The site will keep running. It is not as busy as before, but this is not a reason to shut it down. 

I banned the spammer. Please report if you see anything like this again.

We are on the new server! It may take longer to update DNS settings for some people (up to 48 hours), but the software has been moved. I will be testing everything in the next few hours...

I will be moving the forum to a new server. The transfer of files will start around midnight on Friday. The move shouldn't take longer than couple of hours, but sometimes it takes longer to change DNS settings. This is to improve the speed of the website, and fix some of the issues we have with email notifications. 

Fixed! It was a problem with the database. 

               

 

I removed some duplicates and uploaded few new ones. Hope you like them. 

 

I uploaded some, but are they not too big?  : QUESTION :

I can see in the logs that the problem started few days ago. I am looking into it.....

Thanks Tim... I spent ages trying to change it, but there is no tab, page or option to do so?

 

I adjusted some settings, and it should work now. Click on 'Edit my Profile' button, then scroll down to the bottom. The last field is 'Occupation'. After changing it, click on 'Save Changes'. 

I fixed the problem, let me know if you still have any issues.

I am pleased to announce that khubner1 has joined the moderator team. He doesn't need an introduction, being part of the forum for over 3 years.

Welcome aboard!

The forum was down for most of today, but the hacking actually happened about 2 weeks ago.

The hackers used an exploit in the forum software and modified some of the system files. It wen't undiscovered for days until today when the forum stopped functioning. The exploit since has been fixed by IP.Board.

It took me most of the day to have the site restored mainly because the hacking went undetected for a number of days, and I could not use the latest backups. I had to manually restore the files using some of the older backups.

I don't think we lost any posts or images. The profile updates should also be up to date. Please let me know if you find something not working, and I will look into it.

Due to the popular demand we are going back to the old, and for most people better way to buy & sell stuff on 4GTuner.

Please post new items using forums in 4GTuner Marketplace. I will phase out the Classified section in the coming days.
Please check both the Forums, and the Classifieds when looking for stuff, as it will take time for the current adverts to expire.

Thank you all for you comments. Feedback is very important, as the changes are ultimately made to benefit the community.
Based on responses to this thread, I have a feeling how it will go, but lets have an official poll and decide together how to proceed.
