tape Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 For a malware-free experience, there's always that one other board. You know... the one that rhymes with shmerrible shmacation. The one that lies dormant for months at a time? And that has literally two posts today, both of which are to say "hey, no virus here"? Wake me up when people ever use that board.

tokimedo Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 The management team here is amazing. The coding on the boards could just use a bit of work. No one pays to use these boards just chill until the problem is resolved. I never said we should get rid of the management team, I'm saying they should add more people, especially in other time zones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin848 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 My home computer is saying the website will attack. It didn't even occur to me until now that my work computer crashed on Thursday after visiting the website. I'm pretty sure thE websites got something. The only thing I was doing was browsing VC and working in Excel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradedOnACurve Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Only could come on here via my iPad. Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I'm on my iPhone right now and it's still clunky to browse. On home pc I use Safari and it blocks access advising it as attack site. On work laptop I use IE8 and have access but messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Only could come on here via my iPad. Meh. Same here, I can't get any desktop browsers (chrome or IE) to let me on the site for the last day or two. A lot of options like going to the last post of a thread give me a page not found error as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnightcity Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 So, it seems like we're gonna have to increase the security for registry. Cause this is getting out of hand. I couldn't tell you why we're suddenly getting so many bots joining, versus a month ago. Also, we're still waiting to hear from IPBoards about our upgrade. Its a cluster fucker.

sjb2k1 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 i'm getting reeeeally tired of clicking on the newest thread in the general overview and having it error out. or clicking on a liked post and having it error out. or typing in this really small box like i am typing in now. for the love of god fix it that is all.

You know what else sucks? When you're replying to a topic and using bold or italic or quotes, and if you have to hit backspace it jumps the cursor all over the place like it's possessed. I mean I don't make mistakes often, but still. Does that happen to anyone else? or is my computer really possessed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnightcity Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 IPBoards got back to us. We're completely the upgrade today, so hopefully we can clean out all the spam. I'll also be adding one more level of security for signups, to prevent more bots from joining the boards. We were also cleared by ANOTHER anti-malware site. So I'm really hoping all this will be done by the end of the week. We're working as quickly as possible here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokimedo Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Out of my frustration of not being able to go into topics, I exercised every avenue I could and I think I found a way around it. Sadly, it only works on a CPU, not the mobile site or the ipboard app. If you click on the arrow next to a topic title to get the preview, there will be a black button that says "go to topic". Click on that. I've found that even if a topic is giving me a 404 error, I can still get into it that way. Hope this works for others like it did for me.

midnightcity Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Honestly guys, we're doing everything we can here. It's not just us, there is a massive thread over at the IPBoards Support Forum with other boards experiencing similar issues. Someone found a whole in their software, exploited it, and now we're all paying the price. We're doing everything we can, but with every step we just keep digging up more and more shit. You gotta bear with us. This was a massive jolt to our system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokimedo Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Have you considered getting new moderators, if for spam regulation alone? Having moderators in different time zones would be ideal as well, so that at least one person of staff is on almost always. I know you guys are working diligently and trying your best, but it's incredibly difficult to manage a board of this size with just 4 people.... trevorxramage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you guys are working diligently and trying your best, but it's incredibly difficult to manage a board of this size with just 4 people.... yes, this will be happening. more on this in the coming days. I agree - but this problem started because of a flaw in IPBs code. So the spam was just a result of that. also, we've added a new hook to increase spam filtering based of not only iPBs spam library (which we already use) but also user submitted names from other board admins. Update: We have updated the forums. There should be no more broken code through out the site. I say should, please confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 my friend got a virus from here, two hours ago, FYI tim mccall, he posts here often. Can he verify that it came from here? Isn't it also possible that he picked up the virus already, saw the malware warning, scanned, and found it? Just wondering why, if there was a virus, there wouldn't be a massive outbreak with all the users on this site. My computer is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 MidnightCity, With my last post, I hit the "post" button but it didn't automatically reload the page with my input (leading me to post 3 times, then delete 2). Also, you can see the quote isn't right. Just sharin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
