We are set up so that only Admins or Moderators can access our Volunteer's Lounge forum. Today while watchin Who's Online I noticed a "Guest' who was viewing "Private Topic" in our Volunteer's Lounge. How is this possible? How do I stop it? Thanks!

They're not actually viewing the topic. If they click on the forum, WOL shows them as being in the forum. I think that this was fixed in a later WOL version. Not sure on that one, though...

Actually,
If you're using Who's Online 4.1 or higher on UBB 6.1+, that IS a security breach (the problem was fixed in WOL 4.1 Matt). You'll defintely need to see if you have hacked WOL correclty if this is the case.

I'm using 4.0.0 on UBB 6.05 - does this mean that I could have this problem?

Yikes! Are there only specific files that I would need to upload to alleviate this problem? - to upgrade? If there's an easy way to upgrade, please let me know!
Thank you...
Sal

Also. How far do they get? Just the one message they click on or access to the whole forum?

They don't actually get in... their cookie gets a hit when they click on the link and WOL shows them as "in", they aren't actually able to read anything. Qasic fixed this in more recent versions.

Thanks. I feel much better knowing people aren't reading things in that forum.
