    A very helpful guide, and although it instructs how to fix many vB [****][****][****][****]ups, it's too bad you had to take the time as it could have all been avoided had vB done the job right the first time before releasing crap.

    Right, an exploit went 10+ years without being noticed, the software is pure crap. :rolleyes:

    Finally someone from vB staff has the balls to admit the the shenanigans. 10+ years you say? Shame on them.

    It's totally possible an exploit goes unnoticed for 10+ years. We had a 0day for Windows XP a few months ago and it's a 13 year old piece of software.

    Is this why vb.org is unreachable?
