Willy2 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 What's going on with this forum's notifications system ? I signed up to get notifications when visitors have replied to forum threads I started or where I posted a reply. But up to now I never received any such notifications. And now I get a lot of notifications in one burst in the last two, three days. Even of older posts I replied to. What's going on on the Piriform forum website ? Malware infection(s) ? Faulty forum software ? System setup: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/gcNzIPEjEb0B2khOOBVCHPc A discussion always stimulates the braincells !!!

Willy2 Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 That doesn't explain why it took the forum website so much time to send me the notifications. It was a year worth of notifications. BTW: creepy avatar. System setup: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/gcNzIPEjEb0B2khOOBVCHPc A discussion always stimulates the braincells !!!

Super Fast Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hahaha!!!! I had to laugh at your comment. Well, maybe they were compromised a lot longer than they realized, & the botnet just activated the other day. Or perhaps notifications went awry & the server had to be rebooted because of the malware, & now it works? Who knows... Weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted November 5, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 5, 2012 No I think probably some modification broke the notifications and as PHPs are regenerated or copied from places the notifications came back. (Note the is a whole-cloth guess with no inside information) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators DennisD Posted November 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 7, 2012 You'll have noticed quite a number of new avatars around the place Willy. I had mine backed up otherwise I'd be seeking out Woody G again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy2 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Yep. Got my avatar restored. "No user info compromised" ? Next problem is that all of my shortcuts to a number of threads on the Piriform forum don't work anymore.
