I haven't released a theme in quite a while but now I have the time to start releasing themes regularly.

Renewal4 is a nice theme with matching forums, download and weblink graphics, and more. I rely on the extensive array of RavenNuke(tm) blocks and modules that users can access to help them build up their site. I offer a wide array of themes in different categories that cover most peoples needs.

Get your copy today at http://www.papamikecreations.net registration is free and only takes a few minutes to complete.

I am the first and longest running designer of RavenNuke(tm) themes, stop in and see what I have to offer.

And as always, I say Support RavenNuke(tm) in anyway that you can.

Oh, one more thing. I see some of my themes offered for download at other sites but I need to tell you that I upgrade my themes often so you should always download my themes from my site to ensure you are getting the most recent version.

Thanks, have a nice day! :)]]> 3798@http://www.ravenphpscripts.com RNThemes 2010-03-09T23:10:34-05:00 Posted by papamike http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3797 SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA38846

DESCRIPTION: rPath has issued an update for gzip. This fixes some vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a user's system.]]> 3797@http://www.ravenphpscripts.com Security 2010-03-08T19:14:35-05:00 Posted by Raven http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3796 From the PHPBB Group:

We are sorry to announce the immediate release of phpBB 3.0.7-PL1 to address a security issue which was introduced in 3.0.7, unfortunately the issue wasn't noticed during testing and has only surfaced a week after the release of 3.0.7.

We promised working feeds for phpBB 3.0.7. Sadly, we were not able to deliver on that promise - a critical bug in the permission handling for feeds slipped past. To all people who already have updated to 3.0.7, it is of critical importance to update to 3.0.7-PL1. Otherwise, it is possible for users to bypass permission settings under the following circumstances:

- Feeds are enabled
- Any of the posts or topics feeds are enabled
- The unauthorised user - or one of the groups they are a member of - has forum permissions set on a private forum
- If you have excluded a forum from the list of forums that provide feeds, it is unaffected

The fix for the issue is a single line change inside of feed.php, line 525 has changed from:

$forum_ids = array_keys($auth->acl_getf('f_read'));

to:

$forum_ids = array_keys($auth->acl_getf('f_read', true)); ]]> 3796@http://www.ravenphpscripts.com Security 2010-03-06T00:51:16-05:00 Posted by Raven http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3795 Read the full article from the PHPBB Blog at http://blog.phpbb.com/2010/02/18/moving-on-the-future-of-phpbb-development/

Over the last few weeks we have made a few important decisions, that we believe can positively impact phpBB development. These include changes to development infrastructure as well as our development model. I will briefly outline these changes here, more details will be posted on the blog or as an announcement soon.]]> 3795@http://www.ravenphpscripts.com PHPBB 2010-03-06T00:42:24-05:00 Posted by Raven http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3794 U-Prove, a powerful framework that couples strong privacy with high security for online authentication, has been released as an open source preview by Microsoft. Unfortunately, even open source is unlikely to ensure widespread adoption of this clever—and highly desirable—technology

In partnership with security vendors and law enforcement officials, Microsoft implemented “Operation b49″ and moved to the federal courts to get a temporary restraining order cutting off 277 Internet domains believed to be run by criminals as the Waledac bot.

According to Microsoft associate general counsel Tim Cranton, the action quickly and effectively cut off traffic to Waledac at the “.com” or domain registry level, severing the connection between the command and control centers of the botnet and most of its thousands of zombie computers around the world.

Waledac is one of the 10 largest botnets in the US and is responsible to distributing billions of spam messages around the world. According to Microsoft, the botnet is estimated to have infected hundreds of thousands of computers around the world and, prior to this action, was believed to have the capacity to send over 1.5 billion spam emails per day.

At this point, IE 6 in the enterprise is common, but it’s nonetheless surprising when Intel—Microsoft’s long-time partner—is still using the ancient browser.

In a blog post walking through its implementation of Windows 7, Intel talked a lot about the “heavy lifting” involved with moving from XP to Windows 7.

Turns out the browser is part of the heavy lifting.

Would this be classified as a "social" site? Feel free to discuss it in the forums if interested.

On Chatroulette, a new and controversial Web site, every click lands you in a face-to-face video conversation with a random stranger.

The setup is simple: Activate your webcam and click "play." Then, as people from all over the world pop up one at a time in a box on your screen, you decide whether or not to chat with them. If you don't like the looks of things, click "next" and the site shuffles you to someone new.

The people you meet could be friendly. During a recent CNN test of the site, a man from France popped up on the screen wearing a jester's hat and telling jokes in French. Two men dressed as skeletons were having a dance party to techno music and flashing lights. A slouched-over man in Tunisia said he was tired because he'd been on the site for four hours.
