Re: TAG problems!
Seems to be related to the search function. Going directly to a thread which appears to be emptied reveals that the text is still there.

Seems to be triggered by "&highlight=whatever" at the end of the URL. Remove "&highlight=whatever" and it works fine.
I build and repair tube amps. http://amps.monkeymatic.com
Re: TAG problems!
Clever trick. For a while I thought the hacking left something behind wiping out the database, like turning off an old CRT TV and watching the image shrink down to a singularity then vanish. Glad it's good. Most of you can build/fix amps w/o TAG, not so for me.xtian wrote:Seems to be triggered by "&highlight=whatever" at the end of the URL. Remove "&highlight=whatever" and it works fine.
Re: TAG problems!
The forum didn't even load for me this morning.
I use a shortcut to open TAG.

Thanks

Re: TAG problems!
I get warning and block unless I OK the warning. Today I can post yesterday got blank pages.
Allyn, do we need worry that our systems or maybe the browser were compromised? I use OSX FF or Safari everything updated. I ran ClamXav and Avast and got an ok but not sure theyd spot an infected browser. IME AV S/W is a day late and a dollar short but makes you feel safe and warm.
It's really getting to be time to install a separate OSX in Parallels and run a sandbox for the internet They lied to me, the bright future is just a big PITA that takes more time away than it gives back.
Two weeks, you say - maybe I should go build an amp or something.
If TAG disappears we can start over with all new personalities and handles

Re: TAG problems!
It was java scripting for popups.
I am scared to be here on a machine with java enabled.. so I am not.

Re: TAG problems!
It probably goes without saying... but
Uninstall Sun Java if you don't need it (most survive without it).
Update Flash Player regularly (at least every second Tuesday of the month) - http://www.adobe.com/sea/products/flash ... tion3.html
Apply your OS vendor specific updates (Win or Mac) as soon as possible.
Keep your antivirus current.
Windows users - Remove Adobe Acrobat Reader - replace with Nitro reader https://www.gonitro.com/pdf-reader
----
Windows users - Free, fully-featured application update scanner for personal use. It's excellent...

Free advice.. it's worth exactly what you paid. maybe a little more
HTH!

Re: TAG problems!
I never have java on and it's explicitly blocked. No local problems, just a mess here.
Thanks for keeping it going.
