I hope not, it's been nothing but a nightmare for me since Trap changed over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted February 6, 2007 AstaHost has to change otherwise the security of the forum is at stake. The forum is not upgraded so that the forum can have all these pretty features. It's upgraded to prevent any forum hacks thereby compromising ultimately your hosting account and credits.If hosting account wasn't important, the forum can always recover from database backup. But this will work against the hosting credit, like we've seen in the Xisto--loss of hosting credits.The better statement is the forum upgrade is alright but the new AJAX shoutbox should be fixed. And this is up to the author of D22 shoutbox Dean. Dscripting.com is not acknowledging any wrongness of the current D22 shoutbox. And I'm afraid for all those who depend on Dean's shoutbox is at his mercy.This topic is to warn possible database revert because the forum database has been attacked in recent days. And if this is the same as Xisto, Xisto will experience database restore after the forum version upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
