someone is hacking throught submissions

[jayg]

I heard there was a fix for v2.0 to stop this, I keep getting someone submitting code of some sort that breaks my approve links option in the admin panel and it forces their link to show at the most recent on my home page of submit4backlinks.com, can someone direct me to the thread please?

Don't know about the thread, but the BEST and most SECURE way to protect your phpLD Admin is to pasword protect using Basic (.htaccess-based) Authentication. An example can be seen here:

You need two(2) files:

1. .htaccess file, which you upload to admin/ directory.
2. Password file (e.g., htpasswd) you can upload anywhere. Best to located outside public HTML root so not web-accessible. Otherwise, locate in the password protected directory (i.e., admin/ directory).

Here is a generator that will create both files:
