We are using HTML5 APIs. Always. Plupload is based on multi-runtime pollyfills for XMLHttpRequest L2 , File and Image APIs. So when there"s no HTML5 available in the browser, we emulate it ourselves.
mOxie (combined code-name for pollyfills) is completely standalone and available separately.
Drag"n"Drop Files from Desktop
Files not only can be picked from browse dialog, but also can be dropped directly from the desktop. In some browsers, mostly in those based on WebKit, it is possible to drag and drop whole folders.
Notice: feature will not work in some legacy browsers.
Access Raw File Data
Since we emulate as much of HTML5 as possible, we are able (among other things) to provide access to raw file data, even in such environments that do not normally support it. One of the biggest benefits of this is that we can display the thumbnails instantly, right as you select the images in the dialog or drag&drop them from the desktop.
Shrink Images on Client-Side
In some cases you would want to upload the image only to turn it into a tiny thumbnail or avatar (like 90x90). Then why waste the bandwidth? Wouldn't it be great if you could do it right there, on client-side, just before the actual upload? That's exactly what we can do. This feature can be applied in a broader scope than just avatars, but that"s where it is at its best.
Upload in Chunks
Files that have to be uploaded can be small or huge - about several gigabytes in size. In such cases standard upload may fail, since browsers still cannot handle it properly. We slice the files in chunks and send them out one by one. You can then safely collect them on the server and combine into original file.
As a bonus this way you can overcome a server"s constraints on uploaded file sizes, if any.
Translated to 30+ Languages
It started with just several, and now we already have tens. In order to manage them better and avoid common mistakes and typos as much as possible, we moved our internationalization (i18n) facilities to Transifex. If you think that translation for your language can be better or your language is not in our database at all, you are welcome to contribute. We will include the translation in all subsequent releases.
Crowd marketing is the attraction of targeted visitors from thematic discussions on forums, blogs, social networks, as well as question and answer services and video services.
This direction is becoming increasingly popular. When used correctly, crowd marketing has an excellent effect in increasing traffic and is safe for the site.
Do not confuse ordinary manual spam of one or two sentences with a link and crowding. They differ in the same way as a junk site from a quality one.
I have noticed more than once that, after reading a useful comment, I went to the author’s website and then subscribed to it. It happens that the information in a comment is even more valuable than in the post itself. It is precisely such comments that need to be emphasized.
Crowd marketing requires an investment of time. If time is limited, you can use various services and programs.
So here is my selection of useful solutions for crowd marketing.
Free tools
A regular Google search is great for finding topical discussions (as is Yandex search).
Enter the required request. Through the menu "Search Tools - All Time" we display only recent discussions:
Depending on the number of results, you can choose different options - from a year to 24 hours.
As a result, you will receive all the latest materials at your request.
At this point, I could easily move on to the next point, but the kindness and love for small details of old man Globator knows no bounds :) Until I tell you in detail, I can’t calm down 😉 .
Using search queries alone when searching for discussions is often not enough; you will not find all the materials you need.
In order to get the maximum number of discussions, it is advisable to use advanced search operators.
For example, to find forums on your topic, we ask the following queries in Google (instead of the word “topic” we use the name of the desired topic, for example, “football”, “fitness”, “yoga”):
topic forum
forum topics
topic "Powered by vBulletin"(forums powered by vBulletin)
topic "forumdisplay"(forums powered by vBulletin)
subject "IP.Board Forum"(on the IP.Board engine)
"showtopic" topic(on the IP.Board engine)
theme "Powered by phpbb"(on phpbb engine)
topic "Created based on phpBB"(on phpbb engine)
topic "viewtopic.php?f="(on phpbb engine)
theme "Powered by PunBB"(on PunBB)
subject "viewtopic.php?id="(on PunBB)
theme "Powered by SMF"(on SMF)
theme "index.php?board="(on SMF)
To find forums only in the desired domain zone, for example, in ru, before queries use the following construction:
site:.ru
To make it look like this:
site:.ru construction "Powered by vBulletin"
Or like this (to search only sites in the by zone):
site:.by health "Powered by phpBB"
Instead of the name of the topic, you can use the search query you need, for example:
site:.ru foundation construction "Powered by vBulletin"
You can use this option:
site:.ru "recommend hosting"(search only on sites in the ru zone)
Or this:
site:.ru inurl:viewtopic "recommend hosting"(search by topics on forums in the ru zone)
Other examples of using extended operators:
intitle:fitness(search for pages that have the desired query in the title)
inurl:blog(search for pages whose addresses contain the word "blog")
what air conditioner *(search for all queries that begin with “what air conditioner”):
Mikhail Shakin - website(the minus sign in front of the site allows you to get results without this site)
In principle, you don’t have to remember extended operators, but simply go to Google’s advanced search:
Or Yandex:
After this, you will have access to advanced information search options.
An excellent service that will allow you to receive information by e-mail about all new materials that are published on the Internet using the keyword you specify.

Recently, a number of vulnerabilities were found in PunBB - PHP inclusion and SQL injection.
Vulnerability allows remote user to execute arbitrary SQL
commands in the application database. A remote authorized user can
execute an arbitrary PHP script on the target system. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input processing in the script.
"profile.php". With the "register_globals" option enabled, the remote
the user can execute arbitrary SQL commands on the database
applications. There is a vulnerability in the handling of pun_include tags. Remote user
can download and execute arbitrary PHP script on the target system.
Forum developers never cease to delight ordinary people with new versions
their products, and ordinary people, in turn, use the resources of simple servers
scriptkiddy. Just the other day, 2 new critical bugs were discovered in
popular punbb forum by a man named Stefan Esser.
And now I will try to explain how it all works.
First, you need to raise your rights to administrator using sql-injection.
Open the page in the browser
