Aardvark Topsites PHP

This is a very minor release. The only changes are some small bugfixes and some new translations.

A tool to backup database was added in the admin interface. A more secure captcha, with a link for users to get a new captcha if the user can't read the first one. The gateway page for the Fusion skin was redesigned. Sites may be banned by URL, IP address, username, or email address. An optional security question is asked on join to block spammers. By default, new members must be approved by the admin before they are listed, and changes to the title or URL of a site must be approved by the admin. A summary of overall statistics is displayed on the main page.

This release included a critical security fix for servers with magic_quotes_gpc disabled (most servers are not affected). Automatic deletion of inactive members is now working again. In button.php, rank calculating now ignores inactive sites. Character encodings in the installer/upgrader now work. Month names on the stats page are now translated into the default language instead of always being English. Ad breaks no longer break the page layout if they are directly below the final rank. Some minor HTML problems and a search query display glitch were fixed.

Version 5.1.0 used Unicode for all the
translations. This caused lots of problems for
people, so the translations were converted back to
their old character encodings.

When an edit form or join form contains errors, the user is now presented with inline error messages. An RSS feed of the top 10 sites (overall and by category) is now provided by feed.php. Admin now includes topical links to the manual for confusing options on the settings page. Google-friendly links can be disabled. An option to email the admin when a new review is posted was added. Custom pages make it easy to add static content to integrate with your topsites (FAQ, rules, etc.). A profanity filter was included. Overall stats are now displayed on the main page.
