What was done before the problem appeared?
site went down


What was done to try to solve the problem?
reloaded a backup



De.scription and Message

The site went down.. dont know if we were hacked or what.. (we are constantly attempted upon)

Anyway, couldn't connect to the database.. all chmods were altered so I uploaded a backup.. all files and a DB.
Now we get a really strange problem on both ie and firefox..

On every page load we get "If your browser doesn't support meta redirect please click here".
This pops up even in the shoutbox popup.
Any ideas what would cause this?

I'm not seeing the issue, nor your forum have you disabled?

My sites there..
I fixed the problem.. not to worry

The message about redirecting can be removed, but the problem it's informing users of will still be there. Look in includes/functions.php for this:

[code]       // Redirect via an HTML form for PITA webservers        if (@preg_match('/Microsoft|WebSTAR|Xitami/', getenv('SERVER_SOFTWARE')))        {           header('Refresh]

If you take out the message, then it won't show the link... but the delay will still be there, because the server's it's testing for do not always work correctly with redirections. You could just comment out the code to test if you're on a fixed version of IIS...
