Post subject:  System recovery
The forum was hacked two times. All files were deleted by the hacker. It was most unfortunate I wasn't in town during the periods of these two mishaps.

The latest backup I have is 23 June 2006. Sorry, all messages left in whole month of July are gone! :cry:

Hacker may attack again thru the system loop hole. In order to stop this, the registration will be authorised by the system administrator instead of the user himself and no avatar image upload is allowed.

I will try to update the lastest version of the forum software but it all depends on the web hosting company.

Cheers

Syanley,
I think you need to check the memberlist records. Usually the members do not have WWW site records showed. But starting from page 13 of the memberlist, you can see that there are a lot of members showing their WWW address and it can be seen from their names that their name is a random names. May be this is how the hacker access your site.
Can they sent rubbish mail to us via the registered PM or e-mail records. If so, I think you need to delete these member records.
