function admin_styles.php

Is the modules/forums/admin/admin_styles.php required for other important things in the forum or only for the styles&themes ?
I´m not absolutly clear about the function, but I have renamed the admin_styles.php because there are so always security problems.

Just the forum admin. I'm not aware of any security issues with that, but if you'd like to rename it, you'll notice immediately what no longer works.

What I did was add tracking to all the forum admin files. Anybody directly calling a forum admin file is silently logged and I get a report on it. So far I haven't banned anybody for it but I know they are there and quite a bit of detail about them. Smile
