what'd you do? >: (
In terms of security features, I enabled suPHP. It basically runs PHP through CGI, and runs the scripts as the other rather than as the apache user. So if somebody compromises one site, they don't automatically get access to others.
Ah, yeah. That's kind of what I figured. The host I used to be with did that, and it seemed to cause all sorts of performance issues. Of course, you're not hosting dozens of people on your box, so I'm sure it doesn't matter. Just a story. 
When I enabled it before, it caused issues on the higher traffic sites, so I only enabled it on the smaller ones. This time, I enabled it on everything except skullsecurity.org, because that's the one that gets Slashdotted on occasion.
It is significantly worse than straight php, though, because everything goes through cgi which is ass slow.
You totally fucked up my signature, though. THANKS A LOT!
Hmm, that's interesting considering I didn't modify SMF at all. It must be Apache or MySQL doing something different. Is that a unicode/utf8 problem?
Yeah -- it's almost definitely an encoding problem. I'd imagine that it was some sort of unicode.
Yeah, dunno. If you edit the signature, can you put the characters back?
I don't know if it's Apache, MySQL, the OS, SMF, or something else breaking it, and I'm not sure how I'd troubleshoot that.
