Site Trashed by Hackers; Back Now

#1 Post by erron » Mon Feb 07, 2005 6:30 am

Had a crap weekend after the site got targeted by hackers :x and my internet Host pulled the forums. It is back now, but you won't be able to do much for a while except post. Missing functionality at the moment is:

1) You can't attach graphics to posts
2) The Albums are not working yet
3) avatars are missing

Hope to have these back shortly, thanks for your patience...

:(

Just another thing to note, with the case-sensitive name the email notifications sent prior to the change are no longer valid links.

Glad to see it is back up promptly - other forums and sites have been down for ages following attacks... (tossers.....)
sssshhhh.... they are watching

hmmm...
and even the notifications it is sending out now has the wrong capitalisation. Your response above prompted an email with this link url: http://www.ozbow.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=10902#10902

....which takes you off into silicon nothingness

**editted** - appears fixed at 2.12pm ~ with website changed back to lowercase. Now just to get the pics, avatars and emoticons back .

Graphics capability is taking a while. Bear with me.

Graphics is back. Thank God; that's the worst module to re-install, out of the way!

Nice work - looking good - with the pics back Norman's bow making thread is suddenly making more sense.
