    The Manage Attachments button is not working for me. Using Firefox, it does nothing at all. Using IE, I get "Error on page" in the info bar at the bottom.

    Is this a problem with the site or my machine?

    Something has gone somewhat tits-up with the forum software and/or database - more info as we get it

    I do not find this characterization appropriate.

    I apologize - that's the British heritage in me -

    it is FUBAR, SNAFU, and basically the website is telling us all to BOHICA

    Has this been fixed? I just tried to upload an attachment. This time I did get the upload dialog and was able to select a file on my computer, but the Upload button did not upload the file.

    The long and short of it is that vBulletin (the forum software) has some... issues. Issues that the current development team isn't currently capable of fixing, and leaves it vulnerable to various exploits. We (the moderation team + admins) are considering what our options are, and will keep you informed as we can.

    If money is an issue, I would be happy to make a donation. Many boards allow donations. I've supported several.

    It's not a money issue, there's consideration of some changes to the core software. Currently some of it might well be disabled to reduce further attacks here until those changes have been made. I'm sure it will be publicly stated what we'll be doing in the near future.
