Chatbox updates (themes!) and the recent virus scare.

Post by Fusion »

Greetings.

2010-08-19:
I have recently been given access to the files of both the forum and the main website. I have therefore gone ahead and made a few updates today, particularly to the chatbox.
These updates can be found in this thread.

Virus scare:
As mentioned in this thread, some malicious code has recently been discovered in the HTML source of Chao Island's pages. We have investigated this and identified an exploit which allowed this code to be placed there. It has since been cleaned up and you will no longer see it in the page source. It should be stated that this exploit was merely an advertising thing, and did not download any viruses to your computers. If you know HTML, that should be obvious.

Expect more updates soon.

2010-08-20:
Chatbox messages directed at you ("@ Your-Username" or whispers to you) are now highlighted in a light pink. Chatbox messages that you post are now coloured a light purple.

2010-08-21:
Themes have been added to the chatbox! You may now choose from the default "Chao" theme, or the new "Hero" and "Dark" themes. Feel free to give feedback about the new themes.

Mooncow Edit - Information moved to this thread.

Nice! Thank you for the Chatbox updates, Fusion! :herosway:

What will be coming next? Forum updates? Because it would seem that the main website would take more time to update, since it's been so long since it was last updated with new and valid information.

*Phew* Thank goodness there isn't an actual virus on CI. Advertising exploits are EVIL! Anyway, it's nice to see some of this stuff updated. Some of it was probably LONG overdue.

    The themes look pretty awesome. :D

    And also, highlighting posts with your name in it is pretty nifty. :p

    Yay, chatbox themes. :D
    I have been hoping for something like this for a long, long time.X3
    Although, I'm not quite used to it yet it's a lot better then seeing nothing but blue every time you log in. :)
    Thank you for updating. :3

    Nice! Thank you, Fusion! Now my Chatbox matches with my Chao Island theme, which is Dark. X3

    I wonder if we'll get any other themes. Ones with a background (Fly, Run, Power, Swim, Sonic) would also be nice. :o
