If it was restored to an earlier date, it might have been that you are logged in the same date that you restored it.Fender wrote:I was able to log in again without a problem. Last backup was performed yesterday.
As far as I know, they are the same:Fender wrote:Jophy, a backup & restore are different things. So the answer is no, I have not restored the forum recently. Some, someone was logged into my forum as Admin.
I understand ... I'm simply asking if it's possible that someone from FM could have possibly accessed the forum with my Admin account.SLGray wrote:Forumotion does not need an account to access your forum. They have access to the database.

That's happened to me twice now and when I looked in the Admin panel the person is logged on from France (I'm in the UK). Forumotion did admit that they'd accessed my forum using my Admin account to delete a post.Fender wrote:I've noticed a few times that the "Admin" account will be logged into our forum, while it's not me that logged into the Admin account.  I'm the only person with the Admin password and there's no way in Gehenna that someone will have guessed my password.  So, I'm assuming & hoping that it's someone from FM doing something in there.
Any thoughts? Â Reassurance?

I understand that you have to go into the forums ... just wanted a little peace of mind that it was your staff & not someone hacking into the Admin account. Thank you for the explanation! This can be closed. Thanks again.Buttercup wrote:Hello,
As all web hosting, our technicians have to enter our databases and servers for maintenances, updates, and technical issues. Forums interpret those handlings as admin connection. As we are located in France it is absolutly normal you see France IP.
That doesn't mean we are looking at your forum content!!! But as all internet companies we have to improve daily our services (as Facebook, Google, and all other companies do..!!!)
So, do not worry about it. If you didn't give your password and foundation email to another personn, the connection you see simply comes from technicial updates or maintenances.
Thanks for your understanding.
