I will be updating the forum software on November 23rd, expect some downtime. The contents of this update are as follows: - Passwords will be getting updated to an actually good hashing algorithm (they were already salted) - I've been testing as much as I can to make sure the update is transparent, here's hoping to no issues. - General code updates to make the software work with PHP7 - Some security stuff related to what the forum sends to your browser (i.e. "don't load stuff from this site if it's pointing to some other sites - basically things that will get a better score on Mozilla Observatory) In other news, xeogaming.net and xeogaming.org both support HTTPS. After the weekend update, it should also default to HTTPS when accessing the site. Please report any issue in: This thread | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It seems there was instability recently (mainly 404 errors). What was causing the 404s is fixed, but not how it came to be. There was a few server changes on Dreamhost's side, but I can't say with certitude that it won't happen again. At the same time, there was a very good suggestion to move to a more "recent" version of the software (here). I'm looking into options, as for some of you who have a good memory, previous software updates were not painless, and it appears that some reverse engineering might be needed again. There are other less fun options on the table (but closing the site is not one of those, no worries there). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Quick update on the recent problems. TL;DR: things are fixed. Speed issues DreamHost recently migrated all their servers. In that migration, our MySQL server somehow ended up in California, while our web server ended up in Virginia. The short story is that, more or less, every SQL query the board would make would take around 100ms just to get to the server (not even execute). That is bad. It is also fixed. Posting issues Due to the above issues, I did refactor some code related to the SQL queries (which didn't help speed, but it did make things a bit cleaner). I tested those changes before the Speed fix, but things broke afterwards, for some reason. I suspect it was a character encoding issue that made password not be recognized. Anyhow, it is also fixed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

From prosperity's sake, I'm keeping the previous announcement that was made by the hacker. Feel free to read it. Either way: - We got hacked. Again. Not very surprising, and when I discovered where the hole was, I facepalmed, hard. Basically, the problem was in very sparsely used feature: polls. The big problem is I thought the thing was patched already. However, turns out that there were two files related to new polls. One wasn't used (turns out I patched that one, long ago). The one that WAS used... well... that's the hole. - The method I'm using right now should prevent that kind of hole from popping up again. However, it might bring a few annoyances here and there. It's a quick and dirty patch. - IF YOU HAPPEN TO SHARE YOUR XEOGAMING PASSWORD WITH ANY OTHER WEBSITE, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS AND THOSE WEBSITES. Seriously, I am not kidding. Even more so if that website is your e-mail provider. - When you come back to the site, you'll need to log in again. I've changed the way passwords work, so this is something that can't be avoided. - Any problem, question, suggestion, lost password, whatever goes either to a PM, or to darkphil@gmail.com - If you have a lost password, you can also contact me on Jul (username: Aerakin) if it makes it easier to verify who you are. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I shot DS an idea to simplify this for all of us. He made it happen 5 minutes later. So instead of having to go through the trouble of copying and pasting all that "old" embedded code (some of us were slipping up and posting their new embedded code that doesn't work, lol), all you need to do is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdhSxMgpJL8 [yt*]KdhSxMgpJL8[*/yt] Just remember to take out the *'s, and sometimes if you've got a longer link like so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUKdfQvZ2YE&feature=related Don't include the & and everything after in the yt tag. |

It has come to my attention that quite a few of you are using pictures from other websites. Now, it's fine and all if it's your website (or photobucket or tinypic or whatever) or if you have permission. It's not a big deal now as it was in the past, but let me remind you to you have no control over the picture (i.e: can be deleted at anytime, destroying your layout). In some instances, some websites may be blackedlisted by an antivirus and trigger it, as soon recently. But seriously, if you plan to use an image semi-permanently, please try to host it somewhere. Thank you. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hello everyone! I would simply like to tell you guys that the board might be down a few times in the next days, as I plan to do a partial re-write of the board, as well as properly test and fix a few bugs and exploits. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Did some of those, if there's any problem (mainly if you see ' or the like), you know what to do. EDIT: oops, broke posting in the process. That works now. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I've got most of it done, xeogaming.net seems to be working fine. But, any post, any PM, any thread that has been made and that didn't show simply doesn't exist. I'm sorry about that, but it's true. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Most of what was broken (new threads not showing up, posts in threads not showing up, private messages not showing up and so on) have been fixed (works on my end, at the very least). If you still get any error, PM me with it (or if you can't, email me). Also, I'd ask that you guys still not use xeogaming.net, it's running another version of PHP, and I haven't tested things on it yet. EDIT: more things fixed, xeogaming.net might work earlier than I thought | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

If you're using the .net URL, try .org. Some people seem to be having some issues with .net for now from what others are telling me. |

I'm just going to quote Raoh a bit:
So there you go, another RO server with a handful of people here playing and probably others whom were part of DarkmoonRO, etc. http://justicero.net/ For quick reference, here's the rates: EXP: 15x base 15x job 10x quest Drops: 10x common/useable/healing/equipment/cards 5x boss drops (includes cards) |

As some might've guessed, it was script kiddy time in Xeogaming, once again. For once, I have actually fixed code, so hopefully it won't happen again. You know the drill, contact people to get your passwords reset if they don't work. Also, due to an extremely BAD AND SHITTY (tm) proxy used by said lamer, urls in some people's layout/profile have been replaced by urls to the proxy in question. Hopefully I have that in a back somewhere, or you guys will have to fix that yourselves. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
