planthelper Posted December 28, 2005 the admin there says, he's panel is down so he can't do anything right now. anyway hebrew did tell him about your problem and i am sure he will try everything possible once his admin panel functions again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dozuki Posted February 22, 2006 If someone could also pass along a message that the forums' registration in messed up that would be good too. I tried to join, but it gave some error codes, logged my user name and then says I have the wrong info when I try to log into it under that name (Dozuki). Thanks. -D.

apothecary Posted February 23, 2006 It doesn't look like eccles is interested in helping. Hasn't replied to any SMS nor have I been able to actually call him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzito Posted February 23, 2006 You sure he doesn't have a new number? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted February 23, 2006 He very well might, but it's the only contact number I've got. I mean for all I know he could've moved or whatever. The only other contact info I have is the address in the whois records, I don't want to rock up to his house considring I've never met him. Maybe I'll just drop a letter into his letterbox lol.

Torsten Posted February 25, 2006 I remember something about thw whois record not being his exact private contact details. Eccles stressed to me once that privacy was important to him in regards to the forums/site. I don't know if that has changed or not, but if it hasn't then I doubt you'll get a reply from those details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaBReT00tH Posted February 25, 2006 could someone please help, I changed some of my profile information in the EBA forums and then got an e-mail which said: Your account on "Ethnobotany Australia" has been deactivated, most likely due to changes made to your profile. In order to reactivate your account you must click on the link below: (then had a link) Now I cannot login to the EBA forums and can't fix it because the link does not work. Arghhh!

SaBReT00tH Posted March 1, 2006 does anyone have any solutions? I don't know what else to do, I'm stuck not being able to get into EBA!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hebrew Posted March 1, 2006 give us tiem mate it will all be sorted soon things are progressing i beleive and it will be up and ready in the near future sorry abotu the problems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaBReT00tH Posted March 5, 2006 anyone know if the reactivation link is working yet? I can't login or reply to any posts at all in EBA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerbil Posted March 5, 2006 If things get fixed we will post about it, things aren't fixed at the moment as already stated so there's not much we can do. We really have our hands tied in that no one has admin access except for the person we are chasing and possibly one other. Stop clicking the reactivation link. I don't know much about it, and have never personally seen it, but come to think of it, it's probably part of the original hack that went on, just like the password dump screens etc. You're just going to have to view and not post for the time being, sorry but we can't do anything.

teonanacatl Posted March 9, 2006 if someone else hacked it couldnt one of our mob hack it? comon i know there hasta be some hackers in here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted March 9, 2006 (Good) hackers usually patch after themselves after they're done so nobody else can get in and do what they did again. I tried, but I couldn't get in, maybe I'm not good enough anymore...it's been a long time since I was the one on the outside trying to get in lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted March 9, 2006 isn't the security problem with the EA forum software a documented case and hence would you not be able to look up examples of exploits that affect this version and then copy them? How about the developers forums for the software? anyone there who might be able to help? this situation is just ludicrous.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted March 9, 2006 Those are the exploits I tried Torsten. No dice. I don't have the coding knowledge to write my own custom exploits really. If someone breaks in via a hole and then patches the hole behind them so nobody else can exploit it, it makes it kind of hard :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gomaos Posted March 9, 2006 (edited) does anyone have any solutions? I don't know what else to do, I'm stuck not being able to get into EBA ok, for whatever it's worth here's the way I log in every day: 1. Bring up EBA Site http://ethnobotany-australia.net/community...5bbbaa9b3b8889b then 2. DON'T click on "Log in to check your messages" but click only "Log in" enter your name and password click "enter" 3. A white page will come up that says "This page cannot be displayed" etc etc blablabla minimize this page or click it off and 4. Click on the EBA link again. You should now be logged in.....
