My Privates Are Exposed!

[DarkReaper]

I just realized that all the private forums on my message board are open to anyone, even guests. I'm not sure how this happened and it's been so long since I last hacked my boards that I have no idea what to do. There's way too many hacks to re-do them all, so I really need your help. Anyone out there who would please help me find the problem?!

well maybe firstly tell us, or take screenshots of the settings for that forum in the admin cp.

It's set with permissions for registered and guest members as "NO" for everything. Strange thing is, I have some forums that are private(and are supposed to be) and others that aren't private but are supposed to be...

Odd..I just checked and although the permissions are set correctly, the "Private Forum" yes/no box on the forum edit screen is set to No...??

if you changed it to yes again, are they still exposed?

DarkReaper, you run v221. there have been several security issues fixed since then. i strongly recommned you to get araxis merge (http://www.araxis.com) and update asap your board to v225.

good luck.
