Oh, the pain!

I know, you're all completely nuts anyways, so i'm sure you were curled up in the fetal position, shaking uncontrollably for the past 24 hours or so, but it's all over (mostly).
For some reason, the version of phpBB2 i had installed was vulnerable to a widespread attack that it should have been immune to. I'm not sure why, but because of this, i've installed a fresh version of the BBS software, with no modifications other than the smartDark theme. I'll add other stuff, most notably the quick reply feature, if everything goes well.
So, sorry for the inconvenience, but perhaps it was a mixed blessing. I'm sure you may have spent more time with the family, or car, or whatever else you do.
