Fran Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 You wait until I talk to that Chucky Choy-Mein. I told him to change the colors and get rid of those ugly buttons! Now, look What he has done. I will demand a refund! (tic) The buttons are gone, and the colors I can read. Sorry about the Chat thingy. When will we get the new software?

Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted May 13, 2006 Moderators Posted May 13, 2006 I made the above post at 6:40 AM Mountain Daylight time. The Time stamp reads, on my computer, 3:40 AM. So, the time stamp is off. But, I am not certain as to what time zone it is reporting. It is not Hawaii time. Quote Gregory
Moderators LynnDel Posted May 13, 2006 Moderators Posted May 13, 2006 Your post time reads 2:44 on my computer, Gregory. It is 6:07 PDT as I post this. Quote LD
Moderators LynnDel Posted May 13, 2006 Moderators Posted May 13, 2006 This hacking event reminds me of the aftermath of a tornado or earthquake, both of which I've experienced. No power, the feeling that the world is different somehow (the CA world in this case), with a few people out surveying the damage and gathering to talk about it. Quote LD
Stan Posted May 13, 2006 Author Posted May 13, 2006 They actually gain root access through the polls on here. There was a hole there. I noticed on tuesday or wednesday that the numbers of who voted for what no long seemed to show up, thought that was weird.. Special thanks to Amelia for an alert, and to puddles for some vital information. ALSO for Mark for his assistance, and to the team at UBBThreads, was as to the www.1and1.com team in the Philippines for all kinds of technical support and advice. These things are not as much fun as it sounds... Between this stuff and the other stuff make a person wonder why a person should even do this stuff..

CyberGuy Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 Same here. Time stamp is three hours earlier than PST. Hummm. I wonder if that is the way it is for every poster. Three hours earlier than his or her post. Quote Riverside CA

CyberGuy Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 Stan I understand there is a 6.5.4 version out now. CA is using version 6.5.2. Does the newer version fix some of these security holes? Quote Riverside CA
CyberGuy Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 I have figured out the time stamp problem. Goto MY HOME at the top of the screen and then click on DISPLAY PREFERENCES. The server time is PST and there is a -3 there. Change that to whatever difference to PST you are in your time zone. Seems as if the defaults have changed there. Quote Riverside CA

CyberGuy Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 So I see you installed 6.5.4. Still did not resolve Natter Matters I see. Is that forum savable? Quote Riverside CA

CyberGuy Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Stan As a programmer I know the feeling and frustration when an upgrade does not resolve an issue. I know that version 7 is some time off but it may not resolve that Natter Matters issue either. Could it be a setting that is off. I know the time stamp issue was a setting in our profiles that was off from the server time. Could it be something is set wrong for that forum as well? Quote Riverside CA
Daryl Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 So the upgrade didn't really solve the problem? I guess I had better wait until version 7 then.

CyberGuy Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 Stan One curious fact. Natter Matters used to be not seen by non paying CA members. Now it is seen by all registered CA members both paying and non paying. It appears that Natter matters is denied to all members rather than just paying members now. I do not know how you set up the settings for Natter Matters but this is obviously a setting issue. That would explain why an update did not resolve the issue. Quote Riverside CA
Amelia Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 I just went and checked; all permission settings for Natter Matters are correct. Those who use to have access should be able to access it still. So something else is bupkis.

Stan Posted May 15, 2006 Author Posted May 15, 2006 if that is the only forum that has bad access, it can just be closed.. and open up another one.. If anyone else finds another one, please let me know..

CyberGuy Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 Amelia Something is amiss. Now all CA members both paying and non paying can see natter matters and no one has access. Before Non paying members could not even see it and paying members could see it and access it. An upgrade to a newer version should have corrected any corrupted files yet this did not happen. A changed setting in Natter Matters would explain all of this. Shrug. Quote Riverside CA
