Are there any computer programmers or message board guys in the house? I’m getting notifications from the hosting provider saying they are seeing potentially malicious script files on the server. They appear to be standard board files. I don’t know if they have moved away from the design of this board, or if there are other issues. However, they are threatening to shut the board down for “safety”.
I checked with IPS about getting the latest update done (it used to cost like $25 and they would do the update). They advised me that I’d have to upgrade to a version in the 3.x.x range and then upgrade to the new “community” version. The license is $200 and the labor is $625. I don’t believe I’m good enough to do this upgrade without possibly losing the database. I also don’t want the board shut down. So, I’m looking for options. One other option would be to change to different software. I discussed that ten years ago but I don’t know if there’s anything out there that will migrate from this old version of the software and it has to be stable and worth using. So, I’m open to ideas (or possibly donations). Any thoughts? |
