The Legacy of War Forums were Semi Hacked by a Hack Bot and it uploaded a virus of Sorts.

It was sorted out last night but when I logged in this morning I have found that I no longer have access to the Legacy of War Forum's Admin Panel.

PM Banshee, he was the one who added a security mod to your forums.

The admin cp from your forum is vulnerable to bots that can use Revora server to mass mail (with spam, of course) your users, causing a major lag in the server... or to place trojans on your users by editing the skin of your forum.

You have to understand that, we are responsible for a server that host over 100 sites and communities and that this lag was affecting the whole server.

I've PMed Juggernaught with the details about the admin cp. The mod was suposed to place a correct link for it in the top, however the link disappeared, as far as he reported and... you too. I'll take a look at it again later.

Banshee,

I believe if you had to change the skins for the link, you have to refresh the skin cache.
