    awesome! I'll have a look when I get home, probably a bug/exploit in the vbulletin code

    Can't log in on my Macbook

    Seems Facebook updated their API which is causing some issues with our version of vbulletin. I've disabled facebook integration temporarily while I upgrade the forum software to the latest release.

    possible attempted hack?

    vBulletin used to be the dogs bollocks of forum software, sadly it's not so good these days. They were bought over a few years back and they seem more interested in building the vBulletin suite rather than the forum side of things.

    It's didn't sign up for this

    It's a lot of effort for me to sit down and work out how much the hosting is costing as I run TRO of 1 of the servers I have with various other projects running on that I pay a set fee for (its heavily discounted as it my employers network and being the network manager has its advantages).

    You know it doesn't, I'm not forcing or begging anyone to allow the ad's, just asking nicely. If 1 small retargeting banner advert on the entire page is more than you can bear by all means block it.
