OSO will not fix the Photo Section,Help Please
 

I have contacted OSO tech and Internet Brands before about the photo section not working and havent recived any response. I have also emailed Robert Brisco about the prob with Internetbrands no responce also.

The photo section is powered by http://www.photopost.com/ .I contacted there tech dept there and they said the imagemagick on the server is broke or the data directory at every level is not 777 permissions as error code 1 is permissions. You need to set permissions on the data directory to 777 every folder beneath it and you can try uploading with your processor set to GD2.

Please tell me who I need to contact/prod to resolve this problem.

Thanks

I haven't been to that for years. Looks like spammers trashed it!

If it is a permission thing that can be fixed in seconds, a chmod (permission change) only takes seconds, any half way competent server administrator should have no problem setting permissions.

Since GD or ImageMagick can be used it is a simple matter of them selecting which graphics engine to use. At worst a re-install of gd or imagemagick, once again something that takes less than a minute to do.

They should have no problem resolving the issue.

Yea Ive been trying to get them to do something, the spamers been in there selling shoes,I got on internetbands web site and looked at some of their other forums and there not having any problems with the photo sections,Im sure they have a diff host https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/content.php?

Since the forum is vbulletin, it can run zzblock. I just tested the offshoreonly forum and zzblock is not running. zzblock blocks known malicious bots that post data and or look for vulnerabilities and blocks known malicious ip's. By blocking the malicious activity, it decreases bandwidth use and server resources, which lowers costs of running the forum and improves accessibility and speed for the allowed users.

Malicious posters can be blocked by ip or range of ip, if vbulletin (not familiar with vbulletin) has that capability within the admin section, that is easily done by adding the malicious ip's to the block list.

If vbulletin does not have blocking capability, ip's can be blocked via httpd.conf (apache) file or .htaccess file.

Either way, malicious unwanted posting can be stopped. Since zbblock is not being used, and this problem continues to persist. Perhaps some consultation is in order to implement additional security features with your existing server administrator, or move to a different service provider that knows what they are doing.

My personal experience with visiting offhshoreonly has not been the greatest. It was a lot slower in the past, better speed wise now, but there is still room for improvement.

Considering that zbblock is not being used and malicious posting persists, the server administrator is the first place to go, as that is were the real problem lies.
