Everyone,
Our forum software has now been updated, containing functionality improvements, bug fixes, and an important security fix:
Additionally, I have made the decision to revert our forum theme to the default version as shipped by XenForo.
There are a number of reasons for this, some of which include:
- The default theme is more reliable. There were a number of bugs with the old custom theme, including, but not limited to, the editor for when making topics and posts. Some functionality simply did not work as it should have. That functionality now works fine.
- Using the default theme is easier to maintain. Whenever XenForo release an update, there are usually template changes that have to be manually applied. By using the default theme, we don't have to worry about that anymore.
Whilst the new theme is not as tasty on the eyes, it will provide a more reliable browsing experience, which is far more important than aesthetics.
More information about the 60+ changes in this update can be found at https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforo-2-1-10-patch-2-released-includes-security-fix.180901/
P.s. I will add the SFSE logo back shortly
Thanks!
Our forum software has now been updated, containing functionality improvements, bug fixes, and an important security fix:
The issue is a XSS vulnerability. XSS (Cross Site Scripting) issues allow scripts and malicious HTML to be injected into the page, potentially allowing data theft or unauthenticated access. The vulnerability requires some very specific steps to be taken, involving pasting malicious content into the XenForo rich text editor, which may mean it is difficult to trigger.
