I was curous to see what people on Ikonboard were talking about so I went to http://forums.ikonboard.com/

And got this...

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Ikonboard CGI Error
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ikonboard has exited with the following error:

Can't connect to mySQL database. Access denied for user: 'ib_matt@localhost' (Using password: YES)

This error was reported at: Sources/iDatabase/Driver/mySQL.pm line 55.

Please note that your 'real' paths have been removed to protect your information. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Anyone want to send them a copy of UBB so that their members can chat? wink

Of course the fix that was proposed will not do a damn thing - but A: I've been in that position so I haven't anything bad to say B: Once someone is in the code and fixing that trouble spot I would imagine they will add more then a check for http://

All forum software (and that includes vB too) has been infected by some security bug one time or another. In particular, problems related to [img] have been posted and discussed many times on BugTraq.
