Hi Mrs. Columbo,

It took me a while to figure out what had happened, because just deleting all of our memberships shouldn't have prevented us from viewing the board, it just would have kept us from posting. Then, when I discovered that everything in the user file was gone, it dawned on me that they also deleted the "anonymous" member data, which means that no one in the world could view the board.

When you open a php bulletin board in your browser, the system searches for a cookie on your computer, that might identify you as a registered member, and if it finds one, then it authorizes you to do whatever you are entitled to do by your permissions, on that board. If the system can't find a cookie on your computer that matches a registration on the board, then it assumes that you are an "anonymous" viewer, who can read, but not post. If the "anonymous" viewer membership data is missing, however, then it won't even let you see the board, and that's what happened, this morning.

It's definitely good to be back home, and the truck is great - much better than I expected. It should last me for more years than I will be likely to need it, unless I never retire. :roll:

Luve,
Galahad

How will that effect us Tex? Boy people are weird out there. What would someone want from this board in that respect? Unless it's personal information, but I don't know what they could get and use. Anyway Glad you are home safe Tex.
Love Oma
May I be more compassionate and loving than yeterday*and be able to spot the idiots in advance

Oma,

It was probably just random vandalism, by someone with too much time on their hands, and nothing better to do - sort of the cyber equivalent of vandalizing mailboxes, out in the countryside.

Love,
Tex
