Yes Brad u r correct. We were under attack again. A silly person attacked and got the "admin" member - a membership used for the controls of the board. They then locked member "LT" out and must have attempted to steal the membership database and cause as much harm to our community as possible.
We are now back ... until next time.
re a trojan? ... could you please explain as a bad file cannot be got fro reading a post etc. - it has to be downloaded.
Just before the shut down yesterday I noticed that Beaker had noticed som unusuak activity but that thread was lost in the restore process.

I loged on O.K. but as soon as I clicked the link to the first post (I think it was in Anything Goes) the BB page disappeared and Norton AV flashed a warning re: infected with Trojan.Progent. It was unable to repair so I found the offending file and manually deleted it from my Temp. Internet Files. It seemed to point to the BB: ... \Content.IE5\X0G7XPKP\lotto649[1].html.LT said:
After that I was unable to link to the BB again. I'm no expert on this but if it'll help I can pull the NAV log for info, times, etc.

Guests 'quoting' posts
LT,
my post to you referred to Guests being able to 'quote' posts in threads.
The only way that I know of to view threads as a guest is to click the forum or search for a particular item. The results of the search will display threads to the guest.
I just wondered how a guest could then 'quote' a post within that thread since they can't see the post

Thanks everyone .. you have all been helpful and supportive.
www.lotto649.ws should now work again.
Good workaround charles2 for when the direct door was not hooked to the forums

I experienced the same trouble about a week ago....Norton went on ...All got red showing that warning stuff....Brad said:That didn't feel like a planned outage LT, I actually got a Trojan when I tried to read a post here
Is everything O.K. now?
Had a lot of trouble getting rid of it...
But I kind of knew before that that something wrong was going on ....Or that something like that was about to happen...If you read between the lines you will spot it in many of my posts lately....

Beaker:
I saw that too... ...looks like a possible loop-hole somewhere. It could be someone clicking on quote and then getting an error message.

Re: re: Are you talking to me???

You collected this one:
Guest Quoting Post in Thread 6/49 Discussion For April 21, 2004 04:22 PM.
As you can see, there is nothing from a Guest in that thread. Logic tells me the Guest clicked Quote, was then stopped followed by a message saying you need to be a member. Does this make sense?
