Re: Login on problems... - 19 years ago

Hi Maurice, Yes I tried that before and just did again and it still does not recognise me either. As I wrote before, it did happen to some other users as well. Some got very paranoid and though we kick them out. In most case, it came back after some time. In other, we did delete there user name and ask the user to re-create them. Any other suggestions to solve this problem? Did it ever happ

Login on problems... - 19 years ago

Hello Brian, I use : version 5.1.16a and got a strange bug last week. I was traveling in the states and was surfing the net with various wi-fi service in hotel rooms using my Lap Top. I was accessing my forum without any problem until a few days ago. No matter how much I tried to log in or get my pass word reset, I was not recognise at all as a user but I was able to log in as an admin in the

Fortunatly it does not happen too often. We had it once or twice, but each time he wasted a lote of our precious time. Of course, he could empty the cookies files unless he does know about it. I'm sure this measure would help blocking a few of them. Regards, Yves

Re: Bug or wrong manipulation... ? - 19 years ago

On my forum, I accept none register user to post. The "Francois" in question was one of them. What would be the best way to block him from using this user name other than blocking access to all none-register user? There is another issues I would like to discuss here. I have been running our forum since 1998 and found that there are actually 3 types of annoying people. It's unfor

Bug or wrong manipulation... ? - 19 years ago

Hello, I'm not certain if I'm using the ban list correctly. I use: version 5.1.16a There was somebody "Francois" who was posting ads on our forum. So I ban his user name because he would not stop. But all user name such as "Francois C-25" and other combination of "Francois such & such" were ban also... :-( In the field "Compare as"

Re: Spam Hurdles Module (CAPTCHA's and other anti-spam tools) - 19 years ago

Hi Maurice, It looks like it's working. There are no more error messages because of excessive file in the cache. However, I've been looking at the new table and it does fill up quickly. I set up the module this afternoon and it's now over 3000 entries in 8 hours (busy forum, I know...) Is there a maintenance routine available or embedded into the code for cleaning up that

Re: SPAM Hurdle - Fixe needed - 19 years ago

Thanks you very much. One day after I shut down your module, I started receiving SPAM again... So I decided to reactivate it but the error message started soon after. We're getting a lot of visitor and I think that is why the cache fills up so fast... In a single hour, we had over 500 active users reading and writing... Regards, Yves

Are you refering to the option of solving a math question into SPAM Hurdle? Actually I was wondering if some SPAM Hurdle options were not using cache. Does anyone know? Regards, Yves

SPAM Hurdle - Fixe needed - 19 years ago

Hello, Because I'm getting way too much trouble with Cache problem and other, I decided to deactivate SPAM Hurdle today. My provider deactivated our forum 3 times this month because it generated too much Cache files. We move the Cache files directories else where and wrote a cron job to clean it up but now our members are getting many "Anti-SPAM" error messages since we did this

Re: User Rank Module - 19 years ago

Hi Oliver, I did tried that version but somehow it seems the old setting file will not override. I keep getting Brain's setting file (without the drop list) even after I completly erase the folder. Anyhow, thanks for your help but I'm giving up. I understand that nothing's perfect but I'm disapointed that they refuse to acknowledge the bug... Regards, yves

Re: User Rank Module - 19 years ago

The post is count correctly but is not interpreted correctly. I did a test where I updated the value to 999. In the profile.tpl, the corresponding Grade was ok. When I posted another message to incease the count to 1000, the variable {PROFILE->posts} gives out 1,000 and this is not interpreted as 1000 but as 1.00 . The Grade output thus become as 1. This bug only occur with the profil.tp

Re: /tmp fills up? - 19 years ago

Hello Maurice, My provider told me this: Why dont you just change the session save path to a directory you have access to? In your .htaccess file in your root web directory, place something like the following: php_value session.save_path /your/desired/session/save/path/ You can save the files off of your home directory and just create a simple cron job to clean it once

Re: User Rank Module - 19 years ago

Hello again, Nobody answered me on this issue so I'm trying again. I have further identified the problem with the profile template. It seams that the coma "," is being interpreted as a decimal. 999 = 999 1,000 = 1.00 So when the post count goes to 1000, it's become 1. I tested my theory by making an artificial user and incremented his post to 999000. And sure enou

Yes that is what my provider said. The owner is "nobody". So I tried this: WWWUSER=nobody CACHE=/tmp/c9201e61e1a9a3d73c1d97db98ebb87b/mod_spamhurdles But I still got the "Permission denied" message. /usr/home/yjulien/clean.cash: cannot create /tmp/c9201e61e1a9a3d73c1d97db98ebb87 b/mod_spamhurdles/clean.cache.files.49615: permission denied cat: /tmp/c9201e61e1a9a3d

Well then that a Catch 22! A couple days ago, my forum was automatically deactivated by the Web provider because my forum was generated too much of these file. Now if I can clean them up, I'm going to have a serious problem on a regular basis...!?!?! Can we simply write a cron job to call on the "Purge Expired Cash data" of the setting file of that module?

Hi, In the last version I used (3.2), I had a little script that was sorting the users in descending order of the amount of post they had. Is this something available with this version 5.1.16a ?
