That sounds like exactly what happened. I didn't think to check the attachment manager.

I'll check my other forums and see if I have one that's exhibiting the problem. I was sick of all the spammers signing up for that particular forum and since I didn't get any further replies to my question over at VB.com I decided to solve both problems at once and converted it over to Xenforo. And, well, I hate to say it, but it has far surpassed my expectations.
