    Hi,

    Is anyone else not getting any updated thread notifications?

    I have had none since the 29th July.

    I've been working on it for days. This is all related to the vulnerabilities I've expressed about vBulletin and WHY we are moving to a new platform. A table was inserted into the database that should NOT be there. Because it could corrupt other sectors, removing it may prove problematic. I'm hoping to take the new XenForo-based YF live this month so we can leave vB behind.

    Testing -F Parameter Function as an interim solution. Let me know if you receive an auto-notification of this post via email.

    Thanks.

    BTW, for anyone using comcast, you may not receive mail from YF's server as we're currently on a block list. A request has been submitted to lift the block, but it can take 24-48 hours. This is due to the aforementioned table inserted into the database that was used to spoof the server, resulting in about 190,000 emails we found in the mail-que. I don't know how many were sent, but enough that YF's server was blocked by Verizon, ATT, gmail and others.

    I've taken preventive measures, but until we get off vB I can't say anything is secure.

    Ouch. SQL injections are not fun.
    No new notifications so far, probably still blocked by gmail.

    Apparently gmail has now classified the site as spam so mine received this afternoon went to the spam folder. This makes sense based on what Carl said earlier.

    Requests for block lifts have been sent to all major networks & carriers, in some cases multiple times. Still working on this...

    Hi,

    Mine ain't blocked as I know my domain host personally and was in my Spam folder on the server yesterday trying to work out why e mails I sent to someone else in my co system get an addition in the subject line ***SPAM***.

    The started July 07 and I have added myself to the White List in the recipients client, and AV setup and still it persists.

    I should add I got that one you just posted Carl.

    Hi Carl,
    Don't get too stressed out about this...you'll work it out. I actually sent the White House an email telling them that you'd be the perfect guy to figure out Obamacare snafu's for them! I've notice the same thing, but just logged in to check replies. Keep up the good work.

    I don't think there is ANYONE who could figure out Obamacare snafu's. The people that wrote it, I don't think, even know most of the stuff that is in it.

    Thanks J. Thought this issue was fixed, but I'm not receiving responses to threads in the forums again. Would anyone think less of me if I used a sledgehammer to repair this?
