. And make sure you don't have a bit like "meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"" else Google will ignore your page.
Google will index subdomains if you link to them from your main domain, but if your site is new, it will take time ...

Out of the box this is not possible, nor can I find any plugins that would give you this functionality.
The files do get saved on the filesystem sort of - if you view the files in /files these are the files attached to posts but without any meta data (this is what the database supplies) the link is the physical_filename column in the _attachments table.

I know that vanilla forums isn't on your list of forums that you are considering, though you should try it. It has almost all of the features you need, including voting (enabled by this plugin). The only feature that I'm not sure if they support is msn sign-in, though they support open-id (yahoo supports open-id), facebook, and google sign-in.
I haven't ...
