Default Post Count Crack
I've been thinking about purchasing vbulletin. However, I am worried about one thing. I recall a vbulletin powered forum I was visiting a few months ago where someone had upped their post count into the millions (they had only been registered for a few days), but there was no extra posts by them. Literally their post count went up overnight. Has this bug been fixed? How was that exploited? I am positive that this person wasn't a mod or anything (they were later banned) so how were they able to do this? Any links to information or help are greatly appreciated!

Without admin or database access I would say that's impossible - I cannot see how such a thing could have been done (via a vbulletin exploit) - and indeed - if such an exploit really existed I'm quite sure we would have heard of it by now.

I am a mod on a board running 3.5.4

A user keeps registering, and somehow ups his post count into the millions. 1MM+ once, last time 4MM.

He is then banned.

He comes back periodically with another IP, gets and account...then starts posting.

I can have my admin check in here, or make an official contact. We are pretty surprised there isn't much mention of this...

Weird…So this is only happening to two installations?

I can’t find any mention in other searches I've done, and no replies to our various enquiries.

Just one of those things I guess!

Not true.

There's lots of them but most of them get fixed rather quickly and are placed into a released version.

The post count rollover for banned users is a known bug now:
