    Incase anyone is having forum problems today, just a quick heads-up that there's a worm going around the net that attacks PHPBB platforms (and the integramod varient that Priuschat runs on).

    PC "should" be safe as it has the latest security patches, however the extra traffic is slowing things down and can cause occasional SQL out of memory errors.

    I think Danny might be on vacation right now, so just posting in the meantime to let everyone know what's going on until he gets back.

    (Danny: there is a .htaccess file you can add to the apache webserver config that filters-out the worm requests:

    http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=249010

    You need to have mod-rewrite enabled, and make sure that there's an AllowOverride AuthConfig command enabled for your webserver directory. Worked fine on my system, just PM me if you want the details).

    Thanks for the heads up. I had been wondering if it was just me!
