Here's the number one reason why I wouldn't use it:

In case you didn't know this, there are numerous "hacks" posted on the web to make IE6 support transparent PNGs, such as this one

While I do see some improvements, some other things I mentioned last time still haven't been addressed:

Messy queries
Sloppy code - line spacing and indentation seems to be random at best
Hard-coded language strings
Two lines of code where only one is required (you can set a variable AND escape the value in one line)
Relying on glob() to find attachments and thumbnails for deletion (the forum should know the EXACT name of the file it wants to delete)

Password-encryption stuff leaves a lot to be desired:
You don't bother looking for hash, so md5 will be used on many servers even though sha256 is available
Your method for detecting mhash is ridiculous (hint: function_exists()...)

I honestly don't see a need for such a ridiculous method of password encryption to begin with. If you're going to use sha256, then just add some sort of "salt" to the password and use the sha256 hash without bin2hex or base64 encoding (do you really need a 172-character password hash?).

If you still insist on using sha256, then your script should not install if it isn't available. Right now it only checks the password based on what method the server currently supports without checking the other method. This will result in all users having to reset their passwords in numerous cases (since the script currently doesn't support hash(), if PHP is upgraded, it reverts to md5 encryption; if the script was installed when mhash wasn't available, but mhash is now available, the script uses the fancy sha256 stuff...).

Other issues:
glob() did not exist until PHP 4.3.0
stristr() doesn't exist in PHP 4.x

MySQL 4.0.x did not support character sets or the ENGINE keyword (in that version, TYPE was used instead of ENGINE).

One other thing I forgot to mention in my last post.

You don't have anything on your site or your forum mentioning how someone can become a supporter, how much it costs, what the payment options are, etc. If you want to attract people to that program, you're going to need to provide them with that info.

That's on the Download Page but I can't remember where I saw the price, I think it was £10 a year, roughly $20US, although it's been a few days since I browsed the site and saw it.

Well, my reason for not trying it is on the front page. Looks like they can't be assed to make a decent informative website. The first line has a spelling error.....



EDIT: they are also clearly not supporters of IE either. (.PNG images) For me, developers of things like this need to consider all users.

They dropped support for IE6 so they could support transparent PNG images, which was a really stupid move in my opinion.

Seconded.

Yes. I wish everyone would use Fire Fox (numbers are growing quickly) I told all members on my board to get it as they would like it better... but unfortunately, the majority of internet users are still on IE 6 as my stats from google analytics state.

The numbers may be different here on Admin help type board as most of us know more about choices but you can't block out the majority of users because of .png issue. As stated above, there is a fix for it which I wasn't aware of until now. Thanks for the link!

So do i, i wish Microsoft would just stop wasting there money on trying to develop Internet Explorer and just admit that Firefox is the best web browser solution and make Firefox the default browser.

Yes i know this will never happen...

And that is a rather dumb move to drop support for IE6 to support transparent PNG images, as they are cutting allot of potential customers. They should offer support for both.

Looks pretty good but its nothing more than an IPB board with a different name.
