I always figured it's the outdated forum software. I have display hickups of all kind of sorts. Having to block weird imbedded scripts doesn't help with this, but I have similar problems with G3 (no Emailnotifications there, either).
Why for god's sake does SHS link to facebook.net? Is this really necessary?

Even when the software was current, I didn't get email notifications from the forums--it seems like users get everything from the forums (e.g. Argent77) or nothing (you and me). I remember looking in the code when I first started noticing it, but I don't recall seeing anything in its email subroutines that would make me think it's a software issue.

 

Though I have nothing concrete, I suspect that some upstream provider has decided that IPB forum email--or maybe G3/SHS specifically--is spam and binning it.

Odd... I get SHS notifications (most of them anyway), but I never got any from G3, at least not for years since before the provider switch. And the email parameters are otherwise all the same. Maybe someone thinks "gibberlings" is spam for "gibberish" or some such?

Exact reverse for me : I get notifications from G3, but no more from SHS since more than 5 years...

Something happened and I can no longer see the topics. Well, most of them. If I try to open a link to the topic I get "You do not have permission to view this topic."

I can see all of them when I am logged out.

Can someone from the admins look into that?

ScuD, please check now. I think I've fixed that.

[ScuD]

Yes, everything is back. Thanks!

Don't know what was done and who did it, but I receive again all notifications (PM, threads...). Thanks.

There is a problem with the View new content tab which links to to an error page: 'Driver Error: There appears to be an error with the database'.

Impossible to post anything. The send tab returns a Database error message.

For some reasons, after logging in, I see just part of the forum (see attached image).

A problem was recently reported at G3 about links to the forums redirecting to an off-site page, either for spam or other malicious purposes.

It matched this account exactly, and by following the suggestions there, I was able to identify and remove the code that was causing the redirects.

The attack appears to be something that was targeted at IPB software, and the behaviour reminded me of something I'd noticed intermittently on SHS:

Malicious Advertisements
 
While visiting the forums, I've very rarely been redirected to a malicious web page.  Here are screenshots from two separate occasions:

The pages play an annoyingly loud alarm sound when they open.
 
I wasn't entirely sure that it was as a result of visiting shsforums.net, but both times I've been loading a page here when it happened.  Last time, I scanned my PC for malware and didn't find any.  My suspicion is that it's being caused by an ad running on the site.
 
Has anyone else encountered the same thing?

I'd suggest checking to see if your forums are afflicted by the same problem.

Or you could just recheck where you are posting before submitting them.
