Huh, you are very quick to determine that this is not a security concern for your software, by providing one possible explanation. :) I was hoping for a more caring attitude for your customer from 2010. and at least some questions/hints on what should we investigate, which would help in the end to explain what actually happened. By looking at the IP addresses used in that account its obvious that when a person was using the account, his IP addresses are geolocated in Serbia, Europe (as my forum community is mostly located in ex-Yugoslavia region) and only when a spammer used his account, IP address location is in USA. That kind of proves that a spammer was using this account and not the person who regularly uses that account. It is possible that this persons password is leaked somewhere else and used, but is rather unlikely since this problem I am facing is happening on several legit accounts. I will look into this issue with my sys admin, since it seems that I won't get any help from you guys.

I understand what you are saying, but this is not the case here. Those accounts are legit, they have posted normal messages over years until a couple of days ago when they were abused. One account used is registered in 2014. by a person known in my community.

Here's some more information. The IP used for logging into an existing member account has been used to register an spam account which wasn't automatically recognized as spam (editors flagged him afterwards because it posted spam).

Hi guys, I run a self-hosted instance at https://forum.bjbikers.com. For a couple of days now we are seeing that bots are able to log in as existing forum members and then post their spam as new topics. My forum was on the previous v4.7.14, but today I've upgraded it to the latest v4.7.15. This has happened 4-5 times with different accounts. Here's the activity log for such an account: Does this happen to anyone else? Do you have any advices on what should I do to prevent this from happening in the future? Thanks!

Thanks, Marc. I will try to reprocess existing images by using information in the core_attachments table to find and resize large images and then update the new filesize back in the same table.

Hmm yes, that seems to be the culprit. I had the unlimited option checked for the maximum allowed dimensions, while I had a 1000x750 dimension for the display image. I've changed the maximum dimensions and now original is not saved. Also the filesize of the resized image is calculated in the user storage quota. Thanks, guys! BTW, is there an option to reprocess existing images?

Hi Marc, I'm referring to attachments in posts.

Hello, I'm running a self hosted community for a while now (https://forum.bjbikers.com/) and I am looking into how forum is handling image uploads, since my forum members are running out of storage quota. My forum instance is using ImageMagick for compressing uploaded images and it is working just fine, meaning that compressed images (.thumb. files) are much smaller in filesize and the forum is using those ones instead of the original files inside posts and topics. However, what I am seeing is that even though the forum is using the compressed image, original is still kept and also the filesize of the original image is counted against the user quota. Why is that? Is there a way to configure the forum so that after it creates a compressed version of the uploaded image, it: 1) removes the original file, 2) uses the filesize of the compressed image against the user quota? Thanks!

@Fosters can you help me with this? Thanks!

Hello, Thank you for this plugin, I am about to set it up in my community. However, I do not see how to define the sidebar of the forum index page. I can't do it manually by dragging and dropping blocks, as they would stay visible in per-forum sidebars which I want to configure specifically per forum. How can I set up blocks in the forum index sidebar, without affecting the per-forum sidebar configuration? Thanks!

Hi, Is there an option to force which currency is being displayed by default, in a multi-currency setup? I have a system with two currencies, the first one is a local currency (RSD) for items I am selling (forum merch etc.), but the second one is for community members and their adverts (EUR). However, the first currency is being shown by default in the Classifieds homepage. Ideally, I would like to specify which currency should be used for adverts and only that currency would show up to my members as a price (to specify a price and view a price as part of an advert). Or, in case of a multi-currency advert, if a person specifies just one price and leaves 0 for the second currency, then for that advert the specified price would always be shown. Thanks, Ivan

Hello, Is it possible to display adverts on the forum homepage somehow? It would be great to have the ability to integrate ads section into forum sections at the top or bottom. Thanks!

@Martin A. I've updated it, now lets wait and see. Thank you!
