Topic: Wierd Signup Issue?

I'm currently running PunBB 1.2 and I've encountered a wierd security error.  What happens is peole will signup and be put as administrators.  I've talked with them all on MSN and they seem to have nothing to do with it, at least that's what I assumed.

Is this is a known issue? or maybe they're doing SQL injections?  If so I can update my PunBB to the latest version.  The only issue that I have is that a few tweaks in the system to just fix a few things.  But I'd rather redo these over having this security issue.

Re: Wierd Signup Issue?

What is your default user group in admin_groups? Try submitting that form even though it may say what e.g. "Members" is the default user group.

Re: Wierd Signup Issue?

Well no luck now!  Some idiot hacked my forum (not sure how) put it in maintence mode, deleted all the admins (along with all the post and topics we made), and left.  I've restored what I could, but I've lost hundreds of posts.
