Re: Bookshelf publications have gone missing!! (35 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
That'snot the only problem--we're having trouble with font size. See Vern's post. JP
That's strange. We didn't change anything with font size. Can someone send me a screenshot. I'm not able to recreate the problem. Thanks!

Re: Is the site running slowly? - Bugs (12 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Yes, that page is loading slowly. We'll take a look. We made some changes to the site to increase security and it might have caused a loading issue. Thanks for letting me know.

It's definitely a glitch. We removed features stories for now until we have the problem straightened out.

Re: Site Bug (19 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
The problem is not from hackers but from a bug. We made some updates and it seems to have caused a few problems. We're working through them and should have them resolves shortly.

Re: Hacked (6 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I don't think this is a hack. It's probably a technical glitch. We're looking into it.

Re: How to hide my forum threads from Google? - Site Usage (16 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
This article provides a bit more info about Groups. The moderator can update the group's visibility any time. If you are in a public group, anyone can join and the forum threads are visible. The opposite is true of private groups.

Re: Hacker Mischief (9 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I'm not sure if this is due to the hacker or not. I've gone through a major revamp of my latest novel and deactivated it while making changes. I've made the changes, and published four chapters, but the chapters do not show up- the points were taken, the button says the are active, but the novel itself is inactive. And on the Publish Page, there is no "groups" to publish to. I've never encountered this before. Am I missing something?
Try connecting the novel to the groups it previously belonged to, including Premium. This could be a relic of the hacker. Not sure.

Re: The Hacker (4 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Basic)
Yes, the hacker got back in. I think we resolved the problem. It had to do with groups which is why the hacker was able to mess with the groups. Groups have a lot of control and power so this allowed them to really mess things up, especially with Premium.

Re: Strongest Start (5 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
He might have left the group after he entered. Anyway, he's not eligible to win if he's not in the group since we can't read his entry. No worries.

Topic: Hacker Mischief (9 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Hi all,
A hacker today was able to exploit a security vulnreability on TheNextBigWriter to cause a bit of mischief on the site. The hacker changed the name of several groups and sent private messages to members of the site. We have identified the vulnreability and fixed it.
At no time was your credit card information or password information exposed. Credit card info is not stored by TheNextBigWriter so even a total hack of the site would not provide access to this information. Passwords are encrypted so they also cannot be stolen.
We have reverted the forums to yesterday's state in order to clear out some spammy posts, so anything you posted today is lost. We apologize for this.
I can't guarantee that this hacker will not reappear and try to find and exploit another vulreability. We are always vigilant and do our best to secure the site and protect your data. If you notice anything amiss, please let me know asap.
Thank to everyone who let me know what was happening today and provided me with the information that led to a speedy resolution. And thank you to everyone for your understanding and patience.
Sol
