vbBux & vbPlaza Removal

[Ziki]

I know why you don't want to reveal the exploits but could you post it in the private coder discussion so other coders can help fixing it?It is a great hack and I believe everybody wants it back as soon as possible

I agree, it would help if we knew the exploits so we could help fix or patch it.

Maybe in the future, these threads could be closed so that only the people who clicked install and the author can view it. This way, new people can't download it but people with it already installed can see about fixing it.

Unfortunately if you announce it i suppose you automatically open all customers who might not have had a chance to disable it, open to be exploited.

It's a good hack, just too many things to mess with when there's an update to the forums, etc....

If members cant use the hack(sine it is disabled) then there would be no risk that I can think of.

Just update the templates manually. That is what i do when there is a new release. It doesnt usually require much effort.

So, is a good idea then when a hack is removed, at least the uninstall features for the mod are still listed? That way, people can remove a problem modification and the files from the server?

Sorry but no, we will not reveal details of the exploits.

But the staff is fixing it right?I think Brad fixed the shoutbox as it is widely used.

No...the protocol says the staff may fix if it time is granted. With the shout box, it was just fortunate that it was fixed by a staff member.

Unfortunately they did a bad job with it, making more bugs.. making Zero Tolerance stop releasing on vBulletin.org

They ?

We've already been down this road in another thread, it doesn't need another discussion here, please stick to the current topic.
