Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this message.
Here are my questions :
The Format of our Forum as just changed for unknown reasons.
First we do not see anymore the pictures but just the written links of those pictures.
Also, we see now at the upper left top "change category group" which was not there previously.
When clicking on a topic we now see "showing topic 1 of 316" individually per page, instead of seeing the sequence of topics 'showing topics 1-14 of 316".
And finaly, when people try to register, it says 'the administrator as turn off registration for this forum. Only registered member are able to log in.
How can we fixed those different problems and put back as before.
Thank you in advance
Stephane |

It sounds like the administator of the forum has turned off registration. Only they can turn it back on.
Thank you

Why does it appear? It just appears someone changed some admin options...
Is the poster an admin? Are there other admins? Were they asked if they did this? |

And who told you that one was hacked? If you ask me, a hacker would have a heck of a work to merge all topics into a single one. That specific thread was probably the result of a bad Access to SQL Server upgrade (that's my guess, at least - I have seen it happen before!).
It's advisable not to scare people unless you're really sure about what you're suggesting. |

| Well it the symptoms are similar, but in fact we don't even know if it's not the same forum, since the posters don't really describe their roles in the problematic forums. I would suggest, nevertheless, just linking to a topic that seems to address a similar issue and let the users make the judgment for themselves. |

I'm the owner and moderator of the website, but not the administrator. The latest cannot be reached at the present time, that is the reason why I'm trying to inquire if I can solve the problem and possibly put it back in good functioning order.
Thank you in advance

I'm certainly not the most knowledgeable about this stuff. I try to help when I think I can. I just need to try to be more careful.
