DOS Games Discussion

FP = Fucking Problem BTW.

Anyways, i'm working on a project for my uncle on a Fedora Core machine, and I decide to check out the forum since I was basicly on break. Now I go here, sign in, and start looking at new topics. I see JMS's obvious spam topic, so I click on edit (To remove the SPAM link. BTW: JMS, this is another warning) and it reads:

So i'm like, "Heh, looks like I got fired.", but then it redirects me to login.php and you know how it saves your username in the box? The username read 'emmzee'. So I looked at the bottom of the page, and there was a link to the Administration Panel. Thus, I can declare that I was signed in as emmzee for a period of 2 or 3 minutes using my username and password without realizing. For some odd reason, I am unable to sign in now under Kazer0 (Probably just need to clear some cookies), but it still says Admin Panel at the bottom of every page. Here, i'lll take a screenshot:

Well, ill take one when I figure out how to do that in linux... Nevermind, apparently it's too complicated, but heres the page bottom:

Anyways, so I cant do anything. I cant get in admin, iI cant log in as Kazer0, and according to the top of the page, im not logged in at all. All I did was log in today...

Huge problem here emmzee... I don't want to be you. According to google, your an idiot. [/quote]

OMG: This is Kazer0. I seem to be posting as emmzee as well, although i't doesnt show me as logged in!!

BTW: I swear that i'm not hacking, or trying to hack the board. I signed in as Kazer0 and this happened.

Yarr, go fuck yourself, traitor motherfucker.

wardrich as guest (TEST)

This is emmzee as ... uh, himself, testing a post ...

Test (Kazer0)

tis strange... and, I'm sure K0 has a billion better things to be doing than hax0ring Emmzee's acct... very odd tho. I wonder what could posess php to do this?

-Richard-

I (Kazer0) posted on phpBB general section to do ask, but I cant even post as a guest.

I (real emmzee) posted on the phpBB support forum ... so we'll see if anyone replies ...

Wow, that is very, very weird... I could try de-activating and re-activating your accounts, though I don't know how much good that'd do.

There, K0 and Emmzee's accounts are no longer active-just in case this might be exploited by another user. <strike>This is but the first step in my campaign to wrestle control of this forum from your incompetant hands and into the firm domain of the dark lord dre! MWAHAHAHAHA!</strike> I have absolutely nothing to do with this, btw. Do you have a link to the post in the phpBB support forum?

Real emmzee posting

The link is here but it doesn't seem like there will be any replies:

[Edited out by Kazer0: Posts that long seem to hate phpBB 2.0.2.]

Hey n00b, for 1, don't steal the upgrade patch from the phpBB site, as they want you to use it off their own site. 2: Had to edit it out. Some other wierd bug just made the post look stupid.

BTW: I'm home now, so it probably won't do it again as I probably won't be on that other PC till next summer.

well Its time to upgrade and dont start putting people down as you get home.

Start a fresh..

K0: where was that other computer?

In my experience this can happen quite a lot with phpBB. Something to do with the database, I guess.

My Uncles house in Toronto. I run Windows 2000 w/ IE, and he runs Fedora Core 1 w/ Mozilla.

Well hopefully this isolated incident never happens again and we can forget about it
