I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that. I really like some of the features, but overall I am having a hard time getting used to it. Of course I might just be suffering from the old dog new tricks syndrome.

Thanks Thomas That's a good game!!! If I hadn't gotten a phone call, I would have probably spent the rest of the night playing it.

You have to select the appropriate database first. You do that with the drop down in the left frame. Personally, I would remove the spelling cow script changes before making any database changes. Secondly, you do not want to drop any tables, just a field in the phpbb_users table. Also, please note that this having that field in the users table probably won't cause any harm, so the database change in removing the spelling cow mod, while ideal, is not critical or essential in returning your forum to its prior to mod state.

One other thought -- You probably already know this, but if you choose to back out the database change, be sure that you remove the script changes first.

I tried the Spelling Cow mod on a phpbb2 message board about a year ago, and didn't like it either. I just checked the install file for the mod version 1.6.0, and it looks as though the only SQL change done by this mod is adding a field `user_autospell` to the 'phpbb_users' table. The easiest way to remove it, if you do not feel comfortable with SQL, would be through phpMyadmin. In the left frame of the phpMyadmin screen, click on the text link phpbb_users (not the icon to the left of the text link). That should display the structure of the phpbb_users table, which should look like this: Find the field 'user_autospell'. Check the box in that line, then scroll down to where you see Check/Uncheck All with selected ... (series of icons) Do not click the check/uncheck links, but click the X icon. This will bring up a confirmation box (READ THE ACTION in the box) then you can confirm the action. PRIOR to doing this, though, it would be a good idea to make a backup of your forum database through cPanel. Then if you mess something up, you can easily restore the database through cPanel. Please note: cPanel is the best way to back up your phpBB2 forum database if you have modified your board, because the backup through the forum admin panel will only back up the core phpBB database tables. Now, if you really don't want to do all this, then just delete the script changes in the mod and leave the database alone. Having that field in the users table shouldn't do any harm, since the spelling cow mod is the only script that queries that field. I hope this helps. --Bob

Yikes!!! Thanks for the info Thomas.

I just spent waaay too much time playing that!!!

If any of you use LimeSurvey 1.50 - 1.52, there is a security vulnerability. The good news is that LimeSurvey.org has released an updated 1.52+ with a fix. Here is the information that I received in an email from LimeSurvey: We found out about an Remote File Include hack for LimeSurvey . Affected Versions: LimeSurvey 1.50 to 1.52(plus) until 2007/10/15 This security hole affects you only if your register_globals PHP setting is set to ON). Have a good day, --Bob
