Well that's at least something. The legacy of forum posts is the most precious thing.mattmos wrote:Hoping it will be possible to salvage the bulk of the forum data, but front page functionality is another matter

Re: xsibase "may harm your computer" [???]
I removed my Browser in a Box post, although a virtual machine running only a browser really can come in handy with sites known to be infected with malware.

That sounds very serious. When it comes to not knowing if you can salvage the complete database, wouldn't it be best to put the xsibase in some kind of archive mode (no logon/no new posts) temporarily, as you might otherwise lose your newest posts anyway? Apart from the fact that the forum now only gets visited by users "who dare", making the continuation of certain threads problematic IMHO (Chris Chia's bug thread to name one).mattmos wrote:Hoping it will be possible to salvage the bulk of the forum data, but front page functionality is another matter
Stay safe, sane & healthy!

Any news on this front? I'm avoiding XSIBase these days, because of the malware, but I miss it.
BTW: IE9 and Opera do not mention any threat. Chrome and Firefox do.

I'm avoiding it too. I just don't want to take the chance.
Is this how it's going to be from now on? I seriously hope not.
