the virus warning poping up here,  is not there anymore. I guess that's a good thing.  :-\

Wasn't Playmobored hacked and this is when Panos gave up the site?

What are the risks of being on here if the site has been compromised?

Just your registration info can be at the mercy of the palymoterrorists.

I've sent a message to the support team at Dreamhost to tell them what happened, and I will be changing my FTP password (only known to me AFAIK) just in case that is how the hackers got in.

i too had the same problem as Gastón - i was away from the forum for 2 days b/c of that  >:( :o

(i mostly log in at work, where i am almost all day and that's where i got the pop up ad - didn't experience this issue on my phone)

thank you for working on it :cloud9:

I agree with you as a virus pop up would show when I was logging in into www.playmofriends.com but not when logging into www.playmofriends.com/forum  :hmm:

I am delighted it is now sorted as I was equally worried about it  ;)

I've been advised to upgrade everything - the Coppermine Photo Album is a very old version and there are of course more recent versions of the forum program we're using too. Call me cynical, but I think this is primarily an easy way for the webhost to put the blame squarely at my door and completely absolve themselves of any fault.  :hmm:

The trouble is it's not a simple process because some of the important features on the forum such as the questions on the registration form were added by modifying the original scripts. To get everything working exactly the same with an upgraded version of SMF could take me several days. I'm keen to get it done (as it's long overdue) but I can't spare the time to do it right now. Maybe in the summer there will be an opportunity to do so. :crossed:

About a week or so ago, a similar thing happend to me, but not here but when I (tried to) visit "Klickywelt". The "dot com" caused trouble, the "dot com / forum" worked fine.  ???
