In reply to Pam Seibert. Thanks Pam - why not just put a link directly into your post rather than create the need for a custom search for ABC post under subheading XYZ where you might find a red link if you look?!?! :-)

I need help everytime updates PhBB are added. Is there a way to make this process easier. I don’t think my website has all these amenities. It sure would be great to have CMS.

My forum is separate from my web page. Maybe I need to talk to someone at OurChurch.com about the possibility of having this new innovation.

Hi Rach,

That must have been quite an experience! Thanks for the warning but I do want to reassure our readers that, thanks to diligent monitoring by the open source community, such events are rare. That is why we recommend software that was developed by an active community, and why we sign up to receive email updates from them whenever a threat is reported.

I’m not sure that a CMS is any less secure than any other software, such as a phpBB forum, but you do have to stay alert and not procrastinate about updates.

OurChurch.Com’s servers are backed up daily, but it is still important for people who use a CMS, forum, guestbook or any other program that uses a database to back up their sites regularly and retain copies of their files “just in case.”

Thanks for writing!
Pam

I somehow missed the price here. I have very little money and money is a big deal and I sure don’t see anything regarding the cost of this.

The only con is that it’s much more easily hacked. I had one hacker point my CMS-ran Christian site to a site in Turkey with an anti-bush comment gracing the page before it forwarded. I stopped using CMS on that site in particular.

Some of the programmers release updates and security fixes in a more timely manner.

Be sure to back up!
