Has anyone else noticed that the font size on the forum is larger this morning?
Not sure if it's just my computer or something else. I made no changes so I'm not sure what it could be.
-
Yea I thought it was something i did on my end. Wounder what happened?
-
I've gone through all the settings and can't find anything that controls font size. Has got to be something from the host, but I have no idea what.
Maybe someone with more IT experience can chime in.
-
Gotta love it, hey i can see now woohooo
-
I hate it!
-
Thats funny, thought it was my PC as well. :laugh:
Until issue is discovered you can change it by holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and rolling your mouse scroll wheel up and down. (If your mouse has one)
-
Yep it's big for me too! I love it! I don't have to squint to see it now! :D
Cool trick with the control button and mouse!

Gary,
When I logged on in the morning my antivirus picked up a virus from a pdf file as soon as the site popped up . Antivirus program fixed it, but when I rebooted I noticed the difference in font size.
Thought it was just my computer?
-
OK. I ran a virus scan last night and also picked up a virus contained in a pdf file. I did not revisit the site until this morning.
I wonder if the virus changed something in some setting somewhere. The strange thing is, the rest of the sites I visit are fine.
-
Might run some malware and adware programs, alot of times the antivirus won't pick these up?
-
So do we need to look for a virus? All other sites are fine for me as well.
-
Norton Internet Security is supposed to, but I may give it a shot anyway.
FWIW, the fonts are larger on my laptop as well and I also ran a virus sca on it last night and it was clean.
-
So you got an error as soon as the site loaded? I've had a similar issue when the server was having problems, but it was always an IE download prompt not an anti-virus warning. Starting to think there is something up on the host end.
Lazylivin, what's your thoughts?
-
Have you contacted the host?
-
Doing that now. Then I'm off to drive bus so I won't be back on until later tonight.
-
Gary,
Default home page is msn and it was fine, as soon as I opened up Ohio Reef antivirus popped up first thing and notified me of a virus in a pdf file.
-
Hmmm.....what page do you have bookmarked? None of our pages should contain a pdf file on them unless it is a post and then you have to download it.
-
I didn't know you were a bus driver!
-
Gary,
Was going to send you the link that I use, site will not get preview for me, just stays on fetching preview?
Try previewing a post once?
-
Gary,
Anyone who wants to change it back you can go to:
Click on View on the browser Menu Bar.
Highlight Text Size with your mouse and notice that you now have 5 choices that will allow you to increase or decrease text size.
-
I have no issues with the font, the size was the same this morning as it was yesterday and now.
-
I did the view and changed the text size, when I left the page and came back the font is large again.
-
Micki,
Can you preview a post before you post it?
-
Let me try...
Yep!
-
I can't from any of my 3 computers?
Have one that says fetching preview now for 38 minutes.
-
Same here
-
Hmmmm, Let me do it again...
It still lets me preview then post.
-
Maybe Gary will find out something from the host!
-
It's an interesting mystery... :)
-
the font looks same as ever for me. However this morning from my mobile i did notice that it doesnt automatically redirect me to the text only site, which is a plus! now i can look at pictures, ect if need be.
-
I thought it was mine as well :laugh:
METZCOOL: that only works for current web browser. Once you close the browser it will reset to the default. Also, if you do this on IE7, it will change it for all the tabs opened in the browser as well. I.E. MSN would then shrink as well as google, etc.
I'm wondering if its an issue with a specific web browser or something like that. I'm running IE7 on multiple computers and they are all doing this.
SCRATCH THAT.....right click on the page and select VIEW SOURCE. You get to view the source on the web pages and I see a lot of .cn (China) betting websites. Appears that the hoster has been hacked and/or the software that runs this website has an exploit for it.
-
a little quick googling http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=http%3A%2F%2Flotultimatebet.cn%2F (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=http%3A%2F%2Flotultimatebet.cn%2F) shows that this is not an uncommon occurrence now. Looks like its an issue with weak scripts on a php based server.

Conflictor is coming to LIFE!!! :laugh:

jeblin,
Where are you seeing the betting site stuff? Can you please email that to me so that I can forward it to our host.
Also, the "quote" option is hanging also. I have a pretty recent back-up of the software itself, looks like I am going to need to upload it.
-
I found it and I sent it to the host. I am probably going to have to upload the back-up I took before I went out of town last weekend. The worst we might lose is some attachments that people uploaded.
-
I am pretty sure that I am definately going to have to upload the back up from last weekend. I'v looked at a couple of the affected files and the ones from the back-up do not have the changes in them, unfortunately, I probably will not be able to get to it until Thursday morning.
-
I think the virus name that infected the web server is Bloodhound.Exploit.196
The reason I think that is because that is what my Symantec Antivirus found when going to our site this morning. Symantec was able to quarantine it. It was in a file called readme[1].pdf and readme[2].pdf
My guess is they already know about it and have cleaned it because it would have infected multiple sites they hosted from that particular web server. + as Ohio Reef members log in they would either get the virus or be prompted by their antivirus software.
-
Can the host run a virus scan?
-
It's still on their server. When I accessed one of my other pages I got a warning from my firewall that it blocked an attempted attack from one of thos *.cn addresses.
-
jeblin,
Thanks for those links. That is definately exactly what happened to our site. I will be uploading the back-up late tonight or early tomorrow morning. I just hope the host has it cleaned up on their end.

If they don't have it cleaned, it's just going to modify the backup files you upload tonight. Normally hosting companies are pretty quick to clean their stuff since most host a LOT of websites and they don't want the reputation of being slow to clean something like this. Just my 2 cents.
For anyone that did not get a warning from their antivirus on here when the first open the page, please check your antivirus software. If you aren't running any, there's a few good free ones out there such as AVG and AVAST.

A good Firewall helps too.
I look at my log in my router and see blocks for this site. The site loads fine for me with no warnings.
The issue is the host needs to fix this and find the site that caused the issue as it may not be Ohio Reef.
-
I am certain it is not Ohio Reef. I have another site that is hosted by the same host and it has been affected as well.
-
Just a reminder to ALWAYS run up to date anti-virus and firewall software!
-
a hardware firewall helps to, the more expensive routers have good ones. NOTE: Not some of the cheaper routers with built in firewall. They are not as good.

BUT even those are better than nothing. In fact, the cheaper routers (linksys, netgear, etc) help to filter out the majority of the "wannabes" who have nothing better to do than play at trying to hack systems.
