I had to laugh when i got a call from the FBI. my website www.HomerAK.net was hacked into by an al-Qaeda related group and used to post an anti-usa website. I got 1000 hits in less than 24 hours, and had reports from all over north america calling my house wanting to talk to me about it.. wow it;s been an exciting week...

wow, hes for real...even a newspaper from toronto was posting articles about it. thats freaky dude..

Well i was a bit wierd because i didn't know they did it until i got a message from the National Post wanting to talk to me. Then the FBI called my house. LoL i am only 17 so y mom was wondering what i was up to online when a guy from the FBI left a message on the answering machine saying he needed to talk to me asap. Well, i got my 15 minutes of fame in my small town from it. Actually they said it was because the software i used to build my site was out dated.. lol Maybe i should switch to 6.5?

Thank you for the info. And the news has been rewritten

To aaronland: is this fix a new one that needs to be updated by everyone in the community? I'm assuming it is for php-nuke 6.0. What about 6.5x?
Also some people use modded news modules, what would happen if someone with one of these needs the fix? Can you post the code that would need to be added to any news module without replacing the whole thing?

For all versions from 5.5 to 6.5 simply replace the rate_article function with the one included in what was posted by aaronland, it should not have any adverse effects on any version, like i mentioned at nukecops, a project to organize fixes in one place is in the works, i will post more info as soon as more details are available.
