Hi,
When I visit my forum earlear today I found a "guest" in my Admin options.
He's/she's IP is 66.77.73.140
I have version 3.4.03.
Is there anything I could do to block him/her out from further visits?

Tomasalbro,
You was not hacked. The IP address belongs to Fast Search, Inc, a search engine robot going through your site.

If you create a file called robot.txt or robots.txt and add the following it will stop them going through you forum directory:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /forum/ That should stop search engines coming into your forum. I know I get it all the time and it used to freak me out, but that is all it is.
Check out the IP address at Geek Tools.

Cheers,

| I guess you found out about the "hacker" using active users, right? If that was the case, it's just a problem with active users, which sometimes shows wrong info about the users whereabouts. |
