So I noticed that a couple of the phpbb sites I ran all of a sudden got attacked by large amounts of spam. I found this interesting because it happened to a couple sites and we had never gotten any spam before. I went into IRC and it turns out that a lot of people have been under attack all of a sudden. I am currently looking into a way to get recaptcha working on phpbb3, and it's my hope that, that would remedy the issue.

If you use phpbb3 than you know the "This message has been posted successfully." page that shows up whenever you post a message that after 3 seconds redirects you to your post. I found this quite annoying and was looking for a way to have it just bring you to your post. I found out how and all you have to do is edit one line of code. Here's how to do it.
