General talk / Re: Account security

« Last post by kubbie on April 30, 2024, 02:00:41 PM »

I am unable to login to alt.binz even though I can login to the forum. Keep saying I need to go to forum to login first to verify.

Update:
Disregard, I used the wrong password.

General talk / Account security

In past couple of days few accounts were hijacked by the same spam bot/person. He also tried few more accounts without success. (recent password change probably)
I would STRONGLY suggest you all change your altbinz forum password to a unique one not used anywhere else.

Due to rule nr.4, affected accounts lost their contributor status.

yup, figured as much, so long as the "work around" works all's good, thanks for the confirmation

.... now you see the reason behind my previous request to link the filter box to the global search.

EDIT:
might login later to their website and see if the same happens on internal search, i suspect not as it would have been flagged

Key thing is you didn't put SxxExx in search. I would say that something is wrong with usenet crawler search.
If you put SxxExx it returns far less results that it has in its DB. However, that is out of scope of altbinz.

ok, that kind of makes sense, so it must be a usenet-crawler thing then, here's what i'm experiencing,

First search is the full name and season/episode results (makes no difference with spaces or dots between the words)....




Second image is with removing the season/episode reference and putting them in the filter box and repressing the search button (doesn't matter if search is re-pressed prior to entering the filter details or not, it finds many more results and the filter then as you said strips away those that don't match)

As always, you see the date of the post, then you see the date of last altbinz release. If it's posted after last release date - you wait for next release.

Filter box is "local" thing. It has nothing to do with what is sent for search or what is received. It filters (prevents displaying) of existing returned search results.
