Many a times we try to install a phpBB mod that we find on the internet but the installation goes bad. Sometimes the mod doesn’t work as described or sometimes other features of the phpBB board get corrupted and stop working. Although mod installation looks easy especially when it comes with all the help instructions but even if a single step is missed, the installation of the mod may go bad and the entire phpBB forum may go down.

It is generally advisable to get the phpBB mods installed by a professional, if you are not sure of how to do it. It is much more expensive to get a phpBB board fixed after a faulty mod installation than to get the original mod installed by a professional.

What to do if you tried installing a phpBB mod and it corrupted your phpBB board? Well, worry not! Just get in touch with us and we will be glad to take a look at your board and advice you the best possible way ahead! We also offer competitive phpBB mod installation service, in case you are looking to get the phpBB mods installed by a professional company.

Are you planning to run (or already running) a successful forum with hundreds of active members and thousands of posts? So you have already installed and configured the phpBB software to provide the base for the discussion board. Now the next step would obviously be to integrate some advertisement service to earn some money out of the project.

We can help you integrate Google Adsense into your phpBB board. Not just that, we can also help you integrate other advertisement services like Yahoo, MSN, Adbrite or any other service you may have signed up for. We can even integrate a custom banner rotation system for your phpBB board so that your members or advertisers can have their banners rotated at specific locations on your website and discussion board.

phpBB is a great open source software to start a discussion board on your website in matter of minutes. But it is very important that you run the latest copy of phpBB on your website. Older versions of the software are known to have serious vulnerabilities that can compromise the security of your website. Some of these vulnerabilities allow hackers to

  • Send spam emails from your website
  • Gain access to other pages and directory of your website
  • Deface your website
  • Install virus or trojan on your website
  • Install tracking code or advertisments.
  • Redirect traffic to a different website without your knowledge

and much more…

So, how do you check if you are running the latest version of phpBB software. Its pretty simple! Login into the administration panel of the phpBB software. On the main index page itself, it will display a message saying whether your board is “up to date” or whether it requires upgradation.

If you are unsure how to check this, or if you need assistance in upgrading your phpBB forum, contact us today for a free quote.

Are you looking for a custom phpBB theme? Or do you like an open source phpbb theme but would like slight customizations to it? We have many years of experience working with phpBB themes and its customization. We can integrate your forum into your website so that the forum look and feel is the same as that of the website. The website’s design can be easily integrated into the phpBB custom theme design. We can even update your logo displayed on the phpBB board to the one that is displayed on your site. Custom headers and footers can be loaded on the phpBB site design.

phpBB theme customization not only includes style and color changes, but also changes to the layout, width, height, columns, spacing etc. We also document these changes separately so that upgrading a heavily moded custom phpBB forum becomes relatively easy.

Contact us today and let us know what customizations you are looking for. We will be glad to present you with a free quote!
