OK, In a Nutshel, the problem is this:

 

phpbb comes up with updated versions every 2 months or so, and I haven't updated in the year++ that this site has been up. The reason is because I would need to manually edit in all the code updates since I'm not running my own server, but renting space from my web-host on a shared server.

 

All of those manual code updates are really complicated to do because I have umpteen-gazillion modifications added to the basic phpbb software.

 

Meanwhile, I've been trying to make the site secure from automated spamming programs, which are getting to be quite sophisticated (and a really big pain in the ass!). Along the way, I've made some sort of error in the editing of a key file. At this point, I'm ready to swallow my pride and ask my web-host for some programming help in updating to the latest version, making the board as spam-proof as posssible, and, of course, getting rid of the "Gobbledygook" at the top of the page.

 

In the meantime, I think it may be best if I take the board off-line for now, and just have it forward to a page that explains our predicament, and links to this ezboard.

In addition to removing the Gobbledygook at the top of the page and the spam messeges, I hope the update also allows members to post replies to topics without getting the "messege sent to hell" screen.
