Seperate PP from vB

[Merjawy]

Hello,.....

I have been using PP with vB using same user base etc. and my forum got hacked through PP so what I did is shut down my PP for now till I upgrade to 6.11 .

my question is.. can I totaly seperate the two at this stage? if so how.. the site hast a good size gallery and foum of 10,000 + users

I think its best for me to have each scrips on its own if one gets attacked, only that scrip would be effected instead of the total site

PS. I am using seperate databases but using same user base


Thanks

Your forum got hacked through Photopost that does not sound right there. The number one issue with vb getting hacked is through using vb hacks or mods.

You can not separate the two without you writing some special script to import users into Photopost and then reinstalling Photopost as a standalone.
