Featured Replies

Posted

I'm actually disappointed very much. Moved from wordpress and BBpress to IPB, with a hope. Spent $200 and worked on it for last so many days. Implemented all security measures as advised. Today suddenly I noticed a warning in Google search result as your site may have been hacked.

To confirm I reached google webmaster tools, and this is what I get

So disappointing !!! worked on wordpress for so long on various sites! Didn't face any issues

Now please tell me what's the hope to continue putting in effort in IPB?

What version of IPB are you using exactly?

That “suspicious snippet” Google just seems to be a a regular post on your site.

Yes it doesn't appear you were actually hacked. Someone just posted a normal post that Google thought looked odd :)

It looks a bit like spam so that might be why. I would just delete the post.

I've edited the title for you.

Don't believe everything google tells you. They flagged my adsense for showing advertisement along quote "Pornographic imagery or media" which in reality it was simply a thread titled "Twitch boobs" which was a thread dedicated to the recent changes twitch had made *at the time. Worry not and rely on your ssh logs if you're self hosted.

Yeah we once got flagged for malware on this site because people were talking about getting flagged for malware and, of course, naming the types of malware in their posts.

Which URL did you put in? I guess you just the forwarding from /discover to /discover/ or something like that. 
Don’t worry so much. ;-)

all my urls show a / at the end. e.g.,   site.com/forums/

 

why this is so?  Is there any way to get site.com/forums ?

There is a market place plugin (“furl slash”) that can remove it, but unless you have a very good reason to install it, I would stick with the stock functionality.
