URGENT WARNING: Critical phpBB Authentication Bypass - UPDATE TO 3.3.17 IMMEDIATELY

You need to update your board to phpBB 3.3.17 immediately. ALL versions from 3.1.0 to 3.3.16 (which covers over 10 years of phpBB releases) contain a critical vulnerability CVE-2026-48611.

Re: Update on the forum spam




Ah I just messaged the admin team and missed this. Sorry this must be really frustrating. I'm also happy to help if there's anything non-admin/mod related I can assist with. I'm in the HamsterCare Central Discord server as Nell there also which is often the easiest way to reach me.

Promoting Hamster Clubhouse on Reddit?

Hi everyone!

To those who are still active, you may have noticed that the forum hasn't been as active as it was over the past two years. It's likely a lack of members, and the hamster clubhouse is still relatively unknown. I was thinking about maybe making a post on the hamster subreddit to let ...

Update on the forum spam

Hello all!

Sorry about the recent spam posts. I've been trying to keep up with checking in so I can clear it. Last year, Kikya was lovely enough to install a system to get through, so we don't have as many bots as we did previously (that was a nightmare if you remember :shock: ). I try to do my ...

Re: Very sick hamster, please help

I'm so sorry to hear that. How is he doing?

To me, it sounds like he has wet tail. Try to keep him stress-free and minimize noise, make sure bedding in his nest area isn't damp and clean and warm. Make sure his bottom is clean and wipe it if it's dirty. I hope the little guy gets better! Please ...

Re: Any downsides of using a camera?

For example, does anyone here feel like they are compelled to skim through the footage every night? I already am a little OCD so I worry it will make it worse ...

Re: Homemade Pain Medicine?

If you are able to, moving him to a smaller cage might make him more comfortable. Or even putting his food and water closer to his sleeping area so he won't have to travel as far.
