Note that this forum runs a fork of esoBB, which means we can get quicker bugfixes. When patches are finished, I will try to contribute them upstream.

Currently known bugs:

  • Flood checker making invalid queries and causing error 500 - partially fixed in the fork (by commenting out the faulty code); a real fix would require changing the database schema to account for IPv6
  • The email regex is too strict - partially fixed in the fork; note that the current regex in the fork doesn't account for all possible emails (especially ones with quoted local-parts) and the old regex is still scattered across various files.
  • RSS feed returns error 500 - fixed by renaming the plugin to avoid collision of class names, patch submitted upstream.
  • Many database values are unsigned 32-bit ints which could overflow - more of a risk than a bug, perhaps it's not really significant; note that php only supports directly handling 64-bit integers on 64-bit processors as of now, AFAIK.
