| Version 7,9 has been established. After installation of a package of updating (a file http: // zap2.me.uk/7.9_patch.zip) it is impossible to edit messages with nickname Guest. The message on a mistake stands out: Sorry, only members with sufficient permission can access this page. Such mistake at me one or arises at all? Has tried to reinstall a forum. Has established version 7,92. There is precisely same mistake. If to replace a file post_message.asp with an old file from version 7,9 all works correctly. In what the reason? |

A Turkish hacker has written some software that will allow people to edit other users posts. The only way to prevent this is to lock down the editing of posts, as such this also means that there will be problems with editing some posts. As usual this is a problem between functionality and security, and due to some t**sers out there this is just something that you will have to live with at present. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Many thanks , -boRg-, for the fast and detailed answer. 
There was one more problem with support by a forum of creation of files and folders with cyrillic names. I wrote about the given problem here
 : Then I have not received the answer to the question. The decision has found itself. It is necessary to change a fragment of a code of a file functions_filters.asp.
Old Code:
'Loop through the extended ASCII characters
For intLoopCounter = 123 to 255 strTextInput = Replace(strTextInput, CHR(intLoopCounter), "", 1, -1, 0) Next New Code:
'Loop through the extended ASCII characters
For intLoopCounter = 123 to 191 strTextInput = Replace(strTextInput, CHR(intLoopCounter), "", 1, -1, 0) Next After such replacement of mistakes with not cyrillic names of users does not arise.
Taking an opportunity wished to ask, whether you plan to finish a code of a forum for elimination of a similar problem?

I understand....but is this on the list of items to be fixed? And if so, could you give me an idea of when it might be addressed so I can pass it on to my clients? Thanks, Laura |

I have 7.92 and I am logged in as an Administrator and I cannot edit my
users posts.... In the Forum Admin, Edit Posts is set to 'Registered
Users'. Is this the same problem you mentioned above? It says: 'Sorry, only members with sufficient permission can access this page.' ------------- ToJaRo http://www.thesoupbone.com - The SoupBone Community |

Are you sure that you made a correct update, your site says that you are suing Web Wiz version 7.01.
It looks like you did at least not update the two common.asp properly. ------------- Politics, economy & social issues: http://www.studentsfordemocracy.net - StudentsforDemocracy.net |
