Another RPC exploit thread

[NetRyder]

Another one that needs merging:
http://www.ntfs.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=37306

As usual, all I could do was close the thread and move it to the Security forum. No other mods/SMods online at the time. It's the fourth time today. Gah! I need SuperMod access

 

[gonaads]

yeah yeah yeah... nag nag nag...

 

[NetRyder]

Ah you're here! Hit that merge button...chop chop

 

[gonaads]

I did and then your post and my edit of your post ( I changed the thread closed thing ya wrote...) went poof!

But ReC0iL's post got merged... I have no clue.

 

[NetRyder]

Yes, I deleted my post since it was no longer required after the merge. Thanks gonaads

Deleting my own posts is not a crime
...especially when it's to avoid any sort of confusion

 

[NetRyder]

And there had to be a 5th one this morning. Damn!
AGAIN, when a Security mod/SMod gets here:

Once you've merged these threads, please let either myself or gonaads know so we can update the link on the front page sticky. For every merge a new link is created... the threadid= changes.

Members can't discuss the problem if the link doesn't take them to the thread.

Thanks

 

[NetRyder]

Applies more to the person doing the actual merging...but yeah, once the merge is done, either I or the one who did the merging will post in here. Sound good?

Everything's being merged into the linked thread isnt it?

I think the last time you did it, it happened the other way around; i.e., the linked thread was merged into a newly posted thread. That's how the thread title changed to the title of the new thread, and had to be changed again.
I doubt the "threadid" changes if you merge into the linked thread, but I could be wrong. Anyone else can confirm this?

 

[NetRyder]

I'm quite sure we'll see a few more of these threads popping up...but yeah, I also hope we won't need to do this again

[16:56:18] <[e]-Punk> the forum link on the main page..
[16:56:21] <[e]-Punk> has it been merged?
[16:56:32] <Jewelzz> huh?
[16:56:36] <[e]-Punk> so it no longer exists..
[16:56:46] <Jewelzz> oh, yes. think |PK| did it
[16:56:48] <Jewelzz> ****
[16:56:54] <Jewelzz> ok will find the new one
[16:57:11] <[e]-Punk> got a load of mail about it
[16:57:12] <[e]-Punk> hehe
[16:57:22] <[e]-Punk> so I guess lots of people are being hit!
[16:57:42] <Jewelzz> should be updated

Sorry, thought |PK| merged one or some

 

[SPeedY_B]

yeah, just lock em now. gets confusing as **** with all the requests being in one thread. kinda makes a mess of the forums, but i think locking is the way to go for now

 

[NetRyder]

Right. That's what I was doing at first, before I was asked to merge them instead. Will go back to locking threads now, after posting a link to the fix. Makes it easier for me, and all the other mods as well

Here comes another one: http://www.ntfs.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=37334
*Goes off to lock thread*

 

[PseudoKiller]

for some reason earlier the link on the front page to the discussion thread was pointing to a post id which is why there was a problem whenever you merged the the link would then point to the merged post id... Jewelzz brought this up last night.
Now the link on the front page points to a thread id and now posts can be merged with out effect. The link jst points to the first post in the thread...

If this all makes sense please send $5 to my headache fund.

 

[gonaads]

Too many merged threads, not enough coffee! arrrrrggggg!!!

 

[SPeedY_B]

yay for coffee
