I'm confirming the popup box again, but I was told it was put in for an extra layer of protection when accessing your account.

It's annoying and unnecessary. Why do it for the quotes page and not private messages? Take it off.

The whole site turned into a scam //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

At least there's nothing valuable here.

Keep this thread on topic please.

The point of this thread is that due to negligence on the Admin's part, the site is holier than Jesus. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

That was my point. I'm on topic.

Yes, I was the one who let the site be hacked. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Whodunnit is not the issue.

We're talking about 2 different things. I realize what's going on now with the "quotes notifications" box asking for a password. That should not be there.

Other security was put in and I assumed this was what the issue in question was.

Fixing this now. The password box doesn't seem to have any action, but it still should not be there.

Also, as far as I'm aware the forum software was kept up to date for vulnerabilities and security holes. Although it's a few years old, doing a full upgrade to a newer version would cause quite a bit of downtime and headaches. That is why we're still on this older version. FYI, most other large sites are on even older outdated versions than we are, because of the pain of upgrading. Issues like this happen from time to time, unfortunately.

Had to run out of the office yesterday. But I'm not familiar with that.

To the hacking situation, having a few more experts look at everything, we're still assessing and repairing the issues. Unfortunately, it's taking a bit longer than I had hoped.

Still working to resolve this issue. I've also contacted the script writer of this plugin to let them know about this potential exploit.

Looks like it's all cleaned up? All my notifications have been cleared.

Disabled the plugin until we hear back from the developer unfortunately. I know it *****, but will get it taken care of asap.

This is all being true, but the concern is the modifications done and not the forum software its self.

I admin backends for many illegal warez sites larger then this site, but in the end we chose stabillity over features.

You have to understand your current setup needs work especially that you own a high profile domain due to its keywords.

Please while you fix the backend, fix the frontend also.

Change the moderators and remove curse word blocks.

The less trouble upfront the less enemies youll have.
