Attachments displaying as weird images!

[Liz]

We have a serious problem - when you click on a photo attachment, a completely different image appears. I have been through a selection of attachments and it's the same with all of them. It's as if they have all been hi-jacked

Our photography section is a Members Only board, so an Admin will need to check this out.

A good place to start would be the Meet The Family Pets section  www.frenchfocus.proboards.com/thread/8684/meet-family-pets?page=1  When you click on the attachment of the dog - third post down, a logo of Hogwarts appears. Other  attachments are linking to pin up pictures and other strange things.

Some urgent help required please!

Hi, Liz.

We'll get this fixed as fast as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I've also hidden attachments temporarily on your forum as some of the images contained questionable content.

[Liz]

Yes I just had that reported by my Mod.

Do you know what's happened Brian - it's quite alarming

[Brian]

It seems to be an error on our end, but only seems to have affected your forum. They're fixing it in the other room right now.

We'll also investigate why the inappropriate images survived the filtering process. They shouldn't even be on our servers.

[Brian]

Do you know if this was happening for a while before you posted or did this just start happening shortly before you posted about it?

[Liz]

I don't know Brian. It was one of my members who flagged it up. He had gone to look at some of his attachments and reported it to me at once - just before I reported it on here.

I tend to discourage attachments in favour of Photobucket type links so I don't look at them regularly.

Edit to say: I do remember looking at one a couple of days ago and everything was fine then. I would say this has happened today

[Liz]

It's maybe got nothing o do with it, but I added a World Time Clock Widget a few days ago. I've just removed it from my Global Footer.

This was the code....


<center><!-- Begin of localTimes.info script --> <div align="center" style="margin:15px 0px 0px 0px"> <div align="center" style="width:140px; border:1px solid #ccc; background: #; color: #FFFFFF; font-weight:bold;"> <a style="font-size:13px; line-height:16px; padding:2px 0px; font-family:arial; text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF;" href="http://localtimes.info/getwidget/world/">   World Clock</a></div> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://localtimes.info/world_clock.php?cp3_Hex=0F0200&cp2_Hex=FFFFFF&cp1_Hex=FFFFFF&fwdt=96&ham=1&hbg=1&hfg=0&sid=&mon=&wek=&wkf=&sep=&&widget_number=20101"></script>
</div> <!-- End of localTimes.info script --></center>

I did quite like it, so if it's not causing the problem, please let me know and I'll put it back

[Brian]

A code definitely wouldn't cause it. Like I said, it's on our end.

[Liz]

Any word about when this will be fixed?

[Brian]

No updates at the moment, but I'll ask Martyn where he is on this as soon as he shows up.

Part of the reason it's taking a while is because we need to determine the underlying cause of the issue.

[Liz]

OK, thanks Brian, I understand

[Liz]

Can you please give me an update on this. Attachments are still hidden and it would be nice if I could let my members know when this will be sorted

[CheatAreZee]

Hi Liz,

I would expect that this will be solved by Monday night, though my apologies for the delay with this in the meantime.

[CheatAreZee]

Just received an update now from our system admins that noted that this should be taken care of, I've gone ahead and reversed the hiding of the attachments from your forum now. They were also able to find the problem to prevent it from occurring again in the future. Thanks for the patience with this

[Liz]

That's great - thank you Ricky
