A warning to anyone using any of the various Google Translation Plugins. They will no longer work. Google has disabled the Translation API v1 due to abuse.

It has come to our attention that a XSS (Cross Site Scripting) attack is possible within the Admin CP. The javascript is only executed when viewing the detailed pop-up of a specific failed admin log in. This issue exists in all IP.Board 3 versions. We recommend that everyone using these versions apply this simple one file patch. Simply download the zip for your IP.Board version, expand the zip on your computer and upload the file to the relevant folder on your server. The directory structure is maintained in the zip so you will have no issues finding the file. If you need assistance, please contact technical support.

IP.Board 3.1.x and Applications: End of Life Announcement So that we can focus all of our development, support, and service efforts on the newest version 3.3, we are announcing the end of support (sometimes called end of life or EOL) for the following IPS software versions (and earlier versions): IP.Board 3.1.x IP.Blog 2.2.x IP.Gallery 3.2.x IP.Downloads 2.2.x IP.Content 2.0.x IP.Chat 1.1.x IP.Nexus 1.1.x Technical support, installations, and services will end for these products on August 1, 2012. On that date all technical or service requests will be advised to simply upgrade to the most recent versions of the products. We will not force upgrades but will also not be able to diagnose issues or answer questions relating to the older software. Also, on that date, IPS will no longer address any new issues or bugs reported in the older software versions. You are of course free to continue using these older versions if you wish but IPS will no longer provide assistance after the EOL date. Security Updates In the event an issue is discovered impacting the security of these older versions of the software, IPS will provide a patch posted in our announcements forum. We will continue to provide security updates for several months after the EOL date based on severity of the issue. Internet Explorer 7 Support We announced our plans to start phasing out support for Internet Explorer 7 in December 2010 and have been slowly doing so. As of this date, IPS will no longer support Internet Explorer 7. This includes compatibility modes in newer browsers. View the full article

MyBB Merge System 1.6.3 is http://www.mybb.com/downloads/merge-system]now available on the MyBB website and is a maintenance update to the MyBB Merge 1.6 series. This release is to ensure that all users of MyBB Merge 1.6 have the latest fixes. This release fixes several reported issues since the release of 1.6.2, which caused some incorrect functionality of the Merge System. These bugs have been fixed to provide a more stable version of the Merge System for public use. What’s fixed in this version? 7 bug fixes (http://dev.mybb.com/projects/mybb-import/versions/40]view all) This includes some critical fixes for things that will cause the system to catastrophically fail. NOTE: After this release the merge system will jump to match MyBB’s version. So when MyBB 1.6.7 is released, MyBB Merge System 1.6.7 will be released with it. We’re going to try very hard to use that scheme from now on.
