I was having problems getting onto 4hv last night, I was getting a message saying I didn't have the correct authorisation.
It sorted itself out though, and the red buttons started appearing shortky afterwards.
I assumed the site was down for maintenance or something.
There also appears to be a youtube link below the box I'm currently typing in.
Also, there appears to be a greater number of allowed file types to attach, including .wmv and .avi etc.
I assume it's all part of the improvements that Chris has been planning.
EDIT: Norton is also informing me that my competer is being attacked by a virus or something from chekoslovakia (cz?) everytime I click on a link on the site.
Is anyone else getting this?
(attacker URL- aserok.cz)
EDIT EDIT: I see this has already been reported to 'Admin Contact' by Dude500.

I have gotten two PDF file downloads coming out of nowhere as I just browsed the forum, also from .cz

Hi all,
This should be cleared up now.
Last night I noticed a file on the site had been compromised, so I removed it and patched to the latest e107 -- some of you may have received 403/not authorized errors while I was doing that. That's why the button colors changed. Unfortunately, even the latest e107 is vulnerable to the exploit, so the site was later re-infected. I've cleaned it up again, analyzed the logs to find out how the infection was getting in, and removed the files responsible (fortunately we weren't using them anyway).
I poked around the attacker's site and wasn't able to find any active payloads, but if you're at all concerned, making sure your browser and virus definitions are up to date is never a bad idea.
