problem with thread display

[frockery]

Maybe it's just me, but Heather's 'small print' thread on the Business Issues & Legal forum is coming up all strange and doesn't allow a reply to thread option. Is anyone else having a problem with it?

[TomB]

No i had that earlier as well and it is still like that.

I think the pixies are out and about on the forum

[TomB]

looking at the source of the page its looks like something is stopping vbullentin from producing the full code of the page.

Very strange wonder if its connected to the other thing the day.

Tom,

I have vB support looking at both and there is a possibility the site has been hacked in some way. It doesn't seem to be affecting too many things but I think it's better we resolve this before it becomes an even bigger issue. I'm by no means an expert of vB so i'm unfortunately in the hands of their support which until now have been fabulous. Failing that i'll have to try and find someone or consult their support forums.

Who would ever have thought running a forum would be so much hard work

I was thinking that as well, the whole hidden iframe pointing to the virus is a bit of a give away.

who is the site hosted with as it could be a vulnerability in the web server. There was a thread I was reading on a forum about it, i'll find it on my history and post a link.

Ok this is one thing i was reading:
Solution to <IFRAME> and JAVA SCRIPT HACK

and this one:

iFRAME VIRUS ATTACK - Page 2 - PhotoPost Community

Tom,

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not sure I understand most of that but I will change my root passwords etc immediately. I dont think the problem I have is on every page though so not sure if it's exactly the same. In the mean time i'll await vB supports comments.

It displayed quite odd when I posted it (it was an almost blank screen with my post in a box in the middle.)

I've been cracking and hacking PHP code all day so I took it as normal %-)
