Chisoxfn Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Some sort of warning message or gibberish text with the browser freezing up. I just want you to know that we are working on it right now. I have no idea what it is, but am trying to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Thanks for the warning, I am usuing Internet explorer, been on the site for now about 3-4 hours, and havent had the error. My IE is pretty up to date, and has a popup blocker. If that helps you at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hey CC I think I just fixed it. It looks like someone (maybe a hacker) put a script into this skin. I just removed it, but was going to see if that fixed things on your end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 I just tried it on my IE (earlier I had gotten the glitch) and it worked ok with me. Everything should be back to normal, but If anyone is still encountering any trouble please make a post here or PM or email me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm in for the first time since about 11:30 am. f***ed up thing is I tested soxtalk on a brand new machine to see if it was just my computer...and that machine got hammered with spyware. I had to rebuild it from scratch it was so bad. I couldn't even boot into safe mode. Glad it wasn't my machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmookie Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 For some reason on my computer at home I can't get on ST. On this computer that's not at home I can get on. At home my computer says error you are not permitted to use this board... Why is this happening? It started last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to rebuild it from scratch it was so bad. I couldn't even boot into safe mode. Glad it wasn't my machine. Somehow a script got inserted right above the google ads. I removed it and checked the other skins and saw nothing. Going to make sure an update the security on this site and get the passwords changed as a precaution. I know a while back PHPBB had a lot of problems with security flaws but IPB is supposed to be very good on that front (Vbulletin is too). Whatever it was it appears to be fixed but I'm going to do what I can to protect it from happening in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSH2005 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) It was crashing my Explorer. I had to use System Restore to get rid of it. Firefox owned it though. Edited March 1, 2006 by SSH2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 The skin I normally use is gone. Is there any reason for this or did I mess something up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 I cleaned up a lot of stuff in preparation of some upgrades that will be done before the start of the season. Some of which was I scaled back some of the skins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yeah i had no clue what was going on this morning, but when soxtalk is the only website that brings up my virus scan warning, something is wrong. Glad it's fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 It looks like we had a corruption somewhere in the data base... It seems to be fixed, but I am waiting for official cofirmation from Kap or Jason. If it goes back down, you know why... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 pretty much all day, at home and at work... soxtalk was not working for me in firefox or IE. it would just say (do you want to download this file?) eh, its back, and life can continue as normal.

SnB Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 the link on the top of the thread is broken still though. "Soxtalk.com > Sox Baseball Headquarters > Pale Hose Talk" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 After much hair-pulling and a few colorful metaphors, the site's obviously back up. My fault... sort of. There was a script that I ran this morning that deleted the function of the message boards. Once I figured that out it took all of 5 minutes to fix.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Is it a bad thing that I don't know what to do with myself when Soxtalk isn't working? I need a life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
