Moderators have been "banned"

[queenie]

Peter, both sweetie and I get a message saying we are "banned" from the forum when attempting to sign in. I'm not sure if Andrea is having the same problems. Please help!

[RyanF]

Yes, I have talked with Sweetie about that! It is very wierd! I will PM Peter!

[Ritzie/Admin]

You are unbanned again!

Probably someone knows our passwords or at least of on of us. Or they hacked the forum. Leah, Deanna (Sweetie), and Andrea were all three banned by someone!

If someone knows more on this please contact me so that I can ban that person.

I will change my password anyway, just to be safe!

Thanx Peter! At least nothing too terrible happened in the last two weeks .

[sweetie]

Thanks Peter,

I suspected that it was fould play when the mod's were kicked out. I am not sure it is a password issue. I am thinking it is more a hacking issue. Have you contacted Proboards regarding this?

There are also other members who can not sign on. Cal & Doom.

[Ritzie/Admin]

Yes, I've contacted Proboards today! Still waiting for an answer!

[sweetie]

I'd be interested in what they have to say. I imagine this is going to be a shock for them. I hope they increase the security.

Reply from the proboards support board! Not from an employee or voluntair, but a senior member. They know a lot too:
"Get them to check that their browsers security Setting is set to Medium. Also, get them to click the 'Always stay logged in' button when logging in.

Just in case you have been hacked, chnage your password to both the forums and your e-mail to something very difficult to guess. Also, make sure your G-Mods do the same."

Maybe helpfull. Hacking is not uncommon as I've noticed on that board. Many more boards were hacker and/or cracked. Here some guidlines to protect ourselves: safetynet.proboards33.com/index.cgi.

Thanks for the feedback Peter. I will change my passwords.
