Bob Marion writes "I/we now have PHP-Nuke 7.9 and are finding that it does not have Patched 3.0 or 3.1 and there are major security issues already with it. I have to say great job mr. burzi! Please DO NOT use 7.9 until these issues are worked on and resolved! Unless of course you want your site hacked to pieces! In a nutshell folks, the difference between 7.8 and 7.9 can been seen in one new function:
function filter($what, $strip="", $save="", $type="") { and a ton of bs fake patches."

64BitGuy writes "Again, this is an official warning to everyone! Do not use PHP-Nuke 7.9 unless you have overwhelming desires to be completely hacked (it took me about 30 seconds to hack this on my test domain) and you enjoy having your hosting provider ban your domain for abuse and resources consumption."

FB Writes: "Hello Nukers! PHP-Nuke 7.9 Final version is out now and available from here. This version includes a new variables validation and filtering system more effective and more secure, potential security vulnerabilities generated from the wysiwyg editor has been fixed, BBtoNuke 2.0.17, added banned IP edit function, improved search module internals, quotes and double quotes are now supported on all parts of the system, wysiwyg editor can be totaly deactivated from config.php file, users groups fixes to properly load the members modules, several fixes in the advertising system and many more.

Also, there is already a road map for the future version 8.0. Since it's a totaly new branch I planned lot of new features for that version. A new and redesigned administration system, more functional, more easy to use and more organization over its sections, new reorganization of Downloads module, more use of CSS style and many new features that all you'll love for sure.

The work of coding for the next version 8.0 will start in a couple of weeks since it requires lot of design first since the urgent need of a new administration system is one of the priorities for that release. You can expect improvements on almost all modules." Read More...

August 07th my spouse (Kim) received a phone call from the local sheriffs department regarding a Great Dane that had been dropped off a few miles away from us. Since we are known to have some of are own they called us and asked if we would pick him up and see what we could do for him. The alternative was for him to go to a shelter where he would most likely have been put down due to his size, breed and extensive health issues caused by neglect.  Read More...

(3) diffusion of innovations by users is low cost - let us make this happen" end of cit... Read More...
