1) Remember to update your forum software.
2) Remember to make backups of your forums regularly instead of sporadically.
Luckily we only lost a week of posts after www.flashmx2004.com/forums was recently hacked. All the posts were gone one evening, but thank goodness we restored most of them after a day or two. And while we were at it, paid for the latest version of invision power boards (as opposed to continuing on with the freebie version).
Definitely worth it - the forums are much better now, and safer (well, as much as a forum can be). A few bugs are gone, the UI is a bit better.
So...
Back up your forum posts, update your forum software. And, the new version of invision is nice.
Anyway, on with helping people learn Flash!
