According to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Special:Version your server is seriously out of date:
MediaWiki 1.6.8 (not even the newest version of that branch, but 1.6 was EOL'd in early 2009)
PHP 4.4 (EOL'd in August of 2008)
MySQL 4.1.15 (EOL as of the end of 2009).
Why are you using such ancient and insecure software still?
Site is outdated

Hello Frank,

You can see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.6 for information on security issues fixed in newer versions of the MediaWiki 1.6 branch. There's plenty of info on their website about changes in the other branches since then.Brummelchen wrote:because it works? ^^

Also, "because it works" is the dumbest excuse ever for not updating something.
I assume then you are also using a horribly outdated version of phpBB because neither 3.1 nor 3.2 support PHP 4.4.
It doesn't matter why I care. The more important question here is why those who can do something about it don't care.
