Thanks for the offer Matt, is fixed now

The Turkish "person" had used a script to overwrite the forum, and put messages to Allah on there, deleted all the posts that existed on the forum, signed 30 odd new users up etc, apparently its someone the FBI wants, and has been doing it regularly to different sites. My friend (its a she by the way) knows jack about stuff like this, someone else set it all up and failed to mention updating the bb software etc, so thankfuly thats all done as well now, and the security hole has been filled ! LOL Unfortunately its a manual backup of the DB on the site, and as the person that set the site up never told her about that, she has lost all the posts on her forum !

Shes ok with that, and will start again ! just disappointing that someone set it up and knowing she isnt techy didnt inform her of the control panel for the site etc ! oh JOY ! lol

All sorted and working now !

As to the turkish "person"
