i understand what you are saying but there are many sites like invisionfree that all run on 1.3 without any problems so this is more likely todo with what the admin has done to the site than the script itself. Thats why i suggested a mysql clean up.

1.3 has vulnerabilities as well. It's not a good idea to keep using an outdated script simply because you don't want to pay to upgrade it. If they don't want to pay for the new version, they need to switch software.
And Invisionfree isn't just invisionboard. I'm sure it's a hacked version of it to run the way it does. You also don't know which version of Mysql and php are running there. This needs to be updated to the latest or removed rather than patched up slightly. I mean come on, the one they are using is 3 years old and 1.3 hasn't been updated since 2.0 came out.
