Don't be. Ignorance should never be impressive. This took about 5 lines of code to hack. I'm not providing the hack to you, however, as it was encrypted for a reason. If you need help with a bug, then you should ask, but asking for direct access to someone's proprietary information is just rude.
Here, as proof of the "hack" -- this wasn't very hard, really -- is the first few lines of code:
PHP Code:
include("../config.php");
$bgcolor = $_SESSION['bracketsbgcolor']; $bordercolor = $_SESSION['bracketsborder'];
if($bgcolor == "") { $bgcolor = "black"; } if($bordercolor == "") { $bordercolor = "white"; }
echo "
I can also tell you that they use a table-based layout and access a database table (possible prefixed) named "news" -- specifically, those fields with type='chatboard'
Edit: Let me add that this is not encrypted, but obfuscated using PHP functions. There's a difference: encryption encrypts things while obfuscation obfuscates them (i.e. obfuscation just "hides" something in something else while encryption actually encrypts it and requires some kind of decryption key)
