Website Updates and Suggestions
Posted: Sun May 01, 2016 5:38 pm
I wanted to suggest a bunch of things which can help the community grow and be overall more secure. Suggestions are as follows:
*Update the site phpbb version to 3.x
*Use a more modern theme design
*Install https certs using Let's Encrypt
*Change the stub for forums from phpbb to forum, then use .htaccess to redirect all phpbb to forum using wildcard redirect; meaning any current links will still work, and goto the new forum links.
*Use .htaccess to remove .php from your flat files.
If you want ease of use, you could also use a CMS to manage everything outside the forums. Wordpress is a suggestion. Bunch of others also, I started to play around with Grav for example since its much lighter than Wordpress and produces flat files. Only requirement is php 5.6.x+
