Got A Problem, Need Some Advice
 

I have a strange issue going on with my VB3 forums. I installed that website/guestbook hack that appears on your users profiles and I'm having a strange issue. All of my users including me, get emails saying we have new guestbook entries from other users on my site and when we click teh link to read out guestbook entry from the user who sent it, we are redirected to some vb3 based website "deleted by webmaster's request".

I cannot find anything as of yet that has that coding in it from that hack. I have contacted the hack creator and the owner of that site, neither one will get back to me. Since I work for a very large lawfirm, I had one of the guys here shoot a letter over on firm letterhead and neither guy will respond.

Unsure of what to do? If some code is stuck in one my files or what exactly is going on. Even checked my SQL data and saw nothing with that site's url.

First of all i would suggest that you post your question in the support thread of that hack.

Did you use the original download of this hack from this site? Any other hacks in place?

Maybe some screenprints and a copy of that mail could also help.

I contacted the guy directly, he hasnt really answered anyone in quite some time in the hacks thread. The emails look like normal emails one would receive from that hack.

Example:

You have a new Guestbook entry from big_pappy! Click here to view Guestbook

All of my users get these and it is using the names of other users on my site so they click to view and go to that other site. It seems to be matching up the numbers of the other site and mine. For example, when I get them I click the view and get sent to the guestbook of the admin on their site.

Still posting in the support thread would help you, because:
1) We would know for sure about which hack you are talking, sometimes there are similar hacks.
2) Other users who have this hack installed will more likely keep an eye on that thread. Since they are somehow experienced in that hack, they should be able to help you faster.

My other questions you still haven't answered. I am mostly interested in the link that is behind the 'Click here to view Guestbook' link. If you don't want to post that in public, you can also PM me that.

I just looked at the code for the hack in question, and the email link code seems fine.

Check your settings of your forum and make sure your url didn't get changed somehow.

Looked, settings are fine. Emails are coming from my server. Where does that piece of code go in? Maybe it was changed in the actual document.

found the problem and corrected. The guy who wrote the script has the redirect in one of the codes you have to add in the member.php file which causes the issue I listed. I re-read his instructions and at no point does he talk about it, all he says is to cut and paste that code into your file. It's a decent sized piece of code, about a page long so easy to over look when installing this, which is a manuel procedure.
