Hi.
There seems to be a bit of a security issue.
On my forum, I set up an area that was hidden from members and guests and only viewable by the forums moderators and Admin.
My forum was originally on phpbb2 and then I updated it to phpbb3.
However a post was made by a normal member stating that he had written some code that could view the titles of the hidden topics of our hidden area.
And had posted a screen dump.
Naturally one of the moderators of my forum acted and removed the post and I was alerted and had to immediately delete the hidden area.
It seems that it is possible to modify a TOPICS ANYWHERE hack and insert the main index of the forum name and it will list all the topics including the hidden topics.
Therefore I have had change over to one of the other forum software and setup new skins.
