In Topic: What do you like/hate about the DevMaster forums?

09 April 2013 - 10:24 PM

I agree, 'unread posts' is a must-have. Anybody else have any other things they'd like to add?
There's a lot of features in the current forum software that are unused, so a lot of cruft can be cut down, but I want to make sure we don't overlook something.

@rouncer, what was wrong with Reedbeta's post exactly?

Yes, it looks like DevMaster has been recently compromised by a security vulnerability of the forum software. We've been trying to investigate if other systems were compromised. So far, it looks like only the forums database was affected, from which the emails were obtained. The forums software has already been patched with the latest security updates.

Unfortunately, due to the popularity of the forum software we're using, such security vulnerabilities are inevitable. However, this really speaks to the importance of ensuring we regularly stay up-to-date with the software. We're going to take measures to ensure such updates are applied immediately after they're announced.

We're deeply sorry for this. In the coming months, we'll be overhauling the forum software with a custom one that better integrates with the rest of the site, which will hopefully dramatically reduce the probability of this happening again.

Wow, that's impressive!
Looking at the release notes, it looks like they also have preliminary support for WebRTC. Doesn't that pave the way for web audio?

First of all, I can assure you that DevMaster.net never sells, licenses, or shares your information with third-parties. We take security of the site very seriously, so we'll look into this to determine if there was any compromise.

Please forward me the email that you got to "dia at devmaster.net" and we'll investigate it.
