WWTBAM Bored

I am aware of the issues that are being seen under certain themes.

My web hosting account apparently got hacked recently, and though I thought the Bored had been spared, that apparently was not the case.

I'll just need to replace a handful of files in various locations, and everything should be good to go again.


NOTE: Please refrain from posting error messages, especially those containing file names and locations. They can be sent to me via PM if needed, but I'd prefer to keep certain information related to the hosting account (especially the folder hierarchy) inaccessible to any persons or search bots that happen to drop by. That information will be snipped out of posts as needed.

Should be fixed now. My web host detected illicit code that had been inserted into three files that controlled formatting in various areas of certain themes (a header for one theme, a footer for another, etc.) They locked those files down so that nothing could access them, and that caused the errors and wonky formatting issues that some of you were seeing.

I've removed the bad code from those files and reset them so that they're accessible again. I had to do some housecleaning in other areas of my hosted web space as well. Fortunately, the impact to the Bored was relatively light.

If anyone sees anything else strange going on, PM me here, hit me up on Facebook (for those that can), email my handle at normalview dot com, or have lb13 call/text me if things REALLY go bonkers.

That makes my blog post this morning (which I wrote yesterday afternoon) rather timely...

I'll say, "No Trump!'

Does anyone mind if I "deSticky" this thread around the end of the day? Five Stickies is probably one too many for comfortable reading with a small screen. --Bob

I'll beat you to it. I think this thread has served its purpose...

And the RASH game has been inactive for 10 days, so it's ripe to be de-stickied as well...

The RASH puzzle ran out of steam, so whack away.
