The [you] hack results
 

I just received an interesting message regarding the [high][disable][you][/disable][/high] hack put out by Mutt. I have a forum on my site that is set up with the code in the forum title so it always shows as the user's forum (it is called "Boofos private Forum" when I am looking at it). Here is the actual note (name and other information has been removed for privacy reasons) I received.

Everyone else has had a blast with it. I kind of figured this would happen someday though. I will not remove the hack OR the forum, but anyone attempting this, this is what can happen. ;)

OMG. :D

If you don't mind me I am going to copycat your idea in my forums. :)

Go for it. ;)

By the way, the bbcode in dovars didn't work for the whole site. It just worked for the bbcode part. Not the navbar or thread[title] or anything else. ;)

Hmm... I'll have to think about this one. ;)

Oversensitivity rocks!

Don't it, though? :) The sad thing is, his registration had nothing whatsoever to do with the forum or him seeing his name on it. Registration information is kept totally confidential on the site. There are bound to be those that don't have a very keen sense of humor about such things.

Yes, and while you're at it. Rename Zed's forum to something else... :D:D:D

Zed's forum? It says Boofo's Private Forum when I log in. ;)

You know, you can make a private forum like this by just setting permissions so he can only see his own threads.

Hah, nice idea :p
