vBulletin MAPI for 3.8.8

[macrumors]

There don't seem to be apipatch files for vB 3.x mobile api.

Are the 384pl1-387 patch files the same for 3.8.8? Or will there be an update for 3.8.8?

thanks

Realize this is a year old, but there seems to have been no progress on Mobile API documentation. Is this something we should still expect to happen eventually?

[macrumors]

strangely, we're having the exact same problem. started a couple of days ago. several users getting the Banned message when their ip isn't in the ban list.

We're on 3.8.x however. seems...

So I isolated it to persistent connections. I filed a bug report on it here:

Hi,

Certain users are getting multiple email notifications for their thread subscriptions. It appears to be happening to only a small batch of users, and inconsistently -- not every subscription...

Can someone clarify if the mobile API that just came out for vB 4.1 will be coming in vB 3.8?

The FAQ seems to imply it might based on the fact that the mobile app is said to work on 3.8...

Thanks. I tracked down the problem. Seems some script in the past had added "albumid" to the user table. I dropped that column and it works now.

Just my test vbulletin installation. It is just an old backup of my forum db. It's been upgraded to 3.8.6.

edit:

here's the album page on my live installation:

I've done all the above and it's still happening.

I just upgraded to the latest 3.8.6. The album page seems to be broken (all link to albumid=0).

On a test install I have with an older version of my database, I went to default Vbulletin...

Thanks Steve, don't mean to take it out on you.

regardless of it's classification. it's a huge problem.

I guess the best question is, did the powers that be at vBulletin.com check their database for users whose passwords=username and...

In this line:

@mysql_select_db( "DATABASENAME") or die( "Unable to select database");

replace "DATABASENAME" with your database name

Actually, it would not in this case. If you read above, these are people's legitimate accounts that have their passwords set as their username.

So, you would reduce it, but I had some long...

[macrumors]

The only problem with the db query is it changes it to a random password, which means you won't be able to identify these people afterward. It might make the private message spam cleanup harder.

obviously this script's going around. I think this is going to be a huge problem.

if this hits you, shutting down your pm system globally in the control panel will stop more PM's from being...

Here's the conclusion to this.

Over 1800 accounts were compromised (out of 200,000). They were accessed by a bot who simply used the username as the password. I'm sure this can happen to...

steve, I figured out the problem, I'll post a description soon.

Question though. if I delete from the pm tables without affecting people's pm counts, is that going to be a problem? Can...
