DennisLinkletter Posted September 23, 2012 Report Posted September 23, 2012 Most of forum recovered, looks like we lost the last few people who joined and some recent posts.. Could have been a lot worse..
jimswanzy Posted September 23, 2012 Report Posted September 23, 2012 Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. Good job Dennis. I can't stand hackers. We've been hit several times as well as my personal email. I believe they think it's funny. But it takes a lot of effort to get things back. Jim
Trathor Posted September 24, 2012 Report Posted September 24, 2012 Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. Hackers and forum spammers get me posses too. I have a forum of my own, and I understand how angry it makes me everytime one of them manages to infiltrate.
Trathor Posted September 24, 2012 Report Posted September 24, 2012 Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. Looks like I'm new enough that all of my threads were in the group of threads that got hacked. I'll try to recreate later - huge day of work, catching up for being out for several days for a wedding.
bryan Posted September 24, 2012 Report Posted September 24, 2012 Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. How can I get rid of the post?
mguerra Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. The hack did something weird. When I click on "view unread posts" about 15 threads pop up that I have already viewed and there are no new posts in them. Or if I click on some of them, a message pops up that says that thread does not exist.
DennisLinkletter Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Posted September 29, 2012 Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. We were hacked again sale arsehole.. Left malware that could have deleted the entire forum.. Once I knew he was scamming me I hired SiteLock.com to secure the site.. We lost very little and the site is being "hardened" and we should be impenetrable in a few days.

I still have old threads popping up that I have read and there are no new posts in them.

Not for sure, but try clicking the "Mark forums / topics read" to the right of view unread posts and see if that eliminates them from you unread list. I believe that is what I did to eliminate them. -=J

I still have old threads popping up that I have read and there are no new posts in them. I have reindexed the forum.. I had reports of early searches not working.. that might have helped. If anybody else finds anomalies please let me know so we can try to address them.
kounelaki Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. I still have this problem unfortunately. View Unread Posts returns posts I have already read, in addition to unread posts. On the upside the search function works for me now - reindexing the database appears to have fixed that.
mguerra Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. Problem persists... Annoying but tolerable.
DennisLinkletter Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Posted October 12, 2012 Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. Problem persists... Annoying but tolerable. I'm assuming you tried Dj's suggestion of clicking the "Mark forums / topics read" to the right of view unread posts. Did that eliminate them from you unread list. If so hopefully a new read / unread history will then be made.. I never use this feature so I can't check.. (probably should Please let me know if something is still incorrect and I'll have someone track it down..
mguerra Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. That worked. Thanks.
kounelaki Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. Not sure about anyone else but I can see the owners area / forum whilst logged out. This used to be private, only visible to registered users/members. I have deleted all cookies set by the board (bottom right hand corner of the forum page), but this made no difference.

I never look at the forum without signing in so I never would have seen that..
DennisLinkletter Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Posted October 23, 2012 Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. Anybody know of any other anomalies with how the forum is working?
kounelaki Posted November 11, 2012 Report Posted November 11, 2012 Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. Think I found another one...the following section used to be visible to all site visitors, whilst logged out, to let prospective owners know of the private members area, that they can become a member of once they have pruchased a KK. It is now only visible once you've logged in. A prospective owner who isn't otherwise aware of the private area will therefore never know about it.
