Lochie_old Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) UPDATE: Clickable links and images have been re-enabled. I'm just wondering, the Short Story of the Month Competition topic looks like sh*t now. Whats the dealio brosefs? EDIT: BBcodes went down because of hackers, and now links and images are being restored as well. Forum can't be upgraded because this has been heavily modified and the release of V2.0 prolly won't be happening for awhile.

Banana Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=368779 It is mostly disabled because there was an exploit involving BBCode and the PM system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanted Assailant Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Bugs, bugs, and a lot of bugs. I'm not touching any topics or posts I've created with a code. May I conspire this with the deal of maintenance and the Offline activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otter Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Should someone write up a proper announcement about this, and how to avoid getting exploited? It may seem like common sense to the admin, but I know I can sometimes get tricked by certain things, and I'm far from a complete n00b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 BBCode is now enabled again, but clickable links and images will remain disabled for a while. As a temporary workaround, please post links as plain text instead of using the and tags. Please do not PM staff regarding support issues - use The GTA Network Support Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTArv Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) Thanks for re-enabling BBCode, it was quite difficult without it. But plain links don't seem to work. The URL shows up as two.

gamesguru Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Thanks for re-enabling BBCode, it was quite difficult without it. But plain links don't seem to work. The URL shows up as two. That's because like Tank said, the and tags are still disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgey. Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Kinda sucks as i wanted to change my sig but didnt know about the problem, so now its gone for a while. But as long as it gets sorted in the end, its no big deal. Just a few topics like Funny Picture etc will have to go on hold for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What update? GTANet V2. Its where GTAF will run on its own server and stuff. That's what I assumed. But I remember the Admins/Mods saying it won't be for a while yet. Maybe this situation was the kick in the backside they needed . If it's just a new server, then I can understand; but I was hoping (and still am) for an overhaul on the visuals. Although I'm fine with GTAF/GTA.NET as it is (minus the BBcode). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm fine with GTAF/GTA.NET as it is (minus the BBcode). I'm assuming it's going to be an overhaul of a kind since it isn't going to run on IPB. So, don't be surprised to find yourself in a totally new environment. Btw, any notice on when the and tags are going to be enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamesguru Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Well just found that no BBcodes work in PMs; oh well, it's for the best. This is just to test something so don't worry: EDIT: <snip> Yes! tags work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OysterBarron Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 The final reult will work out better anyway.If anything its helped us speed up the upgrade. So just up with it for a short while. Shame the downside is that it peeing off some of the members like me and effecting the usefulness of the forum! because now when i make a topic like i just have that needs a picture attached to make sense (easy reading) i cant because it wont let me input img or Http link either, but yet it lets me add youtube.

Carbine23 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I didn't want to make a new topic on this, so i'll post it here. Is the new post thing broken? Even when i view the topic and go back to the main page, the new post icon is still lit up? It's supposed to go away when you view the topic.

It's supposed to go away when you view the topic. It's been the same since the BBCodes were disabled. So, it's a fair guess, that everything would be back to normal only when everything is enabled.

It's annoying whenever I view a topic or post in it, next time I view it, it shows me 'the last post' from 1 page back or doesn't mark it as 'read'.

QwertyAAA Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Well, I went there, saw that, pressed the IP Address link, clicked "Reverse IP", and saw this: " There are 20 domains hosted on this IP address. Here are a few of them: 1. Eshock.com 2. Everybodydies.com 3. Grandtheftauto4.net 4. 17 more... " WTF is Eshock and everybodydies? The Eshock thing doesn't work. Everybody dies goes to some website that makes me want to have a seizure and black out just to stop seeng it. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
