forum upgrade

[Super Cronk]

hey buzz,

a couple of sites latly have been hit with this webgeneration 13 worm...which spreads from google and gets forums that arent upgraded to 2.0.11 i noticed this site is 2.0.10 ..so maybe we at risk? and a upgrade is needed?

I notified Buzz a couple of weeks ago of this bug and the forum will be upgraded. He's just a little preoccupied at the moment and we should get a fully upgraded forum with yet another new theme before the season begins. I think it will be an improvement on this, not too different but a touch nicer. Let's just say it will be stormified a little bit.

My only query... why when I hit post reply and sign in, does it then say 'you must select a topic to respond to' ... isn't that what I did when I hit post reply???

I know about the worm (thanks to Thunderstruck). There was one line which was needed to be fixed to avoid the bug. I've implemented that, but since we have some modifications to the core code, a straight upgrade hasn't been possible yet.

As previously mentioned, I'm hoping for some new software to be finished in the next month or so that we can migrate too, which I hope you'll all enjoy! Until then, not much will be changing drastically!

You'll need to sign in before hitting the reply button. My suggestion is if you're using your own computer, set it to remember your login and when you're using some other computer, login before doing anything. I've never had problems that way (unless the site forgot my setting)
