when the BBcode gets enabled will all the codes we post during this cold period be showed? or will we have to retype or something?
No, they will not be showed. You would need to edit your post for them to re-appear. Similarly, comments will not show BBcode after its re-enabled.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

That's a hassle. ;w;

Ahhh I shouldn't have updated my signature. :<

Yep.I know exactly how you feel ;_;

When I was updating my sig, I was like, why are the codes showing instead of my sig and then I read this post and it totally broke my heart. </3

That is most likely because you already have that signature there for a long time now and the ones affected are those that are recently added/updated, so don't update it for now.
update: I think your signature is not an image though..
Senjougahara: Don't call me "this chick"
Araragi: Then what should I call you?
Senjougahara: Senjougahara-sama.
Araragi: SEN - JOU - GA - HAA - RAA - SAA - MAA
Senjougahara: I don't like the way you say it. Say it properly.
Araragi: Senjougahara-chan~

Does this have anything to do with the site redirecting me to the first page when I click "last" example: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=333065&redirect=1

BBcode needs to be down until the clean up and patching is done otherwise infection spreads
and we'll be seeing more red and dead

take MAL offline
a few hours (or half-day) should be fine

run malwear scan
after malwear has been located and torn to pieces
plug up security holes, make sure holes are all filled please-s

software patches update to latest
make sure all incoming input to server side is made safest

code module should be there to parse and remove all inputs that identify funny
otherwise users end up stepping on things that aren't honey

no need to chase perpetrator(s)
FBI cyber crime division is for that kind of labor(s)

ok my rap sucks but whatever :P

PS: remember to backup before doing anything

and I think that's about the gist of it,
not that i really know anything of anything hehe :D

It says that the issue has been resolved, so now isn't necessary to block all those domains?

Made backups for anime/manga lists in any case.

You should keep them blocked anyway, so someone doesn't get you with them on some other site.

I'm not sure if this question has been asked yet but is there any sign that our passwords/emails have been leaked? As stupid as it is, I do only use one password for all my accounts and last time this happened on LastFM I just ended up changing my password on all my accounts that I cared about. Just wondering if I should take the same course of action again this time.

It's just easier for me to remember one password than keep all my passwords stored on some file. If I went too crazy with passwords I'd waste time figuring out what goes where.

Your password has not leaked. We do not store unhashed passwords anywhere on the site so it is not possible for them to leak. However if, for example, someone manages to bruteforce your password, you will be giving them free access to all of your personal information. I cannot stress strongly enough that I do not recommend doing this. Do not take the chance. Especially since you've just posted publicly that you do this.

Please change your passwords immediately.

I thought BBCode is only disabled on signature, but I realized I can't use it on comment as well.
I hope the BBCode will be enabled soon, because it feels really inconvenient like this. :/

I've been keeping quiet about the whole BBCode issue for a long time because I thought it would be back up soon, but it's been far too long now. Is there any estimate or date of when the BBCode will be enabled again? I mean, it's been a really long time and I don't see exactly what the holdup is.

I know it was first disabled because of gratuitous pictures being put up on MAL, but the fact of the matter is that it is close to impossible to stop those guys from doing what they do. As far as I'm concerned, you should ether A) completely disable the BBCode forever, or B) take a chance and enable it.

I wish there were other options - I really do, but this is just how the internet works.

Just my thoughts....

Please enable BBCode. I feel it's unfair that some people have signature images when some others don't.
*sigh* How I wish I didn't change my signature so I'd still have it by now... :(

From the looks of things, people who previously had signatures will still be able to see it, don't think I will change my signature for a while then.

For those who know how to protect themselves, I made a userscript that enables potentially unsafe bbcode (e.g. img and url) at client side:

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/178310

I haven't conducted extensive testing but it is working so far for me.
Let me know should you encounter any problem.

Maybe it's still disabled because the site staff is tired of having to deal with all the gore images popping up(wouldn't blame them)left and right, and they're hoping if it's off for a while the hostile user(s) will lose interest?
