Actually, there's an easy workaround,

kill your browser's process, and if it's firefox, it will ask you to restore the session upon restarting the browser.

Select yes, and then kill the tab that the site loaded on.

No harm done :)

That means we have to be very very careful.

If that's the case ..... Can you put my link in there ?? :D

To everyone else
If you don't do your backup regularly, consider it as a warning and go ahead do a full backup of your site.

It wouldn't take much time :)

Better to secure yourself now than to cry later.

the tattoo forum (link in my sig) :confused:

got 19896 pages from ip address 194.186.55.209

i thought initially that it may be a dos attack and then thought thats stupid who would do that to me so i assumed it is just a bot which has got stuck in a loop on the calender page as it is a vbulletin forum

but now i wonder.

did i annoy someone on here and they trying to get me back?

It ruined my FF session!!! it took me to a login page that won't close the pop-up until i ended the FF session through Task manager...
Anyways its really SAD that the directory market is being HIT these days and hit badly:( hope the owners have backup!!!

That IP is certainly not associated with any SE or Bot.
Just block it using Cpanel or using .htaccess

And send a mail to your host about this.

Didn't do anything to me when I clicked it.

It's like one of things when you know you shouldn't touch it but you just can't help yourself. :)

Perhaps one of his files was writable, so they just added the META refresh.

Well the OP should have mentioned about the virus or whatever it was in the first post.

But still, since i went ahead clicking the link to directorynetwork, here is what i saw:

I see the directory back online
The directory has the database intact and i see all my listings there
It seems the guy is working on the skin at the moment as the homepage looks terrible...with everything and images misaligned.


So i think that answers some questions.
I think i saw the new owner in the directories forums recently!

Whatever be the case....Good luck to him

Hi ipod, i didnt mention anything because it didnt detect any virus and i was able to close the window doing just a quick ALT+F4 without any problems and without closing the whole browser, i thought that everyone will know how to get rid of that window since most of Dp members are computers geeks :D and experiemented webmasters.

cheers.

This has got to be frustrating for the guy running the site (I thought Aaron sold it earlier). If anyone hears any new updates I would love to know when it gets fixed because when I just checked it and it appeared to still be having problems.

I feel for the new owner. However he was warned about this possible problem.

Quote from aaron
Bottom line though is the sites work and there is no risk. My thought on upgrading was why do it to 31 sites if I dont need to. If it isnt broke, dont fix it.

Follow the complete thread if you wish.

Some people just have too much time on their hands and need to grow up. If you have the talent to hack, you have the talent to do something useful...

What a complete waste of time...

Has anyone contacted him?
