WHY are we getting this flag on our forum without our permission

Maybe from one of your application or plugin. I am sure IPS is not doing those things. Or you got hacked?

I would need more information on what you are seeing there. I do however need to make it very clear, this is not something that has been done by IPS or by your invision product. 

Just to let you know, I have taken a look on your site, and Im not actually seeing where it is you see this added either

This randomly appears beneath member posts like a message, replacing member signature.....

Some sort of advertising ? App or something ? 

 

Does it go under all members or just one? If just one (or few), the user likely added it to their signature.

Random , could be a dozen a day or none AND NO, NO MEMBERS would "likely" add it to their signature, why would they? It looks more like an issue from Invision

Where would it come from though? Our forum / site is supposed to be secure.......any ideas would be helpful. Unfortunately the Invision support is not too hot.

I’m sorry you’re having an issue but this is not something we added to our software or impose on our clients. We would not do anything like that.

 

Where would it come from though? 

I would suggest disabling/removing all customizations (themes, applications, plugins, advertisements, any custom JavaScript, etc…) to rule out them out.

If it still remains, please supply us a URL to where you are currently seeing this.

It looks like that is the signature of the user “digsey”.  It does look like that’s from the software but instead posted by your user.

That user has an image in their signature which is coming from a third party image hosting service. Either the image itself is what you're seeing there or the third party image hosting service is imposing this. Either way, I'm afraid, this is not coming from the software and something caused by the user having this as their signature.

At the time of looking at this the image was dead so I cannot confirm. You would need to either remove this from their signature in the ACP or ask the user to do so if it is against the terms of your community. Overall, this is a moderation issue rather than a security issue or bug in the software itself.

@John McKee, take a look if you want to have a bit more control over user signatures:

User sigs for links and anything else are a royal PITA with IPS - so use a plugin like this as in the vanilla software everything goes and you cannot moderate it as such

NOT POSTED BY THE USER

 

NOT POSTED BY THE USER

As Jim noted above...  it's in the user's signature.  Either the remote image hosting service the user used is serving that image or something else.  It's not the IPB software.  So unfortunately there is not much that can be done from the software perspective.  I would suggest editing the signature and removing the remotely called image.  

Good luck!

 

NOT POSTED BY THE USER

If posted or not posted by your user, this image is definitely in his signature as you can see in the image posted by Jim above. He has taken this screenshot from the signature of your user on your site. So just remove it by your self in the acp or ask the user to remove it. Problem solved.

If you still don't believe it just add the image URL into the editor here and you get this:

NOT POSTED BY THE USER

That is an image in the user signature and very much added by the user. You can disable signatures via the ACP.

Nothing to do with Invision.

 

NOT POSTED BY THE USER

This is incorrect. The link itself was posted by the user. What has not happened is that the user has likely not intentionally posted a ukraine image. It is a link to an image on an external site, which means that external site has control over what image it is.

 

everything goes and you cannot moderate it as such

There are per-group settings available which alleviate some of that 'everything goes'
