Repeated hacking

Hi,

First off, Nimbus are a great hosting company, I've hosted vBulletin 4 with them in the past (moved s/w now, but still with Nimbus) and they got it running better than I'd ever had it...

Also recommend Nimbus, Tim and the team got VB4 running fast for me before I moved to XF.



If it helps, our forum has over 2 million posts with 300-400 users on at a time,...

Hi,

We use Nimbus: http://www.nimbushosting.co.uk/

They also host some huge forums, including AVForums

Dave.

[pvo_dave]

I did talk to Tim about that before we made the move, he advised that they use xen virtualisation that allocates the usage, so unlike traditional shared hosting or virtualisation it's impossible to over...

Thanks for the replies.

@Lynne - I added the .htaccess password today, so hopefully that will help! - Also went through most of that guide and made some changes

Since last Thursday we seem to have been targeted by hackers, it looks like the original exploit was down to vbSEO sitemap, which has since been removed and files deleted (as far as I can see)

[pvo_dave]

Also just completed our server move to Tim's new venture Nimbus Hosting (www.nimbushosting.co.uk)

After finding out that Tim had moved on, I got in touch via LinkedIn and arranged the transfer,...

First time of trying it, and when I 'Like' something it displays on my Facebook:

Dave likes Vauxhall Owners Network on Vauxhall Owners Network.

Which isn't actually the thread...

Already set as no parent style - any other suggestions?

Dave.

[pvo_dave]

Couple of things I've noticed..

The upgrade seems to have changed the postbit background (I.E. where you are reading this text) to the same colour as the background of the forum
