    Default Website issues

    Hi all
    Earlier on today some lowlife unemployed bum that insist the world owes him/her a living hacked this website and diverted all visitors to another site pushing some right-wing BS propaganda. You will also have received some spam purporting to come from me. I can assure you that this email did not come from me and I have no association with these idiots so please stop replying and calling me names

    I've restored the site as much as I can from here at work but I have more (a lot more) work ahead of me.

    I just need 5 minutes alone in a room with the douchebag that did this.....

    Alright we're back The website has been restored almost to the point that it had to shut down which is more than I hoped for. There are a few minor changes. The website software has been upgraded and patched and the forum statistics that were at the top of the main page are gone. I'll probably put them back soon though, I just want to make sure they don't open us up to another attack. You may also notice that font size on Advanced Reply is now larger! Yay!!

    Ok then, carry on as you were....

    Oh also...if you notice anything weird that used to work and now doesn't, please let me know. There are a few 'features' in the latest version of the forum software that I may not understand that well

    Thank you so much, Andrew!! I made some pretty fierce comments about this mess on Twitter.

    I like the new look a lot. And "like" buttons-- sweet. And auto-save! But what is the little blue square above each post, that says "Default" when you hover over it?

    I also like the new "share" feature! If someone posts a good joke, a cool photo, or something of general interest about Wegs, I can easily share it with my Facebook friends (many of whom don't know I have Wegs, but I guess it's about time to let the cat out of the bag).
