Admin Helper — admin toolbox for phpBB

Admin Helper bundles in a single extension several practical administration and moderation tools I wanted at hand to run the forum.

What it does

  • Hardened mass-email with one-click unsubscribe (RFC 8058 compliant)
  • Audit logs for unsubscribes plus restoration tools
  • Cron_lock hardening — a watchdog releases stuck locks
  • Full post bodies + non-inline attachments in author search results
  • Internal moderation notes on each post (visible to moderators only)
  • AI-image declaration and automatic detection on attachments
  • Forum access gate — restrict forum visibility by post count
  • Live server load overview at the bottom of the board index, visible to admins and moderators only

The server load overview

A block refreshed every 10 seconds at the bottom of the board index shows: load 1/5/15 min, Apache workers used/total, active sessions by type (members/guests/bots), req/s traffic, RAM used, MySQL connections, Apache uptime. The block turns orange beyond 0.7/CPU or 60% workers, red beyond 1.5/CPU or 85% — handy to spot saturation from scraping at a glance.
