pin Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 If anyone still has the no avatar / no pictures from the forum problem, then here is the easy fix. Check this link and follow the instructions. I know I go on, but this is as easy as saving a file and then double clicking on it, literally! To those that are worried about .bat files from strangers - simply ignore the instructions and click the link on that page instead of saving it first, and you will see its an innocent copy script. As an added bonus, simply run it again and it removes itself from your computer! I can't make it any easier than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 What happens when the site returns to normal ? Do we have to reverse anything on our PC's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 What happens when the site returns to normal ?Do we have to reverse anything on our PC's ? Edit: Clarification... This won't break anything when the site returns to normal, but if you just run the script again (or download it and run it again - I will leave it up for a while) and it removes all trace from your PC. Please feel free to paste a link to my post anywhere its needed, the more people back to normal the better! All it does is tell your computer where to find the pigeonwatch site, nothing more.

pin Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 I should have said this really, but once you apply the fix as above, you can just use the formum as normal (don't need to use the ####.co.uk links). Domain name: pigeonwatch.co.uk Name servers: No name servers listed. WHOIS lookup made at 17:09:51 23-Jul-2006 It is still broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Its possible a virus checker ate it on the way down, .bat files are used all the time by virus / malware writers. What does it do, when you double click the downloaded file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 downloaded onto me desktop when double clicked on i get asked to run or cancel run then asked to press any key to continue press a key and it disapear,s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Thats what it does, aye. Close your browser down, then go back into the forum the normal way http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk and all should be ok.. If you run the fix again it takes itself off, it says in the window if it found the fix or if its installing it, so you should be able to tell.. You would need to be administrator or a member of the admistrators group for it to work, the file it changes can't be edited by a "normal" user.
