Profile Page Hacked ?

There appears to have been a malevolent attack with respect to Profile pages. Page isn't displaying correctly and there appears to be a malicious message in column form over the top of it.

Encourages you to contact Tim Spalding directly and also click on a link provided (I haven't). Also has a Text Box with the following:

"Problem with the concurrent query manager in the LibraryThing Bureau of Garbage Collections. We have an entire room of trained monkeys working to solve the problem".

Can confirm, I'm seeing broken-ness on user profile pages (eg. right-hand panel MDS Spectrum graphic extending full page width, the Random Books gallery going vertically outside its bounds, etc).

>1 Bushwhacked: Don't be alarmed by the error message, that is the default message that shows up if there is a broken page or feature.

>1 Bushwhacked: More likely a bug than a hack, I expect. That's definitely a standard LT error message going back since forever.

>3 Nevov: Thanks... just thought I should report it ASAP 'cos wasn't sure what was going on.

Okay, thanks, I assume someone behind the scenes will work the problem.

This is not on all profile pages. I had viewed a few quite normally before I hit one that was a mess.

https://www.librarything.com/profile/DominiqueDavis
https://www.librarything.com/profile/Bushwhacked are a mess for me.

https://www.librarything.com/profile/lucientelford
https://www.librarything.com/profile/Nevov are not.

It looks as if it might be spreading. I'm now getting the same Text Box message when clicking on individual works.

>7 MarthaJeanne: Yes, I can see that... Nevov's was normal when I clicked on it but yours and davidgn's were not.

Hmmm. Mine looked fine earlier, but sure doesn't now.

If you're on a profile that displays correctly, within the Random Books section if you hit the 'Titles' button, then back onto 'Covers' (which refreshes the random book selection) it can make the page break.

My catalog on the "your books" page doesn't show up at all, just an error message. Same error message instead of "recently added" on the home page.

>12 Settings: My "Your books" is showing okay, but it appears based on the numbers I'm a couple of hundred works short.

I have the same problem and already e-mailed Tim about it. I think you should change the title of this bug to something like "Problem with the concurrent query manager".

Hi. Not a hack, but a bug. Looking at it.

>15 timspalding: Thanks Tim.

>14 ElBarto: Good idea.

>17 Bushwhacked: Sorry about this - we think we've fixed it now. Checked on a few of your profile pages which look normal now.

>18 ccatalfo: Looks good at my end! Thanks all!

All better now
