I have just recently uploaded an IPB forum to my server. I have another forum in PHPBB, and will be contverting it to the new IPB forums.. Now, the question I have is, I was wondering if an admin would happen to know how to change the logo background on an IPB forum. I have tried to change it on my server, but it just stays the same. Any help would be appreciated. Also, do you think you could email me? You should have access to my email address in the Admin CP. If not, would you mind sending me a PM or messaging me through Yahoo! messenger? My Yahoo! IM ID is: wolvesforchrist Thanks and God Bless.. --I didn't know where to place this topic.. I hope it is in the right place..--

Hello All.. Thank you all for your prayers.. The thing I said I would try failed, but I have found something that works. Whenever I get the urge, instead of going to a porn site, I go to a Christian chat. There I can get it off my mind, and ask for prayer. It seems to be working, but I do need your prayers. This is probably the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Thank you all for your prayers.. It is much appreciated. May God Bless you all.. --Sorry I haven't been on in what seems like ages.. I have been very busy lately.--

Hello You All, Sorry I have not posted in so long. I have been extremely busy. Thank you all for your prayers. They are slowly being answered. I decided that since nothing else was working, I'd try something new. When I was younger, I had this bad habbit (not really going to mention it... nothing bad, just didn't want to keep that habit). I didn't stop right away. Instead, I lessened the amout of time spent doing it. Each time I did it, it would be a longer period of time before I would do it again. Finally, it was so long, that I completely broke the habit. The way I figured it with this porn problem, it would be better to do it every now and then, and eventually break the habit, than to try and try to stop and get nowhere. So, that is what I am planning. I have given this some thought, and I think this plan will work. Please continue to keep me in your prayers as I try to break this habit, because I know that they will eventually be answered. Thank you all for your prayers. God Bless,

Thank you so much for sharing. I will go to the site next time I am online (I'll be going in a minute). Also, I just had a little experience... I just had a very weak moment and was actually on my way to yet, another porno site when it just stopped downloading. As I was trying to get it to come on, I heard someone open our front door (I am alone right now). Well, that freaked me out, so I hurried up and closed the window. I went into the living room, then the kitchen, and then all of the bedrooms & bathrooms. There was nobody there. All I can say is that it must have been God that let me hear that so I could hurry up and close it. I will definitely remember this moment the next time I may have a weak moment. In answer to your question, I live with my parents. Yes, moving it into the living room would be perfect, but they already have one in there. My parents have thiers, and I have my own. Having one of those programs that sends possible porn site viewings to an accountable person would be great, however, I don't know of anyone. I guess I do need someone I can be accountable to, huh? I will try to find someone. Well, got to go. I'll try looking at that site later on tonight. Thanks again for sharing. God Bless.

Hello All, My brother is in the Army and I just got through reading one of his letters. I was so deeply moved by what he wrote that I was encouraged to go on. So, I am now subscribing back onto this topic, and will try harder than I have ever tried before. Please keep me in your prayers as I travel this journey. I will continue to let everyone know my progress. Thanks for listening and trying to encourage me. I do feel that is also partly why I am encouraged. I am greatful for all of your advice. Thanks and God Bless,

Hello All, I have decided to leave this forum. It is doing me absoloutly no good. Please do not email or send private messages to me. I will also be unsubscribing to this topic. Thank you all for trying to help me out. Also, sorry if I have caused any discouragement or burdened anyone. I will get through this eventually, but I don't believe it will be here. Thank you all again for trying to help me out. God Bless,

Some of you say "get rid of your computer"... Maybe I have not made myself clear. I cannot get rid of it. I have to have it. Some of you say "get rid of the internet". I cannot do that either. I am currently in charge and running two websites. I need it for email for both sites. Someone also said to use a public computer for the internet. Cannot do.. Need a program on my computer to make changes to both sites, and I live much too far from the closest public computer. Nearly an hour away. Oh, did I mention that I do not drive? I have stated before about how I cannot get rid of my computer. Please do not ask me to do that again. I do not like repeating myself over and over. Now that you all have the reason, I hope it will not come up again. Yes, I have thought about doing that, but like I said, I just cannot do so. LindaInChrist - Thank you for your advice. Much appreciated. It makes sense. Thanks.

Oops! I forgot something... I will also place my Bible on my desk so when the temptation comes, I will see only God's word in front of me. This will also remind me to read it. Thanks again for all your advice. God Bless,

Hello You All, Sorry I haven't replied in a while. My grandpa had a heart attack and had to have a quadruple bipass. He is doing better now, but is very weak. Anyway, I tried again and utterly failed. I cleared my computer out of all porn just to be filled again by more. I deleted them again, and hopefully I won't fill it back up. "LCPGUY", your advice looks good (not to say anyone else's is bad)... I will try that. It does make perfect sense. "Speechless" - You ask how bad I want to be free of this... EXTREMELY BAD. More than you could ever imagine. "koppen" - Porn blocker? I didn't know there was something called that. Are there any free ones? I was just thinking... Maybe I can find a few hundred blockers, and use the trial versions until they run out, then go to the next one, and the next one, ect. Of course, I don't know of more than about 5 or 6. Well, I will try my best to rid myself of this with God's help. Please continue to keep me in your prayers. Well, I should be going. It is really late, and I need to get some 'shuteye'. Thank you all for your advice. God Bless,

If no action has been going on, then I wouldn't be on this forum asking for help... Why do you think I am asking if there are any free internet filters? I have tried, that is the whole point. Yeah, I can see where you are coming from if I haven't tried to discipline myself. But the thing is, I have tried, and utterly failed. Thank you for sharing...

Thank you all for your quick response... In answer to the first question, yes, I accepted Christ at the age of 9, strayed away and came back to Christ at age 14 (after the porno thing had already started). I have not turned away since that time. This struggle has been going on for a little over 4 years. I will say this, that I have not said a word about my struggles to any person. Due to past relationships I don't really have any true friends. Yes, I know Christ is my friend, and I think He is the only reason I haven't given up yet. "Saved by Grace" - Now, about the filters... The reason why I said 'free' is because I currently do not have a job. Basically, I have no money. The money I had was used in helping out a family member who was in need. If I had money, I probably would spend the $50 for it. "other one" - As for the 12 step processes, it may work for some, however, I do not think that will work on me (can't really explain why). "Shelby" - I have noticed that staying around others does help. I just hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it. "godrulz" - Talking to a pastor, I think, would not be a good idea for me. Yes, I do see how talking would help, but there is just no way I can. Like I said earlier, I've had bad experiences with friendships & realationships. Thank you for your prayers and for the help... It is taking a lot for me to share this...

Hello There, I am very much ashamed to say that when I was only 14 years old, I got hooked on pornography... I don't know what to do.. This is hindering my walk with God and also schooling and family relationships. This has also just about completely numbed my mind. I have tried so hard to rid myself of this but have failed over and over. I prayed to God for help, but I feel like He has not responded or hasn't heard me. Please, I need some help... I was thinking maybe there was a free internet/email filter somewhere, but I haven't found any yet. Again, Please, I need some help.
