Is INGO under CYBER Attack?

[KellyinAvon]

Who is Eluberank and why is he/she/it posting a crap-load of links? I've seen denial if service attacks, this is what they look like.

What the hell happened to the format of this forum. I am so confused. It looks way to much like freaking face book.

Churchmouse- They upgraded the Forum software. Check the announcement.

KellyInAvon- elubbereank is a spambot. There is software out there looking for specific forum software (like INGO now has) that they know weaknesses to. The create dummy accounts and then write spam messages that they hope people click on. I've reported this. Hopefully, there is a way to tighten up the system to block elubbereank and others so they don't become too much of an annoyance.

Moderators- There are more spambots out there, but I couldn't report more than 1/hour:
Forum: General Firearms Discussion
New "user": xvivzywhs
Thread: majority of useful items because

Forum: General Firearms Discussion
New "user": "sunjmf"
Thread: no new threads as of yet, only replied to one thread

I've had to log in twice this morning, and that's after Norton stopped a virus attack which happens at least 3 times a week when coming to this site.

So now I get to spend several hours re-learning how to move around in the forum. Just great. What the hell was wrong with the way it was. Worked for me and just getting it down.
Oh, I have a wonderful idea....lets mess with an already good process.

Thanks for reporting them, removed three spammers this morning.

Sorry they "moved your cheese" churchmouse. Unfortunately, they can't hold with the same software forever. We all upgrade our systems over time. It was time for the forum to upgrade as well. Give it 2 days and you'll probably be okay with the new setup and even find a couple of new features you like.

I'm sure they'll be making some modifications to get it back closer to the way it was. That sort of thing takes time and they can either take the forum down while making the changes or they can keep it online and accessible. vBulliten rebuilds are not the easiest task in the world, there are TONS of settings in just the stock vBull config not to mention the customizations and plugins. To whoever is doing the work, thanks!

I realize all of these issue. I have been involved with the hard points on building automation upgrades. Never easy. It is an ongoing process. Just did not expect it this AM.

Pudly....I know you took my cheese now give it back.....................

Maybe one of the new features would be the shop working? Oh, and we need some kind of place where we can get answers to questions that are asked frequently, like a FAQ or something.

I know it's in purple but the shop does work.... http://www.ingogear.com

They just aren't going to let you have an easy time of this, are they?

I've always heard that change is inevitable, and growth is optional.

I really wasn't prepared for "growth" this morning.
I thought I'd logged into the wrong site.

 

[LANShark42]

Change for the sake of change is BS. Tell us how it's BETTER.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Awesomeness.

 

[MadMan66]

INGO has been my homepage for a while now. I thought my page failed to load properly and then let out a loud "what the hell?" to which my fiance replied with a startled "what is it?!" I got the typical eye roll after a I said INGO has changed.

 

[hornadylnl]

Is there any way to enlarge the go to new post arrow for each thread? The new style is even smaller than before.

 

[gunman41mag]

guess it's time for new glasses

I've browsed around the forum on my laptop and iphone in the last hour and have found multiple things that I like better. Once you old skool INGOers get used to the changes I think you'll find more pluses than minuses but, just like with anything new, there will be some kinks to fix.
