Hutton Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Many thanks to Ben and everyone else who worked into the wee sma' hours to sort this out. It's just as well as I was getting withdrawal symptoms. My hands were beginning to shake, breaking out in cold seats. I'm now back on an even keel. The world makes sense once more! Quote
pst62 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Working fine with Firefox and Chrome. Great job on the quick fix! Quote
tony_m Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Working fine / normally with Chrome here too. Thanks to all involved for getting it sorted, excellent work! Quote
essexbasscat Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Hello, hello, it's good to be back it's good to be back (no connection !) Suspect a lot of bass practice happened yesterday.... Quote
dave_bass5 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 My boss asked me to pass on her thanks for letting me do half a days work yesterday. Ive just told her normal service has now been resumed and to shut the door on the way out. Good work guys. Quote

Dave Vader Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Hooray! I spent some time on another well known bass forum yesterday, I didn't like it.... Quote

[/quote] Well we would have been OK but there was a microscopic fault in the software which was exploited and used to create the problems... I have no idea how or why they do this type of thing but us bass players are made of stronger stuff so a patch is being developed for the hole right now. Then we SHOULD be super safe.

51m0n Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Well done chaps! Starting to get the sweats and the uncontrollable shuddering happening - standard withdrawal symptoms..... <GEEK>Strictly speaking CTRL F5 doesnt clear your cache, it refreshes the page from the server, the rest of your cache will remain unaffected.</GEEK> Quote

Ou7shined Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Nice work guys. On the ball as always. I actually thought for a while that I'd been excommunicated (because of some "rebelliousness activity" in the face of some "Untouchables" lately) when I wasn't getting any bassy emails. Actually it was kind of cool not having literally hundreds of emails cluttering up my inbox for a change... remember like it used to be before the "THE CHANGE". I think I might unsubscribe from a few more areas now and give my inbox a well deserved break. Edited May 18, 2012 by Ou7shined Quote
Mornats Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Nice work in sorting this out guys, hope you've got beers lined up for yourselves this weekend. If it makes you feel better, I had a UPS blow up in my face yesterday just as I was going to leave work. Not nice seeing the entire server room power down abruptly! I don't even work in IT, I'm on the web team and only popped my head around the door to say bye to our IT guy. Ah well! Quote
TheGreek Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks to all those involved it putting the site right..I felt lost without it.. Your work is much appreciated..worth every penny that I pay..I just remembered..IT'S FREE!!! Quote
BigRedX Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks for all your hard work to get Basschat up and running. It might be worth letting the paranoid of us know what malware we were potentially exposed to and what it was supposed to do. Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Incidentally, the warnings seem to have cleared themselves out - I'm not getting any red alert page now, despite using the same toolbar bookmark as before and not clearing my cache. Thank you, guys, for your hard work. Quote
Gust0o Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1337331734' post='1658141'] I spent time on Pornhub......I quite liked it.

It might be worth letting the paranoid of us know what malware we were potentially exposed to and what it was supposed to do. [/quote] It didn't manage to do anything because we're zipped up tight and everything is secure, luckily. I don't know what it's intended mission was but it certainly wasn't to access anyones information or muck around with any settings which is a stroke of luck. Ben will be able to tell us more. Quote
Silvia Bluejay Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1337325787' post='1657991'] Did I miss something? [/quote] Nah, no big deal - the entire universe (which, as you know, centres on BC) ended abruptly, but somehow ped, kiwi and the guys managed to restart it. And Jack, you've been working way too hard in the last few days, and not spending nearly enough time on here. *crosses arms, taps foot* Quote
Booooooom Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks to all involved for getting it sorted so promptly but please don't let it happen again - my recent productivity has gone through the roof!! Quote
whizzzy Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 A massive thank you to the Admin guys here on BC. Well done chaps! Quote
