Thanks Borg, I didn't know about css but I guessed he wasn't in the database as I still had admin control and he was doing it using the post reply box each time by rejoining.
 
Now have 7.91 installed, many thanks guys Big smile

It's not really a hack and he is not getting into your database.

The problem is that the person is using CSS to change the background image of the page by posting some CSS in their post.

Just delete the post and install version 7.91 to prevent the person from posting a simular post.

Version 7.91 has a new fileter to remove this type of CSS from posts and prevent it from running.

are you using V7.01 if so thats the problem, there was a hack done on V7.9, and then v7.91 came out that repaired the hole.

you best bet is to upgrade to V7.91

Hi dj air,
 
I deleted the original posting and it he rejoined and did the same thing, all I have is the following cut a paste of the posting. I can't see how they could have got to the database it appears to be a defacement of the post. What you see on screen is their gif image, but a copy and paste reveals this:

Hi there,
 
We had a post on our forum this morning from 'Tithackers'
 
The notification emails went out with a 'Tithackers' background Gif image and clicking on the posting again revealed the image not the usual forum layout.
 
What the hell is going on? Our access database is stored outside our root directory.
 
It appears that the culprit joined the forum and simply made a post, how do I protect against this happening again??
