Do Not Panic!
We have had a small security problem tonight, and suggest that you change your password. If a friend is acting strange or unlike themselves, please report it to a User Admin. Styles have been disabled until we solve this issue :)! Notice: This is not a Subeta issue, but an issue with Firefox. They are supporting a CSS tag that allows cookie grabbing (not what it's supposed to do, of course, but abused it can). :(! There is very little we can do to prevent issues like this. Regardless, if you use FIREFOX, changing your password is a VERY GOOD idea. ❤ Update: We have updated various areas of the site to stop this exploit from being possible. However, if you are using Firefox and have browsed Subeta in the past day, it's still a good idea to change your password. I'd also like to note, that this is not an excuse to go running back to Internet Explorer, which has just as many (if not more) exploits and possible problems :)

Thankies Keith! glomps

Yeah, that was pretty weird the whole thing. Since I wasn't on my own computer where I normally use FF (I've been using IE all day), I shouldn't need to change anything right? (I already changed my pw and logged myself out during the crazyness.)

xD Makes me glad this is Subeta. You guys actually tell us stuff and don't try to cover it up like some other places. cough neo cough

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

I'm sure everything will be fine. You can't expect everything to be resolved immediately.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

-sighs- Debi and Keith have switched places.

I hope everything will be restored.

drag0nslayer: Does your sister know what email she was using for her Subeta account? If she does, she can have her password sent to her email.

I changed my PW, and then I couldn't log on, then I tried in Safari, couldn't log on, and I'm stuck in IE, finally logged on. How bizzare. I just hope I can log onto FF soon

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

Nope! No need to change browsers, we've already eliminated the problem (by removing style tags) and are working to solve the problem completely in the future (along with all other browsers, incase they incorporate this tag as well)

IrishJessie: There is a slight delay to get back onto Subeta after you change your password, I believe.

ChickenNoodleSoup: At the top of Firefox, it says 'Tools', and you click on that. Then you click 'Clear Private Data', and choose cookies from there

I changed my password, but now I can't login in Firefox anymore! (I'm writing this from Internet Explorer) Is that a glitch?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

Thanks for letting us know, Keith. I'm an avid Firefox fan, but I changed my password and switched to using Internet Explorer for the time being.

A question, though: how do you delete cookies, or clear them, or whatever you do with them? I know very little when it comes to cookies, and I'm not sure what to do about them. Can somebody help me?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

Are firefox users the only ones affected, or should everyone change passwords? I use opera, and have for a long time (I dont think I've ever used firefox on subeta), and I'm curious if I should worry about my account...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

Oh man I am the deffiniton of perdictable!! I need to go change my pass again!!

Keith, is the Netscape browser (Mozilla engine) vulnerable like Firefox? And were the cookies only grabbed if you answered the bogus Trivia question? I.e., are you safe as long as you didn't answer the Kaos trivia question?
