  Website repairs completed

  Posted by Adrian on 26/03/2009 at 9:22 am

  As most of you will be aware we had a bit of down-time this month because the website was hit by a hacker who changed the forums to redirect to another web site. There is no evidence that the hacker obtained access to the database nor to any of the usernames/passwords stored there. The aim of the hacker was to direct traffic to the suspect website.

  Over the last few weeks I have upgraded the forum software substantially to close off potential vulnerabilities – and also took the opportunity to try and fix some of the long running “bugs” that members have kindly been putting up with for some time.
  Today I think I fixed the last known problem associated with the “brain transplant” – and unless you tell me otherwise I think we are out in the clear again.

  On the downside we lost about a month’s postings in a few of the forums – on the plus side the “Recent Postings” search in the forum should now work as intended – and you should be auto-logged in reliably if you select that option on the login page.

  Thank you for your patience!

  Enjoy!
  Amanda
