About the instruction to change passwords: have you considered a mass email? I think we did that after the forum hack.

Our email is on GMail, and I am afraid that mass email may cause it to be block.
If I remember correctly, GMail has changed its rules regarding sending more than 5,000 letters per day.

What's the statistics?
How many users are registered?
How many have their password changed recently?
How many mails are we sending already due to forum posts?
What is the real limit on the mail account?

Today I will have to write a huge bunch of SQL queries... but all of them will be to obtain statistics on work.
I’ll probably get to the forum database later and maybe make a selection of statistics of interest.

PS working with MySQL console is true masochism (for me).

Well, the process has finished. There might be a couple of instances I didn’t find, but certainly the majority of links should now be updated. We can probably do any others by hand now.
Maybe I found something that is not yet looking right. I am unsure if more links show the same problem.

Looks to me as though that BB thread has been lost in the transfer.

It is now here: viewtopic.php?t=7210

(Found by "Advanced Search" for Screet as author and looking for all threads where he was the author of the topic title - almost every OXP has its own thread in the Expansions chunk of our BB...

It did not get lost, as it still is available with thread id 7210. But the first part of the URL (the domain name) is wrong.

Joining the praise, and also +1 for having RSS enabled too!

app.php/feed
is this enough?
phpBB has only feed in Atom format - no RSS :(

Enough (Is Enough ;) ) to be properly configured with Seamonkey/Thunderbird (and I'd presume other mail apps too).
