Post editing is fixed

Post by **badinsults** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 7:11 pm

As the topic states, right now you cannot edit posts. However, this does not mean that you can all of the sudden make three posts in a row. Some posters are making useless posts that are verging on spam. Such posts will be deleted, and if you anger me enough, you will be banned.

Edit: the situation is now fixed.

Code: Select all

<_Demo_> something corrupted an index in the db
<grinvader> weird
<_Demo_> rebuilding the index fixed it
<Deathlike2> shit happens

Its a query lookup failure in the database, most likely due to a update to mysql.

Seriously, when was the last time this forum software was updated?

2005, heh, you're asking to be hacked then, theres so many known exploits in phpbb 2.x

Is that a threat? The forum admins can easily ban you for that.

Well, it hasn't happened yet. PHPBB2 hasn't given us much problems yet.

if i had any intention of hacking, it would've be done already.

Phpbb 2.0 is just very insecure these days

Edit
Just done a search, and it seems Phpbb and database corruption go hand in hand when running Mysql 3.x+

I believe it was _Demo_ he came by last night, and a few of the devs were talking about it.

NOONE READS THE FUCKING EDITS

he rebuilt the db's index.

Seeing as how _demo_ came by the other night, did anyone ask if another person can get server access, ala pagefault?

No. Why would anybody else need that?

Oh, no offense meant. I knew you were admin, but I didn't know you had access to say, update board software, etc...?

That was a reply to gllt's post. I usually quote the post I reply to when it's not the last one.
