Forum Downtime (Maintenance)

[aarinfantasy]

Nope. It didn't help. Still not working in any of my browsers or my phone.

I just checked and your account can't get in Inbox etc.
So I don't think is your browser or anything on your side.
Just saw Dai-kun messaging you about it, so please wait for him to check. Sorry about that >_<;;

Settings and private messages don't work for me either. I think the issue appeared today for me? Now I'm using Firefox, Vista.
Now it works. Apologies for that, and thank you for all your hardwork!

I found out the problem but am working on a solution now.

[Dai-kun]

Pm, inbox and settings still don't work for me.

I've fixed the issue, but it stems from a larger problem. One of your PM folders had a special character and when the database was upgraded, it was in the wrong encoding so it couldn't convert that special character properly, leading to your error. It's the Wa*ne folder, which I renamed to Wayne, not sure what it was before. But you should have access now.

@Dai-kun ; My account has banned or sent an infraction to account user @cruciatus ; without my knowledge and I was not even online in the forum at the time.
Poor cruciatus thought he/she was banned by me.
I wonder if we can check on this further?
It's strange and a coincidence(?) there's an attempt to login my email and Instagram account from another country too, also yesterday.

So if anyone has got banned or received anything weird from my account yesterday, please let me know asap. I have not been giving any infractions or warnings to anyone for many months.

After discussion with Dai-kun, we will look into security issues asap. For now, there's no major damage or anything like that in the forum. We will make sure there will be no more such things happen since this is the most important.

However, my Twitter account which is associated with the forum's staff email has been hacked (confirmed) exactly the same time the above happened, and I have took a lot of time to change all the things/security needed to change there, making sure that Twitter no longer associate with any other emails other than my own. All my posts and people I followed are gone there, but the posts that I liked and followers still remains there. So I am pretty bummed out about that ~_~

@aarinfantasy; so should I rather unfollow your twitter account now? Or do oyu plan to kind of get it back?!

[Araka]

@bronakopdin;
I'm pretty sure she already got it back ^^

@aarinfantasy; so should I rather unfollow your twitter account now? Or do oyu plan to kind of get it back?!

You don't need to unfollow.
I got it back, but all my side of data like who I followed, my pictures, my posts are all gone. No way to recover them as the hacker deleted them all and put his own pic and posts on it. Good news is he did not remove the people that's following my account, other people's posts that I Liked, my inbox messages.
I've changed every detail and settings for that account so it should be safe now.

I was in some sort of panic mode yesterday about this and my own forum account issue yesterday (which I suspected got hacked but it can be some tech error since it only did one thing in the forum which is banning one random person), luckily Dai-kun and Twinstar were online to chat and calm me down.
I have lots of bad luck ultra rare incidents happening around me this one week, so my anxiety and stress level totally shot up.
