Forum links redirect to spam

[Kirkus]

After a day of much Googling, I discovered that the file yuiloader-dom-event.js had somehow been accessed and encrypted code added to the end of it. I discovered this by running the Suspect File Versions...

Starting earlier today, something has happened that causes all links in my 4.2.5 forum to automatically redirect to spam, most located at the domain "lp(dot)searchmulty(dot)com."

I have a block in the forum sidebar based on Forum Threads. Thread Type is set to "New Replied". And I have several specific forums to display from using this block. There's one particular thread...

[Kirkus]

For some reason thread marking has been moved to the database exclusively, removing the admin option of using database or cookies. I'm not sure why an option was removed but it's messed up my forum. I've...

Please ignore this. I've discovered that quite a few 4.2.4 files were not copied over to the 4.2.3 forum. It appears that I posted this thread without first double checking that I'd done my job correctly....

I just noticed that it's not only the 3rd party add-ons, I also no longer have the vBulletin Blog section in my AdminCP. All other sections appear to be there except those that are not a part of the original...

Working on a local dev site, I installed the update from 4.2.3 Patch Level 2 to 4.2.4. The upgrade went off without a hitch... expect I'm missing 3rd party add-on sections in the AdminCP. The php files...

I want to wrap this up. The problem was in the "headinclude" template of the affected styles. I don't know how, but a closing comment tag was malformed. Instead of closing the comment with...

[Kirkus]

Oh, OK. Thank you Mark.

[Kirkus]

I've found a fix for this. It's not the most convenient and doesn't make any sense since only several custom styles are affected, but it's a fix none-the-less. Hopefully it will help someone in the future...

I'm still troubleshooting this.

The page source of the CMS front page of one of the problem styles contains a link to the stylesheet and the directory for that style does exist. It's chmoded...

[Kirkus]

No one can help point me in the right direction?

[Kirkus]

I'm sure I've seen a fix for this at some point in the past, but after much searching today I can't find it. So if this post is a repeat, I apologize.



I have 5 custom styles...

I found the problem. I'll post it here in case someone else needs the info in the future.

When I created the latest style, for some reason the code in the template "ad_global_header2"...

[Kirkus]

I've compared the header, headinclude, and headinclude_bottom templates between the different styles and there's no difference whatsoever.

No one can even hint at a clue of where I might...

I have an ad placed in the "Header 2" location of my 4.2.2PL4 forum. The ad displays as it should in one custom style, but does not display in a second custom style that I just created. Can...

After using the all-powerful Google machine, I discovered that the "Install" directory has to be in the forum's root for the "tools.php" to work.

Once again, all is good...

I've copied my vBulletin 4.2.2 forum to a local computer running MAMP (this is the first time I've tried this). I've got the database set up and can get to the front forum page and admin login page. I'm...

Hi Zachary. Thanks for the reply.

You mean the template, "vbcms_widget_static_page"?

[Kirkus]

Is it possible to remove the wrapper from static html widgets?

When creating custom html static widgets for ads, I find that they appear in the standard widget wrapper (see attachment) that...
