Yes I patched for the correct version for phpnuke.

I also installed and configured NukeSentinel as well. (just finished )

The reason why I have reason to beleive it was thru the theme is because all changes to the bd were made thru the chronicals theme directory or so phpAdmin showed.

Is it actuall possible for a site to get hacked thru the theme files? I find it hard to think they can get in that way, but I'm no expert by any means!

Thanks again!
