Can't view "all subscriptions" in CP

Add one more IP to the list, as I was hit today by the same Cyprus guy, same bot, coming from 12.215.91.53. I think he has both hotamlideals.biz and hottamlideals.biz.Please don't ban all of .biz --...

[musicat]

The same guy from Cyprus registered using IP 61.232.205.14. He registered as [email protected] using the name of bobbie801. Same registering characteristics; I'm sure it's him or his 'bot....

Watch out for this asshole. I suggest banning 200.73.714.183 for now. He has hit my MB 5 times in the last few weeks, with identical profiles as described here and elsewhere.

I am at a loss...

I have discovered this asshole/spammer has been tracked since at least 02/11/05:

My advice is to ban his IP. Go to vB options,...

I really don't understand this. Their web page is shown as "1" -- that's all -- no "http://," no nothing. And if you try to access the actual domain name extracted from the email address...

I'm having the same problem. Five bot registrations so far over a few weeks, using these domain names:

lacedwhitepanties.biz
lightblondevagina.biz
bagelsandcreamcheese.biz ...

[musicat]

It is not practical to do this at this time, as I don't have easy access to the server nor the knowledge of how.

However, no hacks have been applied to the PHP code. Minor configs and tweaks...

I don't know if this is a new problem on my board, or I just never noticed it before, but "View all subscribed threads" returns nothing for all users I have tested for, admins or otherwise....

Thanks for the quick reply, Zachery. To sum up, if I allow JPG, JPEG, and GIF as valid extensions in Admin, would that cover a Mac user who has images stored using the Picassa application?

I don't have a Mac at my disposal, so I can't easily test this question. But I do have a novice Mac user who appears to have a problem.

I have JPG, JPEG, and GIF set in Admin as valid...

Correction

Whoops -- the setting I changed was "add no-cache headers," not "add standard headers."

Here's something interesting. In posting my previous...

[musicat]

With "add standard headers" option ON, test posts to a test thread took 138..150 seconds.

With the same option OFF, they took 27..28 seconds.

Big difference! I...

My board seems to have been slow at thread/message posting ever since it was installed 7 months ago, but I didn't have much to compare it to. But now a more sophisticated user claims my board is slow...

Thanks, smachol, for your lightning-quick response!

At least I feel better knowing I didn't overlook an obvious VB option.

[musicat]

As an Admin, I need to find out if a particular user is subscribed to a thread and will receive email notices of new posts. (VB 2.2.1)

A list of users subscribed to a particular thread...

[musicat]

The problem surfaced again today. I tried two posts; the first timed out. The second timed out also, but one of them actually took and the post appeared!

There is no load on the server...

<bump>

Anyone care to reply to this?

The problem seems to have gone away for now, but I would like to know what to do if it reoccurs.

[musicat]

I am getting random timeout errors when posting or starting a thread in an active VB board. The message might look like this:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds

[musicat]

Here's a hint about what might have caused the problem (altho it sure looks like a bug to me).

As Admin, after some initial testing of the board setup, I removed, using the proper vB tools,...
