Another page with gibberish text loaded - hereis a screenie, if that helps in any way

I'm getting something similar about 1/3 of the time I click on a page.

Ok.  Taking more drastic action.  I'm disabling attachments and uploadable avatars for now.

*insert WBS' infamous nuke pic here*

Good luck.

[Destructor]

Well, I got my first goof today. I was just about to upload a pic of it when I realized you disabled attachments. So this is what it was (it appeared at the very top of the page):

Happened on this thread at 05:38:08 PM Arizona time (or about 8 minutes ago from this post).

EDIT: Saw it 3 more times while surfing tonight. Good luck stamping this out.

I'm getting a lot of these errors today, showing me garbage text.

Let me know what I can do to help with any narrowing down of the issue

[MonkeyFinger]

Even worse today than before, and I give up on my Avatar, it never survives for long. Getting this when marking a forum read:

HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 13:04:31 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) PHP/5.2.5 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.8b X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.5 Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Cache-Control: private Pragma: no-cache Location: http://www.gamingtrend.com/forums/index.php?board=20.0 Content-Encoding: none Vary: Accept-Encoding Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=98 Connection: Keep-Alive Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html 0

And something like this at the top of the page almost constantly, along with the big font it brings:

Find it interesting that the only avatar that seems to be nuke-proof is CeeKay's. As someone else noted, kind of spooky when all you see is his ass in a thread.

lol.  instead of uploading it I used the option to point it to an url.  I think some other people who use their XBL gamertag as their avatar are having the same luck with keeping it.

[Knightshade Dragon]

Ok, I'm uploading the cleaned files shortly.  Hold on, I suspect it'll have some bumps for me to iron out.

Okay.  I'm ready.

FTFY.

I just wanted to say good luck, we're all counting on you.

[Huw the Poo]

I have been totally unaffected by all of this.  Isn't that a bit odd?  Is it a Windows thing?  I'm always on this board from Linux computers.

Can't anyone see mine?  It's being hosted elsewhere.

It's funny frightening how true feelings come out during times of crisis and impending doom.  I'm sorry, but your love of all things fabulous can never be reciprocated.

I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue.

[Knightshade Dragon]

Ok, I've rebuilt the forum from bare bones.  Let's see how she runs.  Let me know if you see any code injection nonsense. 

Thanks for your patience guys!

Did you make sure to hit the pace car?  Because during that ride you seem to have managed to hit every other damn thing on the racetrack I wanted you to be perfect.

[Razgon]

Good thing you nuked it from orbit - its the only way to be sure

[Knightshade Dragon]

Anything?  Everything seem to be working?

[Razgon]

no issues whatsoever seen from Denmark at least..good job!

[PeteRock]

Anything?  Everything seem to be working?

For me almost everyone's avatars appear as red X's.  And when I try to reload mine I get an error message:

The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.

Yea, I've got the avatar thing locked for a minute.  I want to make sure we've killed off any damage, then we can get the avatars set up again.

Then outside of that things seem to be running smoothly.

Agreed.

[Knightshade Dragon]

We will wait until tomorrow afternoon and then I'll start the upload system back up with some restrictions to prevent this in the future.

everything seems to be running smoothly here, but the fix didn't keep those feisty Europeans out

Whou?

Ouh. 

 

[Knightshade Dragon]

Working on enabling the rest of the code changes to keep this little bastard out.  You may see a hiccup or two.  FYI.

Oddly enough I just got this entering this thread.  It fixed by backing out and opening again...don't know

Template Parse Error!
It seems something has gone sour on the forum with the template system. This problem should only be temporary, so please come back later and try again. If you continue to see this message, please contact the administrator.

You can also try refreshing this page.

and

Unable to load Themes/default/index.template.php!

Edit:  Probably happened as you were doing something KD

Yup, that's me. 

[MonkeyFinger]

So, when will we be able to re-upload our avatars? I still get the "not writable" error.

[Knightshade Dragon]

Give it a shot.  Should be writable now.

[MonkeyFinger]

AHA! There she be.
