can someone test my site?

[chrishicks]

I have a member who is having major issues(it may be caused by issues I had yesterday - I have a few posts around here about them) where he can't login or the forum just doesn't do anything at all. his actions are building up in the forum logs(failed login - incorrect password) even though he's entering the proper pass.

if someone would be so kind as to see if you can navigate around my forum I'd greatly appreciate it. thank you. the address is:

everything is working just fine for me but he has been having issues for hours now.

link removed.

[Ol' Wombat]

yes, your forum works fine for me!

[chrishicks]

ok, great. thank you for checking.

by chance, are you the new member?

[chrishicks]

I just had someone join and there are already over 12 pages of errors in my logs. any idea of what is going on here?

[Ol' Wombat]

...
by chance, are you the new member?

nope, was a guest visit

[chrishicks]

ok. any idea why my logs would be filling up like that?

already up to 15 pges of errors

over 18 pages now...

[Ol' Wombat]

all same IP? - maybe hack attack?

[chrishicks]

yep. all the same person. the person has set up a profile with an avatar and a sig. it's over 20 pages now.

tons of 8: Undefined index: xxxxxx  stuff

[Ol' Wombat]

[chrishicks]

[chrishicks]

removed.

[Ol' Wombat]

what are u doing? - no need to post the complete log

the IP is from Russia - likely a spammer!

[chrishicks]

I was just trying to get one of each of them. those above just keep repeating over and over.

[Ol' Wombat]

Ban the IP and it should stop but make sure he can not rejoin

[chrishicks]

yep. he was on my site wanting me to remove my posts from above.

[Ol' Wombat]

delete his account and use the option to *remove all his posts* - that cleans up your forum

[chrishicks]

yep. already did.

thanks for your help with both matters. I appreciate it.

[Ol' Wombat]

Funny, now this guy tries to join my forum!

Obviously he is reading here

[chrishicks]

yep. thats why I removed all links to my site above. its also why I left his info above too.

I have one other question I hope you can help me with if you don't mind. is there an easy way to set my board to English only with no other options available? do I just need to remove all of the other language files via ftp or is there an easier way?

[Ol' Wombat]

can't tell straight out of my head - use forum search.. it's working nicely 

[chrishicks]

yep. I'm still reading posts looking.

[Ol' Wombat]

Hmm, sounds like we have a BIG security issue with the SMF forum software?!
How can *guests* be allowed to view members' forum profile? (I tested it)

I do not assume the spammer is a regular member here?

oh, dear...

this is *not* a hack.  These undefined indexes are values from mods installed that are not installed in the current language files.  They are trying to utilize legitimate functionality of your board.

what language(s) are currently in use on your board?

chances are, the english_british_utf8 language does not have the smftrader and gallery strings defined -- you'd simply need to take its language strings (most likely in modifications.english.php and copy them into modifications.english_british_utf8.php *or* if they have their own files, make a copy of those with the same name just with english_british_utf8 instead of english

I know gri, he's not a spammer. Most people have trouble understanding him because his English isn't perfect. He's a little weird but he's a good guy It would be nice for you guys to un-ban him. This is a rather sad case of prejudgment.... Being from Russia doesn't make someone a spammer...

[metallica48423]

nothing against gri, i was commenting on the unidentified index issue
