Just stumbled upon this webpage on the BBC news site.
Looks like it was a very widespread problem. >:(

It's just like anyone who starts these viruses, they're just sick!

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

I don't think so, Gis. :-\

I kept notes of what I added and edited last time so that will hopefully help when I need to do it again. The trouble is the PHP pages will probably look a lot different to the existing ones, and it can take time to work out where in the script things need to go.

I may need help when it comes to bridging a new version of Coppermine to the forum - I remember it was quite a pain in the butt last time. 8}

I wish we could help so you don't have to do it all alone! If there is anything we can do to help, let us know!
