What is going on with the board?

Ok, here we go....

The fuckwit "hacker" struck again this time causing more damage than before.


In order to combat this, I took the forums down and have upgraded to the latest version of the forum software.

I'm going to leave this in place for a few days to see if dickface succeeds in breaking in again.

If all is well, then I will work on linking the gallery/rss parts of the site back in.

Sorry about all this folks :roll:

:LOL: As a result of the UKB being down I ended up registering on here to see what had happened. See you on the light side Bubba

I think I will leave it for a few days before posting any new topics just to be on the safe side.... unless Bubba thinks everything is ok now?
I can't seem to see peoples avatatars or smilies on this new board, is this just because they aren't loaded up yet, or there are some problems with the settings on my computer? The reason why I think the second one is most likely is because I can't see the pictures sometimes on Darkplaces forum.

Good one Bubba, a sterling effort for getting the board running again, it just goes to prove that there are some very sad lonely people out there
like cavers ............... no i mean Hackers (it's been a long day).

It should be ok to post again now - I'll take a backup today as a precaution.

Avatars have been lost, and only the basic set of smilies will be working again. I'll probably re-install the most popular ones again.

With c**tplaces its more likly to be a bandwidth problem. Or an option in your profile, which at the click of a rodent blocks downloading of avatars and signatures to speed loading.

Darkplaces pointed me at this vulnerability and I agree that this is probably how they got in:

http://publicd.ub.mng.net/pipermail/security/2005-March/000647.html

Versions of phpBB > 2.0.12 are patched so if you're running the latest version of nuke then you'll probably be fine...if you're not, upgrade now before you're forced to :shock:
