What's going on the forums?

[geeman1]

Is someone hacking the forums or something?

[boyracer1981]

why?

seems ok to me

[need]

Victor's staging a coup :)
He's the only dev still listed as a forum leader :p

[J@tko]

I heard (The Stig) launched his grand master plan to get his own back on us all :D

[geeman1]

Victor is the only adminstrator and there no moderators.
Many people also seem to have trouble logging in.

[zeugnimod]

You can login when you changed your WEBpassword on lfs.net but not with the old one. :shrug:

Read the wise words again.

Just probably an maintenance, nothing to be worried about (maybe it just slipped out of hands a bit:razz:).

Heh, indeed that works :D

[Tomba(FIN)]

had to change the pass yes

[AndroidXP]

Maybe Victor had an oopsie. Or he decided to get rid of the forums due to the 'String around the earth' thread. Both would be valid explanations.

[Byku]

Had problem with mine too O.o, what's going up there Vic? ;>

[Xaid0n]

Darn it I hate changing passwords, makes it harder to remember :(

[J@tko]

Darn it I hate changing passwords, makes it harder to remember :(

[The Very End]

[DanielC]

[Prieto]

Darn it I hate changing passwords, makes it harder to remember :(

[geeman1]

[Victor]

I'm not sure what happened yet. Still looking into it.
Though people should be able to login fine and the status's are back to normal too.

[510N3D]

[zeugnimod]

I can login again. Was about to change my password, but decided to give it one last try, and it´s all working normal again.:thumb:

[IlGuercio]

Looks like the problem didn't occur at the same time for every user.
Mmm...

[arco]

Maybe time to upgrade the forum, just to be safe?

vBulletin 3.8.4 PL1, 3.7.6 PL1 and 3.6.12 PL2 Released

vBulletin 3.8.4 PL1 / 3.7.6 PL1 / 3.6.12 PL2

An XSS flaw within the user profile page has recently been discovered. This could allow an attacker to carry out an action as a user or obtain access to a user's account. To resolve this issue, it has been necessary to release a patch level version of the active versions of vBulletin.

[510N3D]

No problems,mate.
Just give me your WEB password and i'll make sure you have a hell of a night trying to guess the new one:razz:

No thanks & up yours! :razz:

[logitekg25]

i talked to victor on email (a few messages convo.) and he fixed mine all up...and he said he has no idea what happened, but he is investigating. :)

[510N3D]

Victor loves to investigate...stuff. :D

[Fire_optikz001]

haha ye i was like of **** my account was hacked :|

[three_jump]

didn't we have something similiar a few years (2?) ago where it turned out to be some vbulletin check making sure you really change your pw after some time?

[GianniC]

I just hope to be informed asap if it was indeed something bad and if there is the chance of someone else having obtained my password. Cause I might be very screwed if that's the case...

[The Very End]

The only episode I remember is the .. was it the Plosh episode? There were this user that banned all the moderators and developers of the forum, and made himself a developer status. Were quite interesting.

[Khann]

That seems a bit excessive.

[JasonJ]

I had to re-enter my web password? Should I be worried?

[The Very End]

Nope, some bug on forum :)

[NotAnIllusion]

All your accounts are belong to me.. :)

[JasonJ]

OK, cheers. I thought maybe something like the logged in status cookie just got renamed.

[zeugnimod]

plosh

:D a

[The Very End]

Problems with Big Letters Zeug? :p I almost feel for linking to that topic, it were epic! :thumbsup:

Did that really happen:Looking_a

[danthebangerboy]

Yeah the same happened to me last night, i was just browsing like i do, left the forum, checked my email, then came back and it said you are not logged in, i was like WTF! i should be!

I tried logging back in and couldnt so after i did 4 out of 5 attempts i went to LFS.net and changed my webpassword, no probs now.

[xaotik]

And I thought that someone, after all these years, figured out I was using my username as my password.

One interesting side-effect though is that it doesn't seem to allow the "Other" country any longer under the Account Details option in lfs.net - I guess the days of national non-affiliation are over.

[obsolum]

Just change your password(s) anyway, just in case? I know, genius idea, ain't it?

[J@tko]

:D a
ZOMG ZEUG IS GERMAN AGAIN :tilt:

[zeugnimod]

ZOMG ZEUG IS GERMAN AGAIN :tilt:

Yeah, it somehow didn't like me choosing "Other" as country yesterday when I changed my password. :(

[danthebangerboy]

- I guess the days of national non-affiliation are over.



And thats why i think! :D

[three_jump]

Yeah, I had to set mine back to germany too. :(

Zigmund, what shall we choose now?

[Deutschland2007]

Yeah, I had to set mine back to germany too. :(

Zigmund, what shall we choose now?

Are you guys ashamed of your nationality?:tilt:

[NotAnIllusion]

They're from the same country as you, aren't they :p

[pearcy_2k7]

You guys not like germany? :D

[obsolum]

To be honest I don't see a reason to choose a different country flag than your own :shrug: No one should be ashamed of their nationality IMO.

[Byku]

Vic, just being curious :p. Do You know what have happened? ;)

[Wilko868]

It's still happening for me, the forum keeps signing me out for no good reason!

[zeugnimod]

Did you check the box for "always stay logged in" or something like that when logging in for the first time with your new password (if you changed it)? :smileypul

[Jakg]

Did that really happen:Looking_ahttp://jakg.com/LFS/Phlos/

[Mikjen]

Why do u keep images of peoples profiles ??

[The Very End]

Probally to show us what happend, as proof or whatever. Backs up the point :)

[zeugnimod]

Why do u keep images of peoples profiles ??

Those are the profiles of all moderators at that time.

[Victor]

Yeah, it somehow didn't like me choosing "Other" as country yesterday when I changed my password. :(

That was a bug (because I changed a lot of country related things not long ago) and you should be able to select other again, as so to keep your nationality generic/hidden if one wants.

[J@tko]

But we'll always know now that Zeug is a humour-less German twit :feathers: :D

[Victor]

Well, I couldn't find anything related to an exploit that would explain this happening, and some details point to a bug actually.
And though we're not running the latest version of vB, I don't think that's the problem. The reported vB XSS exploit is not related to what I can see happened here.
Nevertheless I'll upgrade the forum again soon.

Finally, I see no evidence of any accounts being hacked as in, someone was able to login with your account and obtain any details you have stored. In fact, forum account details are minimal anyway and most, if not all of the details you enter here in the user control panel are publically visible anyway.
Your real account details and license if you have one have always been 100% safe as well, since those are stored in a whole other database on another server.

I hope that puts some minds at ease,

[Töki (HUN)]

Good to hear that. Although when I logged in 2 hours ago, I got a message that I have been banned permanently for posting link to crack. :shrug: Of course I didn't post anything like that. My account is back again, though I changed both my web and game password, just to be safe.

[logitekg25]

thats the importance of having a very secure password...numbers letters capital letters lowercase letters ;)

[easyed]

Like Wilko868, the forum keeps requiring the password every time I return (even though I have the remember me ticked) .....even required password again for this post although I had already logged in.

This just started with this recent flurry of issues. I have changed my password at lfs.net and still it forgets me.

[Zay]

same here. every time i go on this forum now it makes me sign in. it never did that before.:shrug:

[logitekg25]

Have you tried deleting your cookies? Could be there's something wrong there. I'm just guessing :shrug:

[easyed]

Hey obsolum - ya got that right mate - thanks :nod:

[danthebangerboy]

Ehh, never diss the cookies!!

Strange...

The hardware-forum is locked for me - just the hardware-forum!

Is this due to the recent problems, do we have to register now to use this part of the forum now, or am I banned for this section? If I am banned for this section I would like to know why...

You are supposed to post in the sub-categories only, so the forum itself is locked.

[JustForFunRacing]

Oops... sorry :)

Well seems my internet was a bit laggy as I hit "Post Replay" and nothing happened... then I saw the lock and thought I might have to register or something else...
