A little while ago, David informed me that someone was trying to inject SQL using IceBB’s search function and it was triggering MySQL errors. Luckily, I had code in mysql.db.php that would e-mail the board administrator after 10 MySQL errors to let them know that something might be wrong. I took a look at the [...]

Well, like David, I too have been working on IceBB. I’ve mainly been focusing on the Admin Control Center, as it’s being redesigned and recoded for IceBB 0.9.2. I really like what I’ve come up with for the temporary skin, but maybe that’s just because it’s based on David’s excellent skin work. Here’s a quick [...]

Well I’ve finally gotten around to releasing 0.9. I didn’t get to finish as much as I wanted to because of time constraints, but it’s definitely worth upgrading.

IPB may have had it first, but it didn’t invent it, and it isn’t the only board that has it anymore. More soon.

Last night, about 11:45 when I was trying to go to sleep, I came up with an idea. Why not combine a two paned template editor (which I implemented recently) with an easy CSS editor. I drew up a prototype this morning from a rough sketch I drew last night, and I came up with [...]

I was a little bored, so I decided to give IceBB’s CAPTCHA an overhaul. A few hours (of work, about a day counting breaks), I got this:

Not bad, eh? Hopefully it will keep from getting cracked and it’s easy enough to read.

Maybe I can skin after all. What do you think?
