Securing phpbb2

development

Howdy

so im running a forum for my site (our-lan.com) and since i always seem to hear about forums being hacked and taken down, does anyone have some decent suggestions on how to secure it.

Im not really sure on where to start…

cheers

I run phpbb & the only thing I've done is use an obscure (alphanumeric) password for the administrator.

I can only make a basic recommendation, really:

Make sure you keep yourself informed on security bulletins regarding phpBB and also keep your installation of phpBB patched and up-to-date.

Yah - this is what I do as well. Make sure to subscribe to the phpBB mailing lists so that you get notified when new versions are released.
