Hello all,

I am using 7.01 of Web Wiz Forums. I have been using it for quite some time with no big problems. However, I have noticed on two occasions now that a forum that was password protected has suddenly "lost" its protection. It would no longer be password protected. Does anyone have an explaination as to why this might have happened and how I can avoid it in the future???

Thanks,

Justin

firstly upgrade your version to V7.9
this may help prevent this happening (this is probbs a security hole).

as there has been a few holes, to me it sounds like someone has accessed the data in the database,

what version are you using, if access make sure you have done all you can to secure it.
