I have done everything to try and fix the problem but it just doesnt want to work anymore. The funny thing is on my developer forum it works but on our live forum it doesn't

BTW just wondering what is the addy like for your forums

mine is just www.xxx.com/ppverify.php
while my test forum is www.xxx.com/test/ppverify.php

could it be that we cant use our root directory?

I use the forum root www.yourdomain.com/forum/ppverify.php
If paypal does not find the confirmation script or is not allowed access it will not write the member information to the database, but you will see the payment going through your paypal account since the first step in the process for members is going to your paypal account to complete the transaction.
I have had the hack running on my site for a year with only one problem which was due to my playing with the confirmation scripts to try adding subscriptions.
I know the Paypal hack works less a few functions that require fixing, and everyone has different server configurations as well as hacks. In your case it does not make any sense to me why it would work on your test server and not on your live server since they both share the same database. This can only lead me to believe that some configuration is different between the two and it could be the link to the ppverify file and how it is called in the donation settup or on the paypal site.
