Main Page went Kaput
The main landing page, so to speak, isn't working for. Is it for anyone else? I can navigate by going to http://www.dallas-mavs.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=15, and also http://www.dallas-mavs.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=3 for the other pages, but not by my bookmarked page.
BTW, everything else works. Even the control panel, member list, etc.
EDIT: Got it, http://www.dallas-mavs.com/vb/index.php is gone, but going to www.dallas-mavs.com (which redirects to http://www.dallas-mavs.com/vb) still works.
EDIT 2: Clicking on the logo at the top of th epage takes you to http://www.dallas-mavs.com/vb/index.php which, as you might've guessed, does not work. Clicking on Dallas-Mavs.com Forums at the top of the hierarchy of the forums sends you to the non-functioning page as well.

I know I'm pissing someone off who's working on this as we speak, but www.dallas-mavs.com/vb/ isn't working anymore, effectively leaving those people who want to access the site ass out, so to speak.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this. Luckily I have bookmarks on other pages of this website, otherwise I probably wouldn't have been able to access it.

I know, it's gone too. It worked for all of 5 minutes.
Sidenote: I love Opera for not refreshing a page every single time I hit back. Hey IE, how about you just give me the cache?

Uhhh Hey guys...
Wow, something is still here? I figured it was just kablooey. I couldn't get to the main page and I didn't even think to try anything else. I get your reported post, bernardos, that's how I got "in".

I also can't access the main page or the forum index. Like bernardos, I can access any of the individual subfourms by just changing the number in the php code in the URL.

Thanks bernados!

This explains why the cussing thread is so dormant right now.

Just for those of you who don't know this, just go to Google and search for Dallas-Mavs.com and then go to the cached link - everything then works, though the main page shows that posts are old. When you enter the forums though it works fine and has new posts.

This wasn't helpful to me at all.

When you try to go to the main page, if you watch your browser's activity indicator in the lower left, it's trying to pull some code from some very strange-looking external websites (e.g., "poloen.in").

I'm a computer dummy too, but I got trojan shortly after navigating to the blank main page. No idea if its related or not.
There seems to be some sort of connection, whenever I go to that page, my browser wants to install a plug-in, and that's when all hell breaks loose.

This morning, Google Chrome flagged the main page saying that it was linked to some malicious site called "gfjdjd.in/x"....

Looks like one of Fish's 75-member staff is trying to take us out before the big LeBron-to-Dallas trade...

Is there any way the mods might be able to wrest a bit of control from DJ?
It'd be nice if someone who actually participates in this forum could have the authority to fix problems when they arise...
I hate going over to the db.com boards for Mavs news...

I noticed what appeared to be something trying to load up on our computers when going to the home page. It opens a command CMD window, then opens up another informational pane trying to help you with links. On one of my computers, a pop-up asking for permission to proceed with an unknown publisher kept coming up, and I would deny. It kept coming up again and again, would not allow me to do anything else unless I proceeded with installation. I got nervous, so I rebooted...
So far my anti-virus hasn't picked up anything...hope nothing went through...
Be interesting to see what you guys find out. Looks like someone hijacked the home page.

Has anybody successfully contacted DJ about this?
It's a shame to see the board so dead after re-signing Haywood...

But it also shows you who the TRUE fans are. We're willing to brave trojan virus attacks for the chance to share our sports thoughts about Brendan Haywood's resigning.

Anyway, on an unrelated note, it would indeed be nice if there was someone to take care of these things somewhat quickly. Being in charge of a managed server (and calling the webhosting company in case of an external attack) and managing a vbulletin isn't the most trying task in the world.

Ok, so bernardos70 wants me to say that somehow he was logged off from the site from all of the places he logs in at. When he tries to log in, it takes him to a blank page, so I guess once you're logged out you can't log back in.
And also, yesterday when I first got the trojan thing, a Java 6 screen came up acting like it was loading something. I'm only saying this because other people have been describing whatever they see.

Noticed as well that I had to log into all of my regular sites...I hope it's not one of those virus/trojan things that records your logins....Might want to monitor your bank/credit card logins, etc....

Good news is I guess my anti-virus prevented the completion of the download...In the past I accidentally downloaded that fake anti-virus trojan which knocks off your existing anti-virus program and is nearly impossible to remove without basically wiping out your hard drive...
I am surprised though at how long it is taking admin to fix the homepage...4 or 5 days of this should be enough...

Yeah, once you log out you're screwed, as far as I can tell. I accidentally logged out on my other computer.
I'm guessing several users aren't able to access the site at all anymore.

The kid in me loves the frosted flavor...
But the Jew in me is kinda pissed off that I just paid for another year's membership on this site...
Where's my refund, DJ??

The mods are communicating on email, but none of us have dj's email address and we can't get into the moderator control panel to get it.
We are royally boned atm, but we're trying.
