The forum version has been upgraded and currently in testing stage. We will be installing the SHOUTBOX and any other mod shortly.

Thanks.

Mod note- Also report any errors to the mods that you find and we will report them to the admin. Also at this time until fixed report all spam or illegal posts to the mods that are online and they will be fixed from there.

Error's Already known- Report Post function is down

Shoutbox is down (be install later on).

What this upgrade includes-

Basically its a security patch to counter the new SQL injection that happen last week along with other security fix as well. For further Info check IPB forum what what else this patch does.

Ohhh now you post it, lol ok thats kool i cant really tell the differense though, is it just tighter security for this version?

[Saint_Michael]

yes this is a security patch to fix that nasty sql injection that happen last week and some other minor security stuff as well.

ALSO Make sure to read the first post as it will be updated as the time goes by untill we are running back to normal.

Lol. Okay thanks. I was trying to figure out why I first couldn't see my credits, and then I oculdn't view the shoutbox. I was on when you updated it. amazing! No downtime. I was posting while you were doing it. So I am impressed. Keep up the good work. I will look forward to that shoutbox again! Thanks for the updates.

So someone injected the site here last week?

We patched IPB Gaming just in the nick of time, last week some people tried to hack us but we were already patched up...

[Saint_Michael]

yeah it was a new sql injection by exploiting the xss loop hole and we got tag thats what this upgrade is pretty much for.

[Sprnknwn]

Oh, cool. Yesterday I was just thinking about why there was no shoutbox. I haven´t noticed any problem.

[JC05]

Whoa man. I was getting worried for a minute there. I thought I had been banned from the shout box or something. I was freaking when i couldn't see it when i signed in. But i can't tell the difference. What changed?

[matto]

quickly quickly install the shoutbox!! House is about to be on.

[icemarle]

Hmm... No wonder I didn't see the shoutbox yesterday. I was thinking I was banned, but I overruled it since it happened before. It's not that disturbing, thankfully...

[Albus Dumbledore]

yeah same here, at first i figured i got banned and that i was not aloud to even view the shoutbox, but OpaQue deleted my questionair post about that and posted this...so then i knew >_< and i see it is still not up darn matto we couldn't talk about the excelent house...

[arcalypse]

Well, I think that the upgrade is worth it because I have been hearing nothing but talk of it's features and easy-to-use iinterface. Hope it is true in Trap's case.

[Sinari]

Oh yes. It's very impressive. How else would we ramble on about random things and talk to our interesting friends who watch the same crazy programs as us?

[Saint_Michael]

let stay on topic people, this topic is for reporting any problems you may have found that are not listed that the admin or mods have not found.

[matto]

Problem: The shoutbox's spam filter thing seems to be turned off.

[OpaQue]

Great! IPB releases another update... :-/ !@##$

[gameratheart]

That's IPS for ya... always patching and updating and evverything, and in the end just annoying all of their customers.

I personally think that IPB is pretty much comparable to Microsoft - they both use the same strategy (get things up quickly and then start releasing loads of patches ). And just when you think everything is sorted...

Ok...its been like 1 week, and I know that the admins are busy and stuff. But when is the report button going to be fix. If you need to install that mod, I can do it, just give me temp access and it will be done in like 5-8 minutes. It took me 6 mins on my site, to get the thing totally config'ed to my settings and manual skin edits and all.

Anyways, what else is down for the moment?

[gameratheart]

With IPB having released another update, it has been reccomended that no further progress will be made until we have got the new update to work. Whatever it may be.

I'm assuming that this is what OpaQue is doing... so I wouldn't ask about getting new stuff up just yet...

Just wanted to know if we were going to upgrade to IPB 2.1.7, personally I think it would do use some good, because it has a virus scanner built in, and protects from SQL injections and malicious stuff.

Read the IPB information for more of what the specifics do, but it would really come in handy. The only problem is we would have to fix all the mods and rewrite the scripts I'm guessing. :|
