How to prevent hacking of my forums??

Update: I password protected the dirs, worked great! I also had my provider block the IP from the site.

Thank you, it will be done.

My basic tips:

1. First, set up password protection on the admin folder (note about the page: you can probably use the command htpasswd, instead of the full path). Or, request it be set up by your host.
2. Change your password.
3. Open admin/config.php and set it so that no users can prune the admin log.

Hello again guys.

I had a new user sign up and make a post telling me he will hack into my forums, and a few other nice comments. I got his / her ip right away and contacted the ISP. What else can I do to get him / her?

How can I check of he did / tried anything, and how can I stop any attacks??

Thanks!
