So now some asshole spammer has used some Nucleus exploit or other to embed a buncha (hidden) links to more sites of ill repute to one of the template variables that shows on the mainpage—stupid search engine trick, mean to improve page scores. I’ve diked said garbage outta the database and upgraded the software, since the consensus among the Nucleus cognoscenti is it’s probably an exploit somewhere in older installs’ core libraries—it only seems to show up in sites running those…

Upshot is: comment preview is briefly missing following said upgrade, since it was a patch I did on the previous install. I expect I’ll restore it sometime this weekend, when I’ve a bit more time to think about it.

Spammers. As previously implied: they’re assholes. But hey, I guess I was overdue for an upgrade, anyway.
