I am fairly new to both ubb and hacking so I figured I would come to people that know!

I have ubb6.04e and installed who's online hack! Everything seems to work great!

I noticed a new member browsing in the Admin & Mods forum...which is private. I checked all the settings and no one except Admin and mods have access rights.

Question: Could this be a security problem with ubb, or with Who's Online hack?
Is it possible that a member could click on the forum and be refused entry, but Who's Online report the click as someone browsing the forum?

Thanks for any help!

yes; anyone who tries to access the private forum via the main page or a link in the who's online page will show up as being in that forum even though they aren't. there's nothing to worry about, it's just a small, non-threatening glitch.

In other words, that's the designed behaviour. Don't worry, Who's Online hack doesn't prevent the UBB from stopping it smile It may be possible to stop this errorenous glitch. I'll look into it.

This is a great hack....I hope they get that little glitch fixed, but even if they don't, I can live with it now! laugh
