Yesterday i visited my test RC2 forum for the first time in 3-4 days because a new member registered and found  myself banned somehow. I removed the ban triggers to get back in and changed my password, but don't know what else to do.  This is the first issue of any sort I've had with SMF in years :(

Did they ban you via SMF itself? You can ask your webhost to see if they have a log of what happened the last few days. See if they breached security via the backend instead.

Feel free to report this here so it can be looked into. Any details you can provide from your webhost will be helpful. Also check your forum log files to see if anything suspicious shows up there.

Nothing in the logs. I sent a few emails to my host and they are looking into it for me.

I removed a ban trigger for my IP address, although i wish i would have backed it up to catch the ID.

I know more than likely who did this as well, because he has a thing against me.

Hi Ndien, is there something we can help you with still, or have you been able to sort this out?
