IPB decline to upgrade damaged site

[Powerboat]

Hi, I run a boating forum in my spare time and have been using IPB software for the last 10 to 15 years.

I was recently away on active military service (my real job) and unfortunately, while I was away and obviously "otherwise engaged, my site was hacked and crashed.

I'm not very technical (web dev wise) - most of my experience in this area is with WP. However I did try re uploading the core IPB files via FTP but to no avail. My hosting company assure me that the data base is fine and suggested that a full IPB upgrade by IPB should see things right again. All my licences are current / active. Are there any freelancers here who would take a look for me? Delighted to pay for your time.

 

Kind regards,

 

Stuart

Sorry to hear your having a bad run with support, they have been very unhelpful and frankly rude as of late, if you still need some help i can have a look for you, ive had pretty much every type of problem in the years of using IPB so know how to fix most simple stuff.

Thanks very much Guys! I'm delighted to pay someone in return for their time and effort.

 

Kind regards,

I am more than happy to help out as well.  I own a cute little powerboat, so it is of interest to me anyway, but more so, I am more than happy to help out any military member who is helping keep us safe!

Just a short note to thank Madman, Nylon and The.Reaper for their very kind offers of support. Madman was first in and seems to have sorted it for me.

What a great friendly network!

Thanks again so much guys!

Kind regards,

Stuart
