Forum Issues

[shadow_walker]

Did anyone have any trouble this morning/early afternoon with getting on the forums? On my home and work computer I keeped getting virus warning popups. Did somthing happen or was it just me?:confused:

[Michael_Zeora]

we all did... Streetz and I, and most others saw a redirection that wasn't suppose to happen by what ever other means... for me it looked like...

MVD -> vbfourms/index.php
www.google.com
www.google-counter.com
Done!

and it was a white screen with three characters on it (several people had a different result)

luckily, it's been solved by BB... I'm still wondering the exacts of the problem and fix, but I'm fine knowing the forums are back...

I just got a little worried when my virus scanner went off when I was trying to access the forums.

hah all CJS got was a

"<" in the far left corner....the rest was oblivion.....

yeah, now the bbcode upgrade is done too....

Soon we will be having skins back hopefully...

I got a nothing but a blank white screen with } in the corner all day.

It was torture!

Basically, the version of vBulletin was a little old and there was an exploit being manipulated that resulted in our host disabling a certain feature required for vBulletin. We've upgraded vBulletin to current and the host re-enabled this feature. All is well now.

I got a screen with a ( in the corner, haha. But i emailed Streetz about it so it wasnt that torturous for me, i played MK: Shaolin monks instead :)

[Streetz]

My Host also removed the problem in Apache that was part of the exploit. Thanks BB and my host. :D

man i was worried that the forums would have been shut down for like another week. thank god that didnt happen...good job BB.

[Artifactor]

For me all it was {square} < {square}

[Tekkactus]

Sure was convenient that BB returned to the forum just before this happened. Almost too convenient. :paranoid:

Anyway, I also received square < square.

It's more commonly known as the Seventh Sense. ;)

[stolin]

Haha, I never experienced any of this.
Thanks for working it out Will.

And is one square really less than the other?

[Artifactor]

yes for me thats what it look like

[lionden_56]

I joked to Streetz over instant message that since everyone saw a different symbol maybe there was some cryptic code or something. I personally saw a "{"

[Kozy]

Ooo! MDV conspiracy theories. good fun :D but is it just a joke? :paranoid: i think NOT!

[Chrome_Kaldra]

lol! Yes a conspiracy, quick everyone post what you saw!

Anyways, i got uh...[]<[] as well, like Streetz...

And i too was worried that the forums would be done again for like a week, that would really suck, but doesn't make a diff cuz i have final exams next week anyways! But it's good the forums are back up.

How long did it last? After the first few tries i simply hung out at the other fourms i go to and then i checked back later in the day and it was good...
