Server Issues

March 15, 2018, 08:40:47 PM by Chen Zhen

Attention all members,

We regret to inform all members that we have had a problem with the server regarding the database and files. Our previous host has informed us that they had some hardware issues at their data center whereas the RAID for the HDD that this forum resided on had crashed and all of our data including backups is not recoverable.

We are now using a very reputable host with greater resources. Unfortunately since the backups from the previous host have been lost, we have been set back a few months concerning the database and files. Please forgive us for the inconvenience and remember that Simpleportal.net will always be available so long as the SMF community continues to show this project such a great user base.

Regards,
- The Simple Portal Team

Simple Portal 2.3.7 Released!

December 17, 2017, 08:04:56 AM by Chen Zhen

The SimplePortal Team is happy to announce the release of SimplePortal 2.3.7, code-named "Ghost!" This release includes fixes for the bugs found in the 2.3.6 version.

We urge all users to upgrade to SimplePortal 2.3.7 as soon as possible to take advantage of the bug fixes. A full list of changes for 2.3.7 can be found in the changelog.txt file within the SimplePortal package, but the major fixes are:

Send required session ID in the user info block login form.
Replaced all instances of /e modifier to use callbacks.
Fixed canonical URL for front page mode.
Fixed shoutboxes for multilingual environments.
Properly redirect guests from custom pages.

Unfortunately, there is no auto-upgrade option from 2.3.6 to 2.3.7 due to the number of changes. So, if you are running 2.3.6 or an older version, you can upgrade by following these three steps. You shouldn't lose any data, but for safety, you should always back up before modifying your forum.

Uninstall SimplePortal.
Download SimplePortal 2.3.7.
Install SimplePortal 2.3.7, and you are ready to go!

Finally, please do not use this topic for any support requests. You will get a much more prompt response by posting in Install and Upgrade board.

Thanks for all your support, and keep those bug reports and feature requests coming!
-The SimplePortal Team

Security Breach on Community Forums

June 20, 2016, 05:14:22 PM by [SiNaN]

Dear SimplePortal community members,

On 17 June 2016, we discovered that unauthorized access to our website and database had been obtained on 16 June 2016. We determined that the unauthorized access has been obtained using stolen credentials of a high-level user.

We would like to make it clear that your personal SimplePortal installations were not affected in any way by this. We would like to assure you that your installations running the latest versions of SimplePortal and SMF should be safe. The unauthorized access was restricted to just our website.

The hacker attempted to download our database, but as of yet we are not certain that it was successful. Regardless, it's possible that your usernames, emails and hashed passwords have been retrieved by the attacker.

For this reason, we would like you to change your passwords for this website and we strongly advise you to change your passwords on any other website where you may have been using the same passwords. Using unique passwords on all websites is very important to prevent such attacks. Note that, if you had shared passwords using personal messaging system, they can no longer be considered safe and needs to be changed as well.

To ensure the safety of our website, we have updated all the relevant credentials and rebuilt our installation from the ground up. We will implement stricter security policies in the coming days to make sure that such an unfortunate event does not happen again.

We are truly sorry for what happened and we deeply apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. We hope that you will continue to support us to make SimplePortal a better portal solution for your forums.

-The SimplePortal Team
