Hi guys,
Unfortunately, I received notification of a security issue affecting the forum. The issue was with the [flash] BBCode tag - on browsers using the WebKit rendering engine (Chrome and Safari) as well as the Opera browser, the [flash] tag could have been used to execute Javascript, thereby causing a cross site scripting vulnerability.
I've just finished patching this up, and also upgraded the forum to the recently released 3.0.8 version at the same time. If you notice anything broken, please notify me via private message ONLY.
Apologies for any inconvenience the sudden and unannounced downtime may have caused.
