Roni, honestly.

You  don't know a crap mate.

FTP hacking through chatango is like fishing for whale in lake...

It's possible, but 99% sure not sucessfull.

Because you can maximally hijack into someone's ip port through chatango but you can't hack a database without solid hacking tools. I mean chatango is only small part of hacking someone's forum.

Certainly does not that damage as some other things I'm not gonna name for security reasons.

- Yes we also removed chatango coz of this, you have the point, but trust me, they didnt hack to site through chatango.
I also believe that the hack was carried out of cross-site scripting.
Since the site was only showing one page.
This was a normal topic with some codes for extending, which are exploits in smf.
This can be noticed by just a look when you select the whole page of that message.
It just selects half of it, which is a topic.
And remember, members aren't deleted, nor the posts.
But the action tab is hidden and your profile too.
Nothing so complicate to pull off.
I don't think he rooted ;D

I really like this forum, especially the notifications!


Only probs for me:

1. I press "back" on browser and it doesn't go back to previous page. Press it 3 times it goes back. (on 3 different computers)
2. Sometimes paste does not work in reply from right-click, i have to use Ctrl + v
3. Some of the Google banners are in the middle of pinned topics which looks a bit messy

But it's just minor stuff.

I am afraid that these issues have never happened to me as a Chrome and Firefox user. Most of the websites nowadays are not made for IE, even though it is "official".
Dont like: I dont like the new theme AT ALL. I would like to ask if possible to make it like the old one ? The same maybe? I dont understand where we have a new post on something or not.

the old one was more better...
We cant have the old theme as it was made for SMF only. However i will be implementing new themes for VIPs.

The google ads - could you make it so that when you click on them it opens another window? Otherwise you get directed away from forum.

(I know to press control but it would make it easier) :)

I have investigated it and it only happens to the text ads, not to images. So it is easier to go through the IMAGE ads.
