HELP!!! somehow I managed to strip all the prolies photos!!!

I checked photos/data/files and all the pictures are there

I also checked avatars/data/images and all the pics are there as well.

BUT for some reason they are not showing up as profile pictures.

it shows a pic of the avatar on the main page.. but when you go to the profile

there is no big profile pic of the user...

I'm pretty sure this is a mysql problem.

i've check bx_avatar_images and they are all there.

where is this elusive profile photo field that i have to update to get my profile photo boxes back on the screen

help!!! a thousand thanks if you can

can you get any information out of your logs? because this seems like a folder permissions problem, and or a cache situation. there is truly no one answer.

1. what were you doing just prior to the images vanishing?

2. did you install a mod or hack some file just prior to this occurrence?

3. what was the last administrative action you had taken (mod install, file page hack, server change)?

my system was hacked. They shut the entire thing down.

I first restored the entire htdocs files. still didn't work.

kept comming up with xml errors

so i restored the php directory and it worked.

but they must have gotten into the database somehow.

They stripped out all the profile pics (probably just a field) even though they couldn't or didn't touch the actualy pics on the website.

the avatars are there but there is no profil pictures box to go with them.. looks horrid

I think they also got the zipcodes.. at that field is completely empty now.

ack.. I hate hackers that do damage.

today i woke up at 3am only to find i could not get onto my website..

I need a firewall that bans mac addresses.
