It was a nice add on, but if im honest, didnt atttract the users i thought it would.
it would be sweet to get it working in conjunction with adsense youtube videos, would have to check T&C's first though.

Re: A word of caution


Was this your first time getting hacked magz? The first time is always nerve-wracking, but often these things are just people looking for a script with holes and no real agenda other than causing trouble for you. Now if they were after something specific, like credit card numbers or other personal data, then it's more worrisome.

Re: A word of caution


Yeah, the first time I found one of my phpbb2 forums hacked my heart was pounding! But when googling how to fix it I learned it was just some guy with a malicious script finding phpbb2 sites in the search engines and defacing thousands at once. I felt better knowing my forum wasn't being targeted or permanently damaged.

Re: A word of caution


i had all mys ites on my server hacked at once, it was a horrible hack, like nothing changed, but they implanted a malicious script/trojan in allll my index files footers and was tripping peoples anti-virus proggies. had to go in and clean every index file (do you know how many index files are in a loaded up vb install? A LOT!) plus all the index files in the WPMU install and templates....it was a mess.

Sorry to hear that and luckily you had a back up. I would hate it if it happen to me.
