READ ME: Validation/Password Reset Issues
manta2g replied to BronxWench's topic in Archive Tech Support
Sounds like there has been an ip change since the account was authorized. (Very strict security protocol to prevent account hijack.) I'm on my mobile right now but once I get home, I'll be happy to help sort this out. @Kei0523 I'm going be available between 6pm and 9pm central. We can fix this via private forum messages or vis aff's facebook messenger. -
Anon reviews are disabled for site security. After 4 months in read only, we did not want to leave any opening for another round of injection attacks.

Missing punctuation in story summaries
manta2g replied to GeorgeGlass's topic in Archive Tech Support
Like with search, anything that could be used as part of an injection attack was stripped. I know it’s a bit of an annoyance, but for now please bear with the quirks as I work through the code to re-enable stuff without further risks. The big priority was to just to be able to safely come out of read-only mode. -
Looks like it is the site CSS doing it. The correct tags are saved, but the CSS is overriding the default for them. Will tackle this when not ragged from the day job.

If anyone is feeling generous:
-
fixed
-
If you replace the chapter it will fall into the newer formatting, so it will look like chapter 34
-
The font type and size are controlled by the site style sheets so that users don't accidentally break page layouts.
-
Story manager unlocked for posting new stories and chapters. (this is a test run so make sure you have backups of what you post.)

I tend to keep a copy on my hard drive, another copy on a flash drive, and a third copy on Google Docs.
Yes, I have lost an entire document.

Thank you so much for all your work and dedication. I’ve already posted two new chapters in one of my fics and setting up a list of posts to make. You are the best.

@Wilde_Guess Humm bio worked when tested. Avatar should be working. It can be picky on image urls.

The avatar can be VERY picky on image urls.

The problem was actually a display related issue entirely on my end. Features work as advertised if used correctly. Thanks.
-
It’s going by user ID, oldest to newest. Keeping track of any oddities and will address those by the end of the week.

Doing 10 at a time every minute. It's barely a quarter done as I type.

Congrats on all your hard work. We appreciate it.

**Quietly unlocks a few site functions.** Work has been hellish, been barely able to stay awake long enough to eat dinner most days...
-
Ate garlic? Sacrificed a virgin? Sprinkled the holy water to keep our pesky hooligan away? I’m hoping this time’s the charm to keep our website!
-
It’s going to be a bit slow, and there is a lot more account security that has been implemented.
Keep an eye on your e-mail, everyone is going to have to re verify their account and change their archive password.
-
-
Login, then logout and reset password via forgot password. If you can’t log in, you need to e-mail tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org with the e-mail address for your account, and they will send an authorization link you will need to click before forgot password / password reset will work.

I would love to strangle whomever in HR came up with the less is more policy. Running skeleton crews is not how one runs a customer service based business.

Skeleton crews are only appropriate on Halloween, otherwise, penny wise but pound foolish.

Oh yeah. Got promoted to full time the first thing management did was try to make me work nine days in a row.
That’s the thing I do like about my current gig… it’s paperwork and signoffs to do overtime, it’s illegal for me to work for free, therefore bureaucratic resistance against having to put in extra hours. Gotta love red tape!

Boy do I get that. Of course, I have a micromanaging DM, which is driving me battier than I already am

Just got up for work, cleared it out. this is driving batty….

Cleaned it out.... really frustrating how they are bypassing logins and security protocols.

While it may seem quiet of the surface, it’s been quite busy behind the scenes for AFF.
We’ve been busy doing a security sweep of user accounts. Accounts with invalid or disposable e-mails have been purged.
Currently, we are merging the over 5 k users with duplicate (or more) accounts down to a single account per user.-
No worries, we appreciate the work you’re doing.

My day job has been a gong show of late, troubleshooting AFF's woes has remained on my mind.
Hoping to start the first phase of unlocking the site this week. So don't be surprised if you get an email asking to re-verify your email and to change your password.

Sorry this was my bad, between haste and fatigue I uploaded the wrong version… Fixed now.
-
Actually profiles are fine, when locking stuff down I uploaded the wrong file version by mistake, fixed now. Profiles are not created upon registration & activation, they are optional to allow for privacy and can be created at a later date. (current not possible during read-only mode.)
-
Full read only mode. Hacker attacked the chapters tables. Thier malice is wearing on my nerves. Dg and I will deep dive after our respective day jobs.

i won’t pass

That’s really annoying. I’m sure you’ll get it done.
-
What I’m hoping is that by looking at some logs, given the time it occurred, I may be able to find something out. Won’t know until I try it.

Caught the ass hat hacker in the act….. The ass is a member and targeting the story manager story info update. Restored the db from an earlier clone and have now laid a trap….

I’m making progress, turned updating off for now as I don’t want a breach while I’m at work. That being said, looks like they were bogged down by the trap that they didn’t get too far. You can post new stories and chapters, but editing existing is turned off.
-
thanks for your work manta!
-
We’re going to need an extra special wicker man for this ass hat, aren’t we?
-
Profile editing, registration, activation, and password reset unlocked.
Next unlock and backup in a few hours.
