The passwords are encrypted so they should be safe.

What type of hack was it btw?

[borbole]

How were you hacked? When you say the backup files were infected did you mean forum files or the db backup?

[borbole]

There are several guides of to recovery from a hack floating around. Have a look at them and try the suggestions mentioned there.

[borbole]

How were you hacked? Can you post the link to your forum?

[borbole]

Can you post the link to the infected forum?

[borbole]

It looks like your db was not restored properly. From the error message that you posted the user table is missing. You can try to restore the backup once again....

[borbole]

Actually there are a couple of ways to downgrade. The easiest would be if you took a backup of your db before the upgrade? If you did, simply roll back to it and replace your forum files too with those...

[borbole]

Have a look at this post here about that:

How large is your forum? The best way to upgrade a large forum would be to do it through ssh imho.

P.s. Personally I would strongly advice you to not upgrade to vb 5 yet. Take a moment first...

[borbole]

What is the exact db error/s that you are getting?...

[borbole]

Imho the OP seems to be either a fake/alias or does not have a clue at all. I highly doubt that this is a genuine review.

[borbole]

What version do you have? There are also a few articles floating around on how to clean up a forum hacked by this type of hack. A little search should find them.

[borbole]

Personally I think it would be better to fix the bug rather than threatening customers with banning for something that it is not their fault.

[borbole]

It was in a closed topic as per the topic title and not in a solved one. I simply made a mistake in the post, instead of closed I posted solved.

Anyway, the thing is that I could post in...

[borbole]

I noticed that although a topic was marked as closed yet I was able to reply. This keeps getting better and better lol

I know Wayne. That is why I said in my post (I do not mean you personally btw).

[borbole]

With all due respect Wayne, how do you call the release of the "gold" or out of beta version or whatever you want to call it? Wasn''t it a rush release would you say? In that case, my question...

[borbole]

Are you on a shared hosting plan or do you have your own vps/dedicated box?

[borbole]

Post the rest of the error. Especially that part that mentioned the error message. That should give us a clue as to what is causing it....

[borbole]

Completely agree with this. Post commenting is very useless imho....
