I've had this issue for a while now. Seem to be able to fix it for a few months (others sometimes only seem to rid the problem for days) and it always seems to come back.
Two good threads for it: http://www.vbseo.com/f255/filestore-...r-forum-55368/ and http://club.myce.com/f20/vbulletin-m...e-them-332219/
Is vBulletin doing anything about this, or even monitoring those threads?
Seems nobody can put their finger on how this starts off. And equally, once they get the issue, how to fully get rid of it 100%
I've followed all the proposed fixes. And it works for a while. But just today found another forum had the issue again. 3rd time for this one. Luckily after months again.
It takes 3 full days for me to carry out all the required changes to fix it for a while. And it's getting to the point I've lost more faith in vBulletin yet again. The core code has been worked on more by these hackers than vb themselves it seems. They really know how to exploit it.
Is vB4 too old to use now? vB3 is being hacked too. Thankfully vB5 is different code and doesn't have the issue. But neither does Xen which is better and much cheaper.
Looks like I'll fix the issue for a while, but in the meantime, I'll be porting over 1 by one my dozens of forums. A serious business decision I've had to make too as many forums are established and this is going to upset so many things, traffic, revenue, members, advertisers, and god only knows what else. But thankfully I'm hoping it'll also upset the hackers! They'll go pick on some other vb4 customers instead of me.
Made my question bold now as I've waffled a bit and perhaps it's been lost in the thick of the moan.
