JTK is no longer as admin since the last engine update, I found the bug. Sorry mate! :)
You can finally upload your avatars, not only link to them.
I thought that he had been deprived of being an admin because he entered the Looping Warriors forum, and posted in it once. It was just before JTK was deprived from his admin rights.
And it's only the admin's privilege to upload his avatar???!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

...and I enjoyed it that much *sob*
I noticed it today as I wanted to see, if Alain wrote "praise" or "skid" at the praise thread.

no.
But we can't upload a file from the computer, we can only upload a small pic to our sites, and link that to the forum, to have an avatar. I thought it is a bug and it is for everybody...

you are misunderstanding somehting big time.
I just told that I fixed this bug - or at least i hope.
now everyone can upload an avatar to the forum, no need to link from an external site

I thought 'you' relates to JTK (so since he's an admin again, he can upload avatars), and not to us.
Now it's okay. ;)
Quote from: "Akoss Poo"so since he's an admin again, he can upload avatars
I am no longer admin, Akoss... :shock:
there was a mass fake user registration in the past days. I've made registration a bit more strict, and also have deleted all users who haven't posted anything. If you encounter any spam/abuse report me and I'll make registration even stricter :)
Great! Now I can change my avatar everytime I want
I never had any problems to change/upload my avatar.
I allways uoload them to the forum, not linked to an internet page or anything else.

Lucky you, I could never do that!
Zak! Is it available to create some new forum ranks? I'll reach soon the "No new rank for spammers" level, and I don't want to be a spammer! :D
of course it is! ideas are welcome, but I'll try my best to find out something :9
Why not using the original car names + adjectives (to keep the spirit you already had for current forum ranks) as new ranks ?
Lamborghini LM002 Learner
Audi Quattro Sport Quartermaster
Lancia Delta Integrale Driver
Ferrari GTO Glider
Porsche Carrera 4 Challenger
Lamborghini Countach Commander
Corvette ZR1 Crusader (no word starting with a Z was appropriate)
Honda Acura NSX Adventurer
Jaguar XRJ9 Juggler (no word starting with an X was appropriate)
Porsche 962 Needer
Porsche March Indy Invader
What about this(ese) new ranks idea(s) ?
I don't want to become a spammer when I'll reach 2000th post. :lol:
If you want one final rank that remains after 2000th postn I would prefer something like "Elder of Stunts community" or "Wiseman of Stunts community" :-D

Damn ! I wanted to edit my post and delete "wiseman" idea because I'm not so wise to be honest, but it made a quote ?! Why can't we edit posts in this sub-forum ?
Btw I think CTG can stay in the "No new rank for spammers" rank, but the others should have new ranks or a final rank named the way Krys mentioned.
relax, I'm making up my mind :)
done :)
2000 - you can already see :)
2100-2400: one theme
2500-2900: another theme
3000: you'll see :)
:) thanks
so:
3000- SPAMMER CTG :D
2999-2500 we don't know yet
2499-2100 TWO-STROKE Alain
2099-2000 previously: Corkscrew Cad, now: Young Pipsqueak /me :D
no, of course it changes with every 100 posts :)
2100
2200
2300
2400
and so on :)
ah one "theme" okay :) even better :)
Ok, good. Only CTG deserves spammer rank for sure. :-D

Yes! I could change my avatar so that is fixed. Thanks Zak!
I am the only one with a special rank :D
Quote from: "JTK"I am the only one with a special rank :D
No : CTG also has one ("spammer"), and Zak too ("admin"). :wink:
8)
because I'll be on holidays with no internet access, I have restricted posting on the whole forum for registered users in order to avoid bots.
hopefully the attachement permission problems are fixed now. Please report any problems.
Let's see... ;D
we had the first succesful hack of zakstunts in the past 5 years.
the forum was hacked by a script kiddie exploiting a known bug, nothing from the database was lost thank heavens.
I have installed the newest fixed forum version and updated some passwords
there is still a high risk that it'll happen again, but I'm trying my best.
:o :o :o
Since the last "return" of the forum I can't see the emoticons anymore... am I the only one with this problem? Instead there's written "Smiley", "Wink", "Cheesy" and so on... :-\
yep no emoticons yet i'll fix soon
:-[
I'm seeing emoticons perfectly well...
because i fixed them :)
Will you do the original order of subforums?
Zak : there's no indication of dimension size nor kbites limit about avatars written in profile personalization page, but I couldn't upload my new avatar.
Is it the upload that doesn't work or is there some limits I don't know and that my avatar bypass ?
strange it should work, as far as i know there is no size limit and dimensions must be below 100x100, but the forum should resize it when its larger
Well, it seems the upload on website feature doesn't work, but I uploaded it to a part of my own webspace and linked to it. And it works, my splendid devilish smiley is there ;D
I didn't saw a big change when server speed was improved at the beginning of November, but I can see a big change since yesterday : server speed is VERY slow. It applies at USC, ZakStunts and the forum... ::) ??? :-[
it's due to some heavy bittorrent usage by my brother. It'll be gone in a day, sorry for the inconvenience!
I'll try to learn how to set up traffic shaping, so I could give prioritiy to the server data flow over local traffic and downloading. That way torrents could not interfere with the server.
It's quite complicated but I'll solve somehow.

Alternative way to me: http://unskilled.tvn.hu
IE can't remember my password correctly for Stunts Forum... I don't know why, but it always happened to me. The first time I logged in, my username and password where written correctly, as after the "remember password..." notification from IE, I clicked "yes" and had no problem. But everytime I come to the forum, I type Chulk and press Tab to jump to password square, it fills with the password but it's always wrong. The thing is that none of the digits seems to be wrong, as I tried changing 5 at a time (Pass is 6 letter/numbers long) and when I left 1st sign untouched it didn't work, when I left 2nd untouched, it didn't work, and so on until I left the 6th one untouched, (totally convinced it would work fine) but then, it didn't! :o So I don't know what's wrong with it.
I've got a solution : use FireFox. :P ;D

Use Opera. :D
For me FF 2 is faster than IE 6 or 7 in all webpages, except to load BATRacer races (especially long races like LeMans Endurance Series races).
I got FF 3 but it's slower than FF 2 so I stayed with FF 2.
Else, for your problem of password, did you tried to delete all cookies and then re-connect to the forum and select to keep the password remembered ?
Or, do you have an antivirus that is selected to very high protection level and therefore erases cookies regularly ?

This can't be it as it only happens with the forum. Batracer, F1tipping, gmail, everything else works fine

Just a complementary tip: if for some reason you
don't want your YouTube, LastFM, etc. links to be auto-embedded, surround the relevant portion of your post with [noembed][/noembed]. Just had to use that...
did some reorganization on the forum categories. Hope it is easier to get around now.
It will sure put less strain on my mouse wheel like this... :)
The reorganization just gave me a big scare, as I couldn't find the old ZakStunts season subforums anywhere... but I could locate my own posts there, so it's just the new root subforum ("Competition Archive") that is currently off-limts. No reason to panic, everyone :)
Wait, are you guys sure you're not missing anything in the forum? Not even CTG is? :)
(Hint: see my post above this one ;))

I thought it was just an access bug in my own account remaining from the dual team forum membership problem when I couldn't enter many subforums. I don't really care about it.
ok i will review the problem, sorry!
-done, is it fixed now?
Yes, it is, thanks ;)
Zak, for the second time I've seen something very strange with the forum (first time it happened I reloaded too fast for actually realizing it): as I tried to open Who's Online, I got redirected to the strange stuff contained in the attached .txt - seemingly part of the SMF PHP/HTML code appended to a lot of spambot links. Reloading would get me to the proper page, but as soon as I tried to go elsewhere the same thing would happen. After a few more reloads (one of them bypassing browser cache with CTRL+F5) the forum returned to normal. However, (coincidentally or not,) my avatar disappeared again afterwards...
My avatar is missing too... Maybe I should use the opportunity and change it...
Looking for new avatar mode ON
my disk quota is being updated, insufficient disk space may explain the avatars and bugs.
But not the spambot rubbish. I got a bit scared, will look up if someone else faced this problem earlier
It seems the spambotting is affecting other pages as well - when I try to enter chat using FF, I get to this:

Konqueror crashes on the spot when trying to load the page.
More on spambot rubbish... (sorry if I'm being a bit annoying with posting notice after notice - the intention is just helping by gathering data about the issue) The attached .txt has a number of corrupted forum pages I got during the last few minutes - you can tell different pages apart from the Apache header lines, or the blocks of spam links. One thing that draws my attention is that all avatars, including long-disappeared ones like mine, had been restored about two days ago. However, just after I got these errors my avatar vanished again (only mine seems to be gone, but from what I've seen the avatars do not disappear all at the same time, but at a rate of about one every two days or so). Crossing this fact with the issues with the chat page (which resumed working properly by the same time the avatars returned), one gets the impression that all issues are related...
I can't see your avatar or mine either. I see the rest of them but they appear bigger...
I had finally some time to check the spambot issues. The forum engine was definitely hacked, some source files were modified on the server. The spambot code resides in a base64 encoded block added to after the file headers. Also found the problem announced on SMF forums.
I have upgraded to the latest SMF stable (a thing what I should have done a lot earlier obviously...), hopefully this will solve problems for a while.
Duplode and other interested might find this topic interesting:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=307717.0 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=307717.0)
yes, we had krisbarteo user registered as well.
Looks like a simple update was not enough I have to reinstall the forum and the add-ons. Will do now :)
Lucky, there is already a cleanup script solving the problem:
