 * I’m experiencing similar. No ads, but my comments are not showing in IE and Chrome.
   I thought it might be theme related and posted in the theme section of the boards
   but to no avail so far. In Firefox it works perfectly with IE/Chrome it actually
   generates a page not found error – and in fact the full extent of is it’s not
   that it doesn’t show the comments, it actually doesn’t open the individual post.
   the post stays on the main page visible. But if you go to the post page it comes
   up as an error. I’ve got 2.9.1 now still same problem. Any thots would be welcome.

 * Back again with another curious discovery. I’m not sure how, but all the active
   plugins were deactivated. Would putting Kubrick up there and changing the index
   have caused this? [I wouldn’t think so]
    It explains why spam was getting through.
   Is it possible someone could access and toggle my plugs from outside? After reactiving
   the emoticon plugin, I can now post, so problem #1 is no longer a problem. I’m
   just concerned about how it was changed. Also, after putting up one post, the
   category error is gone. I’m guessing that having no entries caused this error.
   Is that normal. I’d expect the code to allow for zero entries. Still exploring
   to see if any other changes after attack. ~Jeff

 * Okay,
    My webhost made the change and it worked perfectly. Best I can tell he
   made no changes to .htaccess. It appears the same as it did before. From what
   he said, he made changes on the server end directing requests for that address
   to that specific file, as he needs to do it with another PHP program recently
   installed. Perhaps on some hosts changing the .htaccess file does direct the 
   change. But with my setup it appears it is host controlled only. In this case,
   the host is superlative and it is not a problem, although I’d generally prefer
   the control. Understood on the file protections. Thanks for that. And thanks 
   to all for the help. I’m in business I suppose. ~Jeff

 * Okay,
    I’ve got them on that. I know where my .htaccess file is and I’ve been
   tempted to tamper with it before. But I’ve not for fear of messing up the front
   end of my site (the blog will be a subdomain). I’m also used to seeing code clean
   and my .htaccess is just a big jumble. When it’s clean I can see the logic in
   it and easily adapt and adjust accordingly. The host has been changing it for
   me (adding things to allow .rm and .wmv, etc) and they seem to be quite messy
   about it. So I’m going to wait and see how that turns out after my request. On
   another front, I was wondering if any of the files in that main directory need
   to be removed or could be removed. Coppermine (the photo album) comes to mind.
   I just wondered if files in this main page that are open to the world and reveal
   mySQL information might best be moved or some such. Thanks for the feedback! 
   ~Jeff
