I’m just so proud and happy to announce the grand re-opening of our brand new, deluxe, sexy, feature-rich forums. (We will of course continue to tweak and improve as needed!) Vanilla under-promised, over-delivered (all the while being super nice, why are Canadians so damn nice?!) and our little forum SWAT team at Plex worked straight through the holiday weekend and ridiculously long hours all week, testing, skinning, configuring, working closely the whole time with the Vanilla crew. Well, Vanilla said, we’re fresh out of time machines, but we’ll start right away. We need a clean SSO solution that’s easy to integrate, we said. No problem, Vanilla said, we can import that. We have years of old posts and attachments, we said. Apparently quite a few people at Vanilla use Plex, and they noticed that our forum, well, fell down and couldn’t get up, like that one drunk uncle at your wedding. Then, out of the blue, I got an unsolicited email from Jase at Vanilla forums. Do any of you remember college finals week? That hellacious end to every semester where you had to abandon your regular schedule of beer pong and start learning to solve differential equations? To this day, I still have recurring nightmares where I have a final in the morning but - for no apparent reason - I’ve never attended the class.Ĭlearly I digress, but that’s what this last week has felt like.Īfter learning that the vulnerability exploited in our forums was a zero-day at the time, and having dealt with a number of other security issues over the years with the forum, we had a real challenge on our hands.
