How TheWho is making it look like mods are editing his posts
« on: October 25, 2007, 11:48:58 PM »
Parents: Although some of you might not understand the technical details behind this, it's how a notorious industry shill performs acts of trickery. Your kids, assuming you haven't sent them to some hellhole, might be a great source of info for exploits like this and forums in general...

Make a post. Immediately after you have made it, click Edit Post.

Now leave that window open! Do everything else in a new window.

Now you or someone else can make a reply. If you have created that edit-this-post window from BEFORE someone else has replied to you, you can edit the post in that window WITHOUT the "edited by" message showing up once you're done. I'm not sure if this is on a time limit or what. It probably is.

Edited by me after CTD's reply.

Ok something is definitely up.

This actually did work before.

I'd love to know the details of this.

HEY RANDALL COOK! Are you behind this one?


Randall Cook: Fuck no you looser!

Yeah, well, yanking wizards out from behind curtains is what we do here at Fornits. I'll bet dimes to dollars they've hired an "expert" here. My guess is Randall Cook, because he's the only PHP/forum coder I can name who's fucked enough to do it.

The way it works is this.  I (or theoretically an admin) can edit my post without a trail before a reply is posted in the same thread (does not have to be quoted reply).  It doesn't matter though, we're moving to SMF anyway.  We were thinking of modifying phpbb but just figured it would be easire to wait until we switch to SMF.

It's not a matter of speed, it's a matter of opening the window. I think. It worked in the Web Development forum where I tried it.

Nice try at covering your butts.. the posts were altered, they always have been and I just provided the evidence.  now instead of trying to make me look like the one doing it, why not do your jobs and plug the hole so it cant happen to other people.  There is a hole in your system and no one is going to feel safe posting sensitive information until you get this fixed.  Especially if they work for the industry.

Fix the fucking problem...dont do it for me, fools.. do it for the information you may get from disgruntled employees who may want to post here

Do your jobs and secure the database!!

I really don't want to know, especially if you are actually an admin.

I know that since I looked it up in the PhpBB manual.
