Oh where has the forum been??
« on: July 12, 2011, 04:37:16 pm »
Boy oh boy, was that painful. My main site got "hacked" and a bunch of files were corrupted with some java script.
The irony is, the java did not appear to do anything (!) I scanned them with some web scanning services, and it would come back "its clean!"

It just so happens I took a copy of the whole site late last month, so I was able to upload all the forum files fresh!

So we are back to a semblance of normalcy, but now I have to figure out how they got in.. Its not like on "teevee" its a bit harder than that.

Thanks for your patience! please let me know if you have any issues.
my email is "findit@antique-shop.com".
I appreciate the feedback and help with the site.

regards, Ed

Yes, thanks Ed! I now have no Norton reports of malicious software every time I enter or click on something. Clean at last!

WOW!!  Yes, Thanks for all your hard work...  Unfortunately, I am having the same problem with my email, ebay and paypal account....  I don't think it's related (at all) but everyone be on the lookout!

If only they would use their powers for good instead of evil!!

Thanks everyone..

You guys are what makes this site cool though.. It was sort of lonely here for the first few years, but now its quite entertaining reading all the posts!
2011 is the 15th anniversary of antique-shop.com.. You would think I should have done something special.. hmm.

I do have a new logo and color scheme.. but I just have to get busy and use it..

anyway; thanks.
regards, Ed

Oh geeze, I was having a conniption fit over here! :o
Thank you for providing such a great site, we all love it here. Those pesky hackers can't break us!
However, I can't seem to see any pictures on the site anymore, is this just me? They are all white boxes with red X's. 
By the way, I really like the red and black color scheme but the logo could use an update. :)

My pic was gone from my profile so I had to reload it.

It appears to me that pics that were uploaded from personal computers ("browse" and then chosen on your computer) are all missing while pics that had a URL address are OK and those with offsite links are still visible. Thoughts?
