Security advice
I've noticed that a lot of sites which are using ProjectFork have turned on the debug mode which is a security risk!

When not logged in (and debug mode enabled), ProjectFork will ask you to download a logfile which contains important information like your Joomla version, ProjectFork version and other hints about your server and system config.

Hackers and script kiddies may take advantage of these information. So don't forget to turn debugging back off when you are done!

That's not a stupid question at all. 
But since you don't know how to turn it off, I assume you haven't turned it on ;) 
 
However...go to: Controlpanel->Settings. 
There's the option for debug.

Tobias, 
Please give me something about when you will make ProjectFork compatible with the stable J1.5.. 
I am waiting for it to begin a few projects. 
So please, just say something about the date..
