Legion World Forums LEGION WORLD Science Police Headquarters Error

When I try to get into the "Welcome Jason Hall Lad" thread to read it, I get the following error:

Hack attempt logged or corrupt/altered member file found with extra fields. ('00000404')

Refreshing doesn't help, and I tried 3 or 4 times, but got the same message each time. It's the only thread I've gotten it on so far.

Fixed.

Unfortunately, some of the member files are corrupted from a previous hack. I've fixed all the ones I've found so far, but I'm sure more are out there.

Add

Hack attempt logged or corrupt/altered member file found with extra fields. ('00000361')

too.

And how come the mods for each forum don't display any more - I checked, and I still have Mod Powers™ in the PCM (come on... "Vote-O-Matic"?!) and Comic forums, but the mods' usernames don't show in any forums (fora? ) any more. Bad Change

Fixed.

And cause I like it that way. Why do you want to see the mods?

And now 00000384 means I can't see my PMs

You want a reason?!

Fixed.

And I'd like to see what others think. You're still a mod in Vote and Dr. Gym'll.

FYI, profiles for 97 and 232 are also corrupt.

Fixed.

Gary, don't kill yourself! You did a bang-up job, and I'm sure you'll get to everything when you get the opportunity. If it's not a fatal error, let it wait. You've got a life, too!

Since when?

Gary, if there is anything I can do to help, just holler. If you can't reach me at my home e-mail or via PM just drop me a note at work: scott.sharritt@marriott.com.

Pov!

The only dealie seems to be that pesky number 1 or 0 that appears several lines below a person's profile. Now that everything's new, the board registers a hack attempt if even a hint of that member's profile appears.

I started going through the list looking for signs of it but gave up after opening several files not affected. I then went around the board looking for error messages and apparently haven't caught them all.

I'll try to keep my eyes open when I can from work today. So far I've encountered no errors but I finally just got a moment to start looking around.

Okay I have to ask this as I'm not sure if its my increasingly poor eyesight or something with the new background but are there evenly spaced blue splotches amidst the stars? They are kinda dark so they don't stand out but its enough to make me think I'm seeing spots before my eyes.

The main difficulty so far that I've had is that everything is displaying, scrolling, accepting keystrokes at one-third of the earlier speed. At least in Netscape 7.02, and presumably in Mozilla.

It's not occurring in Internet Explorer 5.5, and that makes me think this version of UBB is using IE-only features, caching, or handles for hack opportunities.

If I can't use my normal browser, I'll have to cut back on visiting for a while. (Don't all of you cheer at once!)

I'm also getting an odd effect, using IE 6.0.2, when I toggle between screens. When I toggle back to LW it looks like a ghost running across the screen before the screen shows correctly.

And I'm experiencing slow response like Grey but that could very well be my work server. I'll have to test more from home, should I get to go home today.

That's the background image Scott - I remember I had a similar thing once when I had a subtle background on a page on my school's intranet. To fix it, you'll need to change that.

Ah. So its a bunch of stars running together instead of a ghost. I guess that's a bit better.

Another corrupt profile error:

Hack attempt logged or corrupt/altered member file found with extra fields. ('00000066')

[Funnily enough, I've just noticed that Pulsar (member 66) has just logged in, and it was the screen just after the "thanks for logging in" prompt that errored. Coincidence or related?] LOL - everything non-transparent on the bg shows as white for a second, and it runs quickly but sequentially through all the repeats before anything else displays

And I'm finding LW's speed fine from uni

I caught the corruption for Pulsar (I, too, think these errors occur when the member first tries to log back in) and fixed it. I'll try to keep an eye out for others as they occur.

Okay, what idiot turned off the target=_blank functionality in the upgrade? I hate links like those for the creators in Visionaries of Tomorrow that take you away from the site. They should open in a separate window. But when I try to add the target code it reverts the entire URL code to show on the page instead of the link.

I can see them, too... they're sorta shaped like Ohio???

...Or Arkansas, maybe...

Yeah, more like Arkansas.

An old "favourite" error message is still around post-upgrade too:
