    As far as I can see, it is now working as it should be without doing anything.

      So what happened with the recent hack and how can we prevent it from happening again?

        BTW right now "respond with quotes" and "edit post" don't seem to be working. I know you guys likely have been working over time just to get the forum back up after the hack, thank you for that btw, but I thought I'd start making a list of features which seem to not be working correctly at the moment.

          Apolyton was hacked and our data was replaced by a splash page of the 'hacking organisation'.
          Because our daily backup was just being replaced by the new one, I had to put the weekly backup back in place, which caused some days of data loss.

          We have also been replaced to another host at Rackspace to prevent a new hacking attempt to succeed, so fingers crossed.

          Anyway, we're up again. I hope you all were able to do some useful things with the extra time Apolyton's downtime gave you

            Nice to hear from you, Robert

            I suggest the next time a similar thing occurs, causing a downtime, you or Martin send emails to the staff members to maintain contact and to inform about. It would prevent some anxiety

              Indeed (and pop on in to one of the other fora, like CFC, which have threads about most downtimes).

                Maybe a facebook group so people can see what is going on even if the website gets hacked or is down.

                  Glad the site is backup. What may Apolyton a target? Just because or is there something more sinister?

                    Since the downtime, it seems that one can't edit ancient posts.

                    It's me or something like that is general?

                    Thanks.

                      Okay, two new ones - I'm suddenly getting this annoying pop-up at the bottom of every page informing me that "This webpage wants to run the following ad-on: 'SVG Veiwer 3.0 for Netscape' from 'Adobe Systems Inc. (unverified publisher)'.

                      I'm not running Netscape, and there's not button to tell the pop-up to go play in traffic, so it's there on every. single. page.

                        I'm getting a similar notice... maybe its an 'uncle' thing? I don't plan to download it, but it won't go away. Has changing hosts changed the requirements for accessing pages?

                          I'm not an uncle and I'm not having this problem. QED?

                              Why not just delete Apolyton?
