Default [RESOLVED] Hacker, I think

I've been noticing, some settings hve been changing. I havent messed with anything, like deny guests posts and replys, but for some reason , I seen a guest reply. And I thought it was a hacker, but I dont know.

I have set it back to where I put it at the beginning. I just wanted to sasy that. Its not really a question, though.

Thanks for the help, if you can,
Snowboi.

You could hardly have seen a guest reply because guest posting is disabled on all servers, so even if you allowed it it wouldn't be possible to post as a guest.

However is you think your admin account has been compromised and some one else messed with your boards settings then the best you can do is quickly change the log in details, make a new password which is strong and difficult to guess and keep it safe. (a strong password is at least 8 characters long with both small letters and capitals, numbers and also special characters like *&^%$£?! )

I'm going to make a new password..
A reply was in one of my threads on RCX, I was saying some bad things about how he didnt get to vote for the competition. If it happens again, I might reset my password, and edit all the information on that forum.

Just reset the password anyway ................. you can't lose anything by being cautious. uite the opposite.
If you lose your admin access you will not be able to get it back.
