Yes, we think they did! I notified the server folks and they took this quite seriously; thank goodness, but no other sites but mine was effected. I don't have a site that's terribly intriguing, just a bunch of animal, speedbike racing and so many other forums that are just fun. Nothing remarkable about it LOL. That's why I'm so shocked we were targeted.

Anyway, my admin took the old forum and put it in a new folder called "OLD SITE" ~ he even took my subdomains down and everything. Like I said, I'm so unfamiliar with this anymore. Basically, my time's very limited as well.

If you have a backup of your database, then you can always restore your posts etc..

He said I couldn't do that. I don't understand. Could you please elaborate? He stated that they put in script within the Board in many places. I suppose if he had different backups of it prior and dated them, then yes, probably could restore it right? I kinda doubt it though.

Thanks for the reply.
