UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic [Archived] UBB.classic Bugs Bug in Private forum code? [FIXED - 6.05]

Hi gang,

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but wasn't sure where to put it.

We are running UBB 6.04f with the last WOL (v4.0 I think), and recently have been noticing in the WOL list, "Guest #1 viewing (Private Discussion) in Administrators". A guest viewing a private forum.

I traced the IP and found out that it was a web-crawler. Now, check this out.

I remove the cookies from my system, and paste the URL to a specific thread in the private forum into a browser and hit GO, and Viola! I am taken there as a guest!

This must be a bug in the private forum code. Has anyone experienced this??


Any input greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Chris

You're using a version nearly a year old - I know that we corrected some issues with private forums in the 6.03 and 6.04 versions, but I don't recall exactly when that was done.

I would highly advise upgrading to 6.3.0 when we release it.

Hi Charles,

Thanks for the info... we want to upgrade but our membership to the support forum has lapsed and we have not had the money to renew...

Cheers,

Chris

There's not really much I can do other than advise upgrading at this point...
