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 :)

Musikal, click preferences on the left navigation bar. One of the choices there will be "Password"

It does log you out when you change your password, so don't be alarmed.

I just changed my password, then it took me ages to log back in.
I was scared at first but no I'm fine.
I hope you figure this one out. ^^
Thanks for the warning.

Styles? Like profiles? I came on today, and mine was all gone... Just a bunch of coding in the box... Is that what you mean? Will it be fixed? I spent forever making the darn thing work right...

Does shops not working have anything to do with this?

Also: I guess lookup codes aren't working anymore? Mine exploded.

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

Yikes, I'm glad I was sleeping when this went down or I'd have panicked. I hope things are resolved soon and everything can go back to normal. If I'd been awake, I might have gotten hit by whatever happened, but I'm so relieved my account is fine and untouched.

Thanks for the heads-up, Keith.

If you see a gross topic, please go comment either a MM who looks after that forum or a UA. Don't post it here because they/we don't always look here for forum posts that need to be dealt with.

No, I have an older version as I never liked the newer one. I guess this would be a time to suck it up and try and work with it huh? x_x

changed my password, couldn't lock back in, cleared all my cookies and now I'm able to get back trough firefox

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

Corvinus: Have you got the latest version of Firefox? Mine's fine (although it could be your internet connection itself with the extra stuff from that other site). I guess you may as well try browsing in IE, and if that doesn't solve it... wait until the site's cleared up a bit?

For everyone who cannot log in with FF after changing his/her password!

Try again after a while! I had the same issue, I had to wait for 10 minutes before it accepted my new password..

I hope this will be over soon.

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

I changed my password as advised, but now I find that I cannot log on at all using Firefox. I wonder if this is going to be sorted soon as IE is always slow for me.

i changed my password, but it wont let me log back in i had to log in in ie hopeing this is just a glitch or precaution.

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

^-^;; I kept trying to do lost password because it kept saying that it was incorrect, and... it actually was X.x Now I feel stupid. u.u ::Slinks away.::

Unspoken: Try entering it again. It's possible that it just didn't get entered correctly. If it still doesn't work, I'd suggest trying the "lost password" option.

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

Hmm....I dont know about that....and you're sure that you didn't have caps lock or number lock on?

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

Nyuu-chan2- I think I saw someone else complain about the same problem. Maybe it is a glitch?

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

Unspoken- I doubt that anything would happen if you didn't change your password, but if you want to be sure, what did it say when you tried to change it?

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

Calm down, don't panic.

Nyuu-chan - If you've been trying to reset it a couple of times already, it will make you wait a while before you can request a password reset again.
