Perhaps it's just the innards that are being operated on, not an actual facelift? Perhaps we'll get to earn cool badges to put by our name depending on which games we play or enjoy

most likely a patch/upgrade to latest version. most website hacks these days go thru application vulnerabilities...

Correct, we will be upgrading the forum to the latest stable version. There are newer versions than that available but they have a bug list a mile long. We shouldn't lose anything -- but you never know. In addition, we'll probably be pushing this out to a new server that we install fresh over the next few days and go live on it sometime before Monday.

For now, I just made several firewall changes. Please let me know if anything stops working. I created a brief blip earlier today that shut down some things we actually needed open, but as far as I know everything that should be accessible is still accessible again now.
The new firewall should have some really cool anti-DoS and reactive address blocking to make it even more secure and it links up with some well known ip address list maintainers to block known hacker addresses. Hopefully that is all done now. From the logs, it doesn't appear that we were ever targeted specifically, but being on an international host with lots of servers means that we have to always be on alert for blanket attacks.

Hi Doug - is the ability to upload attachments still being blocked? I, and others, can't upload attachments to the forums. Originally Posted by ddavison

It is until we finish updating the forum software. We'll be doing this along with a server move at the same time and the server move is under way.
